Ok, so I've been busy over the past couple of months, well probably only weeks, but it seems like months, I have 4 jobs, 3 of them on campus (I'm an inter-library loans monkey, a reference desk diva and a grammar nazi at the writing centre) that max out at 16 hours per week (some weeks only 14 hours) and one at a bookstore which shall remain ( Read more... )

You know, I've been thinking of you and how insane you've been lately. I understand the juggling of multiple jobs and school, although I think three was the most I had at one time. And yes, the library jobs are cool, but - and you need to hear these words - you can't do everything. You, who are Wonder Woman incarnate and quite possibly one of the most capable people I know, still cannot do everything. You will be insane, and although the girls and I would definitely come visit you in the mental institution, we'd rather not have to. (I personally suspect they'd want me to stay, and would like to avoid the whole issue.)

I heard about someone opting out of the program, but I thought it was a WC position opening up, which would be better for you, less prep although not as much money. Remember, Mr. O wants you to finish, but he also wants you in a non-vegetative state by the end of it all. This is important to keep in mind.

You've been exhausted lately. The most important thing is finishing, and you can't do that if you have no time or energy to do the diss, even if there are tasty carrots being dangled in front of you. We'll talk. SV Gang soon?

Yes indeed, SVG soon. I'm thinking I do have to make some time for myself, and my sanity, because as nice a quiet padded room sounds (and it sounds good, soooo good), having a degree in hand sounds just that much better. I'm thinking about quitting the bookstore, espeically since my manager hasn't taken what I said about only working once in a while seriously. For heaven's sake I worked 5 days this week and I didn't work today (Saturday) which means I worked 4 weekdays. I hate disapointing people, but as you say, I can't do everything. Sigh,
