Tempted to say that work just gets in the way of astronomy! I'm lucky to be self-employed so I can ameliorate the impact - most of my time is spent on the computer writing reports, so I can keep up to date with what's happening in the astro world without a boss looking over my shoulder.
I can also spend time late for interesting astronomical events during the week without worrying about facing the dreaded bundy at some ungodly hour of the morning!
Time at home is interspersed with work-related travel, which can take me to flat horizons, or deep into the dark skies of the Alps (albeit usually without telescope). I also manage most times to schedule work in Central Victoria to coincide with the Snake Valley camps, hehehe.
But overall, work's a pain. Someone should just give me money and let me get on with astronomy!
Cheers -
