There are days when I am not so in love. Days when I would give anything to be able to walk into a store and buy come frosting in a can. Or maybe some vanilla extract. Or some black beans. Or green beans. Good beer. Pork chops. Or being able to find nice specialty shops, like {nice} yarn shops. OH THE YARN SHOPS.
This week I have been overloaded with work from a special project I have volunteered to help out with. I didn't realize that it would be this much work when I signed up. I have been feeling slightly under valued while being horribly overworked. I'm pretty sure that I have already worked over 40 hours this week - normal working hours plus all the extra time I'm putting into this other project - and it's only Wednesday.
I asked the other people who are involved to help me out - that I am on the verge of being burnt out. I'm sure they will come through. They are good people. This is a good project. I'm jazzed to be a part of it; I'm just hating the amount of work that I have had to do in one week.
The work has made me horribly cranky. I have no patience for some people ... some students too. I feel angry and sad and tired and empty all at the same time. But I know that this week will never repeat itself (I am going to make damn sure of that). This is a one time push and then it's easy street for the rest of the project.
I will show you what I've been working on, I promise. I am too impressed with myself to not show you. But that is a post for another day because I'm still not done working on it.
On a happier note, I got a fish! She is a betta. Her name is Star Shine. She lives in a big jar. She likes to stare at me when I eat breakfast. Long story short: she totally rocks.
