Down Time

This weekend has thankfully been another relaxing one.  I had nothing planned other than Tango lessons on Saturday (which were great….i had a few things ‘click’ that had been causing problems before).  The relaxation is most welcom…most certainly since starting tomorrow my work life will once again be on the hectic side.

Exhaustion

As much as I enjoy my job, I am really wanting a nice break.  I am just getting so worn down by it lately.  I’m typically in the office by 7:30 or 8am and typically leave about 5:45pm.  I can’t remember the last time I actually had lunch away from my desk.  I keep telling myself that things will settle down after November…the deadline date for the campus-wide project I’m a team member of.

November just seems so far away.

and then again…

I thought things at work would be a bit less hectic for me this week.

Amazing how wrong I can be.

I still feel like I am simply caught in the current of a rushing river…being hammered against a rock from time to time.

I’m sure next week will be better.

Calming

Things seem to have calmed down for me at work a bit.   The past few weeks were just too much.  I felt like I was being pulled in too many different directions at once.  I wasn’t even sure where to start with all the different ‘top priority’ tasks I had.  Now at least I feel I can manage my different projects.  My sanity appears to be safe..at least for now.

Preparations

I’ve spent my weekend trying to relax as much as possible.  I know that the next few weeks are going to be a bit busy.  Nothing unexpected for this time of year, just a lot of things that need to be reviewed or rejected in as quickly as possible.  Luckily Mike is out of town for the next two weeks…lets me work a bit more without feeling like I’m ignoring him.  With a little luck I’ll have the bulk of the work done by the time he gets home.
