In this candid monologue, Brian Kaskavalciyan reflects on the personal toll of his overworking schedule. He describes staying at work until 6 or 7 p.m., which caused him to miss key family moments such as picking up his young children from school, sharing dinner, and simply being present after they had already eaten. The long hours left him exhausted and irritable, and his anxiety and stress levels escalated dramatically. He wonders how his altered behavior affected his children, noting they sensed something was off but didn’t understand why. Looking back, Brian feels deep regret, describing the lost time as wasted because the early years of childhood are fleeting and will never return.
