Stopping for a breather
It's the end of yet another work day, and I find myself relieved that I get to stop and rest for a while. But I think of everything I'm still supposed to accomplish and I feel sorry for the lack of hours in a day, but only momentarily because I never intend to work for hours on end, I just wish there are more hours that I can spend on and for myself.
In any case, the past weekend was quietly full. Lots of sleeping time, good food, and even a couple of chances to visit family. Somehow, I even managed to do do some organizing! I found that quite amazing, and today I am back to true form: unwilling and unwanting to get up this morning.
It's really just those minutes between getting up and getting to my desk at the office that are hardest for me. Then time flies so fast, and I'm off to meetings or rushing to meet deadlines. It's not too bad really, especially when, like today, I found out that the materials we produced for a couple of international expos (and what I slaved quite hard for) were well-received, particularly in London. I've got one more big project up my sleeve (before moving on to the next ones, of course), and I can't wait to launch that one. (It'll be online, so at least I can link.)
I've always said that I'm quite a bad employee (because I'm so used to being my own boss), even if I can be a very good worker. Thankfully, I find myself in a position that allows me to plan my days, work with a style I'm comfortable with, even if it means perpetually aligning with set objectives and goals. It's almost like freelancing on some good days, except for the timing in (that I totally detest, but it can't be helped, I did choose a corporate setup. But the deductions, oh my!).
I have big decisions to make about what to do with my job and career direction in the next few months. A few weeks ago, I was thought I was already certain about what to do, but I have recently also found myself just thinking that I have time to think, deliberate, and plan. And so I shall. And not just about work, but of an entire change of lifestyle.
Back to the subject of time, I really wish there are more hours that I can enjoy. As I head on home tonight, I think about how I really have just very little time until I must rest, just enough time to destress, relax, and catch up on each other's day. But I will cherish those short moments, as this is the time I get to shut out the world from inside my front door. Work will inevitably resume tomorrow, but it's time to forget about it for now.
