Words were never truer...

Andrea: Sorry. It's a busy day. My personal life is hanging by a thread, that's all.

Nigel : Oh, join the club. That's what happens when you start doing well at work, darling. Let me know when your whole life goes up in smoke. That means it's time for a promotion

Yea! That line really caught my attention too in the movie! It's so true; I've come across a lot of workaholics in my field who have done some great work but have broken families. Their demeanor is so different when it comes to business and when they're in glitzy glamour world, up on stage presenting or lecturing than when you have a personal conversation with them in a quiet room. The second they sense a window to open up, it's a volcano of emotions that was bursting to get out and you become their savior. It's rather sad actually; they complain that they are so successful yet they don't have anyone to share it with.

Amen. I can't tell you how true those lines sound.

I'm lucky that I'm not there yet. But I would like hit those points as flashpoints in my career and not make them the status quo
