The Double Life
These days, people who do manual labor often receive more money than those who work in an office. However, the stigma of manual labor turns some people off. The label 'white collar' refers to the type of work where one does not get as dirty. Such is human nature, that many are will to sacrifice the monetary rewards for the prestige of being considered in a more academic form of employment. I knew a person who was employed as a domestic engineer, but he never told his wife. Instead he would go to work in a suit and change before returning home. His wife never even knew.
I think any form of honest work should be seen as good. Taking care of your responsibilities is what employment is truly about. If it were not for someone cleaning the office, how long would that collar remain 'white'?

Today is Sunday and it is still snowing in Zurich. There is seldom sunshine in February. I always want to go out with my husband and daughter, but I am always disappointed because the bad weather keeps us in the house. It appears I must wait for March or April to be able to travel.
I was awakened at 5:00 am by my daughter, Lele, who was crying and rolling around in the bed. Once I was able to settle her down, I couldn't go back to sleep. However, I found getting up that early wasn't so bad. I realize I am able to read and write without disruption. I just don't want to make this a daily habit. Being a mother is a heavy responsibility. Children require a lot of work and attention, so I need to be well rested. There are many things about my mother and what she went through that I understand now that I am a mother.
