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.
