My husband works a lot of later day shifts, so he doesn't get home until 7-9 at night, and some second shifts where he won't be home until midnight or later, and man do I find myself missing him on those nights. :( We could be in different rooms of the house and not exchange a single word in an hour or more, yet I'd kill for that when he's not here. Reality TV... blech... I assume Foxtel is the UK (you do live in the UK, right? If not, please correct me! Ahh I feel silly saying that, lol) version of Fox? Blah, some of their shows are just crap. They're trying too hard with the reality/shock value shows these days... I hear you on missing the significant other!

Working that many hours a day for any length of time isn't healthy for anyone other than the employer :) The question I had to ask myself is do you "work to live" or "live to work". Good luck with it! Balance of work and personal life is important as you’ve noted, I found even more so once you get married and have kids.

Maybe we both just need to start submitting our stories anonymously to sites that aggregate work stories. Or to each other... "A friend of mine has this co-worker that..."

From their reaction you'll know whether to keep going there or find something else. If they don't appreciate the effort you've put into it and at least TRY to take some of it on board, then you might be no better off career wise than you were in your last job. Plus the plan might make a nice addition to your portfolio regardless of their decision. At the very least, you'll have something extra interesting to blog about.

It's kinda hard to explain. My ideas here and there, are more "lets redo the brochure, here are some quotes." Whereas my long winded plan is everything, a whole strategy for the business.

Are you sure you are speaking to the right person in the organisation about it? Maybe you need to go right to the GM / Owner if they are the receptive type, although you might risk annoying others in senior roles. Whatever you do I don't think handing management an idea here and an idea there is the way to go. Try integrating a few Marketing Strategies in one plan and present that... maybe that's what you have already prepared! Sounds like you’ve given this plan lots of thought and hard work.

I do my work, but then the bit of free time I have for fun or blogging or web design I tend to piss away, heh. I stick to feeds, and I'm a HUGE fan of failblog, thereifixedit, peopleofwalmart, etc. I'm glad I inspired you to create a new design! Now if only I could get one going for myself!
