heh, retail therapy

Even if it is only a check reorder.
I picked a new check style, purple and silver and classy. Much like me *Evil grin*
Plus, I printed a buttload of labels, put pretty labels on the Tax Folders, I like this idea MUCH better than the writing I was using. As far as I'm concerned, the printer just paid for itself in happiness. Now, I just need to order some other labels, like folder labels, and hanging file folders, and disk labels, and I'll be the happiest geek I know.

I spent a lot today, but most of it made me happy. And took care of necessities (OK, I accept Yu-Yu Hakusho ISN'T a necessity, but the food and supplies I got at BJ's are.) I keep forgetting, tho, how much is coming to me in April, I haven't even done most of my billing, even remotely, and I won't be able to til after Tuesday. I plan on having a VERY good time in NYC *LOL*

Now, I just need the time and energy to finish the returns I haven't done yet. I'm going to go sit in bed and prep the returns I haven't done - Although I actually have "permission" to bring my label printer to the office, for my boss to play with, so it may just stay "hooked up" accidentally/on purpose til I'm ready for it. *evil grin*

Eh, I think I"m going to bed instead. Tomorrow is a total new day and I don't have to deal with my evil client til next week.

My boss says the funniest things

Like "You know, until the Season is over, we're going to come in early and stay late."

Um, how late did you mean, since I'm usually here until 9 o'Effing CLOCK when I come here! OK, I know I don't have the hours some people do. But, do the math on this:

1) Arriving between 10-11:30, depending on where.
2) Not eating breakfast, since there's no time/no appetite (I'm sorry, I'm just not hungry until at least an hour, or more after i get up. In fact, the thought makes me gag. The only difference is that I've been able to drink the shakes rather soon after getting up. This morning i was up for a half hour, and drank it and some water.)
3) Not eating lunch (either I didn't bring one and I can't go get one, or I don't have TIME to eat what I've brought.)
4) Not eating DINNER until 10 or 10:30 PM (See 3 about too busy)
5) Doing 8 things at oncem at any given time all day.
6) Not being able to take even a "smoke" break (if I smoked, see 3 and 4 for no time rules)
7) getting home after 10-11PM. This is about the time I'd have to go to bed to be getting up earlier than 9AM. I challenge ANY ONE OF YOU to go to bed withing 15 minutes of getting home, barring illness.

Thenm do ALL of those things Every Day For FOUR months. Give or take. My schedule's been like this since mid-January.

I'm wiped. I'm flat out exhasted. Being told I'm not "giving" enough is like a blow to the stomach, I almost burst into tears several times today. I want to be responsible for MY clients, and not shafting them becuase of someone else's work.

I do a few things to decompress:
1-Read Live Journal, a LOT
2- Watch Reign the Conqueror, and InuYasha, when I can.
3- Go to ManRay Wednesday night.

I arrainged my schedule to be able to do those things. And now everyone is telling me I can't because They need blah.

Tell me, when was the last time you had to schedule time to Eat? Or do laundry. i don't mean "I have to do my laundry on Saturday?" I Mean " I need to have between 7-8PM on Saturday, to do laundry" I'm serious - I mean by hour and minute? Becuase I have to.

I guess I just feel defensive right now. Like noone understands the pressure I'm under, that I'm under watch, and being found lacking. I believe that if I don't let go once in a while, I'll break, I believe this in others too. If I think you'rew working too hard, I'll make you take a breather. I don'tbelieve in working all the time and never enjoying what you're working for. i'd rather be poor.

OK, I don't have "work" to do per se, I need to print out some more returns, and then I think I'm heading home. I have more to do, but I don't think I'm getting to the this weekend, I promised Katie I'd stop by her party.
