**bump**

I spent last night as coach and cheerleader for my S/O who was finishing a paper for a refereed journal... He was up 48 hours straight before he completed it. It's not fun editing such a technically challenging article, but he was so touched that I stayed up and helped him with it. I'm learning that it's hard work getting a PhD, but that it doesn't feel like work to him...he loves it so much.

I've started to wonder if I can find any profession that I would love that much. I certainly find my work engaging...but I'm not in love with it in the same way. It's his reason for breathing...and that approach inspires me. Wonder what I'll be doing in 10 years...will I still be doing the same stuff I am now, or am I getting closer to a career change? Hmmm...
