"Frankly, I don't have much sympathy for people who only work a 40 hour week and have lots of time for personal activities."
You've made a choice. A conscious choice. You mentioned that in compensation for your efforts you have more money, and don't punch a clock. I'd be willing to bet your employment is more varied and stimulating than a factory job.
I do ok financially. I could have been wealthy, I knew the path, I knew the trade offs. I settled for a comfortable life where I could coach. Where I could see my family. I'm ok with that. And I'm ok with those who have less, but work less or vice versa.
So, rather than accept your fate, and realize their are other paths, you're bitter. Nice choice. If everyone works 60 hours, and no vacations, who coaches? An asset we don't need to worry about?
You want congratulated for your hard efforts, well, ask your family if you being missing is worth it?
You also seem to say screw anyone who doesn't take your path. From the school of "I walked to school 5 miles in the snow, uphill, both ways... and you should too"
Take a few hours off. Go see your family.
Don't worry. There are plenty of people available to fill the coaching positions. There are damn few available to pull the load where I'm working. The few that qualify are working the same long hours until we meet the objective.
