IronBear,
I read a lot of "you" statements in your post. What about you? your personal life and work life? It is fine and dandy to post about everyone else, but that's not what I am wondering about.
still curious

Simplistically, there are two types of occupation choices. Jobs which you have to consider because there are no alternatives if you want to work and eat, and there are jobs/careers that you chose because either you have been trained for, experienced in or because you love that type of occupation. My way of thinking and prioritising says that you have to have a suitable income to be able to eat, provide a home of some sort and have clothes then you need to be able to afford the fun things you really want to do. It is just silly to allow your pleasures and fun things interfere or take over your life to a point where family (if there is one) and work suffers. If for example, you enjoy high risk sports like climbing high peaks, you should have some form of insurance to cover you in case of accidents and climb within your own capabilities and use every safety precaution etc. With activities like medieval Combat (SCA and metal Weapons groups) the attitude is usually you want to kill (defeat) your foe but not damage him or her because they need to return to work to support their hobby. The same line of thought need to be applied to BDSM activities. If you think comming to work with visable welts may either cost you your jopb or have someone start an official investigation under the belief you are being abused, common sense should tell you to cover up or not have such marks on visable places.
Personality wise, if you are a sub/slave yiou can divert your natural submisiveness into being the best employee your boss has, if you aren't the boss. Of course you can switch it off and become a figure of authority yourself whilst at work. I know of a number of both officers and NCOs in the Military who at work you'd be hard pressed to know they were at home a natural sub/slave. One lass I do know is a CEO of a corporation and when she gets home she enjoys becoming the slave of her Gorean Master.
