This IT pilot fish is busy at work when his wife calls with a crisis.
"I jumped up to head out, and told my boss what was going on," says fish. "He thought I was overreacting.
"Later, he had a discussion with me about work/family balance, and how I'd have to be more attentive to work and less to issues my wife was having.
"My answer was simple: 'I plan on keeping her longer than any job.'
"I don't think he appreciated that remark. I don't think he remained with his wife very long, either.
"But my wife and I have now been together over 30 years."
