Run by Whine

The Work Issue, is eating my life. On the stress side I got the guarantees I was after so am going to ride it out - but we are clearing backlog at a huge rate.

How?

By working constantly and endlessly with long hours and few breaks and working at home and weekends and clocking a truly ridiculous amount of units.

I have no TIME for anything. It's not even the time - it's the energy. Legal cases are constantly buzzing around my head and I have to Concentrate. Every. Damn. Second. Of. Every. Damn. Day.

Tooo tired to do anything. I just have to collapse and blah in my free time now.


Oh and getting up extra early in a morning is triggering my old weird morning issues. JUST what i need. Bad hormones, i don't have the ENERGY for it.

...

Are you getting overtime for this?

Make sure you take care of yourself. I don't want to be the harbinger of gloom (which I seem to be doing a lot to you recently) but it is very easy to make mistakes when you get this strung out and it'll be you who ends up suffering for that.

You chaps need some locums in there soon.

ugh. i feel your pain! i remember having a hard slog like that at work in feb-march. i'd leave for work before the rooomate awoke and get home after he went to bed. the only thing that kept me sane were cheeseburgers. chin up!

Ouch. That sounds like sheer hell. Take care of yourself as best you can, Sparky.

I hope you're gonna get some time off after this, it sounds like some quality time with the significant other is exactly what you'll need once it's over

Best of luck getting through the backlog, don't stress yourself out too much about it

........morning issues huh?

I'm sure the BF finds that quite intruiging. Of course not feeling up for it even when you're 'up' for it is a pain in the ass.

and not in the happy fun way I imagine.

alright enough of my dirty mind, I truly hope you come out on top..... of the heap of bad shit.... I know what you were thinking.

You know what will allow you to blow off some steam, this weekend is good for it.

Do something you don't do, call them Tuesday and tell them you've worked yourself sick and go do something fun.
