all work and no play

[sassyj]

I have just worked 15 days in a row -- and I'll have to work all this week, too. I feel depleted in ways I have never felt before. It makes me crazy and I start question everything; why I do this, what makes me stay, how I can get out. I've had all sorts of wild mood swings and my fuse is so fucking short people don't recognize my personality

Damn, and you just got done telling me how relaxed you were!

I'm sort of in the same spot. It's not hours and hours of work - just this one set of issues that seems like they will never close. Fucking depressing! It's leading me to overeat and not exercise enough. Bleah.

I talked to you the day after the big handoff and I'm thinking life is all easy now and I can take lunches again and see friends and relax and...BOOM. Loc trouble, last-minute files to add (and write, and edit, from scratch and turn around in a few days)... well, there went my Zen moment. Nice timing. :)

I'm glad you got to have that small moment of luxury before the bomb dropped. And I was glad I got to share it with you.

Guess what? the roller coaster is now going the other way. I get 2 comp days to make up for the insanity - so with the July 4 holiday, I'll have a nice 5-day weekend. :)

Hope you guys have a good time and that you get some skating in.
