I left work tonight at 8:55, which sadly was only because they were getting ready to shut down the network for maintenance. See also: So hungry I was about to start gnawing on my own arm, zombie-style. I have a big deadline looming on Friday, so there's been a lot to do lately. I may be just a wee bit stressed out about it all, which is manifesting itself in delightful 4 am wake up calls where I just lie in bed listing off all of the stuff I still have to do in my head. I'm tired and cranky and overloaded during the day which I'm sure is making me a joy to be around. By the time I get home at night all I'm good for is sitting on the couch and staring at the TV. And I'm sure Becky is enjoying my slightly hysterical texting during the day. (Sorry Becky, but it really does make me feel better!)
I am pleased to say that major progress was made today, and the end of this stage of the project is in sight. Soon all of the cool and fun parts of this project that I've been looking forward to and telling people about since last March will start and I'll actually feel like I'm accomplishing something. Once I make it to Friday, that is.
Three things I'm very psyched for that are getting me through the week - 1) hitting the deadline and crossing a whole bunch of stuff off my list 2) the premiere of Lost on Thursday and 3) getting a manicure and pedicure on Saturday. You gotta have goals!
I feel like that too. I realized yesterday that I've been working 12 hour days easily. And I'm going to have another kid soon. So, yeah, a little stressed ;)
You do work some crazy hours. I can't wait for LOST. I hope it doesn't disappoint.
