Dream, catch me... or else I won't come back at all.
What can I say? I am exhausted. The daily grind is crushing me. I work so hard for so little money. That's the long and short of it! I am grateful to have a job. And I am grateful to enjoy my job, most of the time. What I am not grateful for is that I have a job that is so physically and emotionally exhausting all of the time. I worked 7 out of 7 days this week, had quite a few painful meetings, and am totally swamped by paperwork. I suffered only one injury by client, though.
It's harder to relate to people sometimes, because I experience a totally different kind of stress than most people I know. It's probably why I've started hanging out with people at work so much. I really try not to take my work home with me.... but after almost a year of working for Noble, it's really starting to catch up to me. I spend a lot of (non-billable) time on the phone with clients and families, a lot of time making connections and volunteering time and money and energy. All I can say is that when (if) I get that first grad school acceptance letter, it will be a joyous day. haha.
But, on the plus side, who else gets paid to go hiking at Fort Ben and go fishing? I did, today! I chased a very active 15 year old boy around all day, and it was tiring, but he keeps me young. :)
