Sometimes I really loathe the feast or famine nature of my job. Someone tell me I'm going to figure out a way to meet all of my deadlines.
You know deep down, because experience has taught you, that you will once again accomplish the impossible. I hope that you will at least get a bit of R&R and a some appreciative recognition when you beat the current projects into submission. May you catch a break and have a couple things go easier than anticipated and be in the final stretch sooner than you expect.
Drew, I've been watching a close friend's husband deal with the same thing. He runs a landscaping business and has had two days off since March. I know because he volunteered to help me with my yard but I feel bad taking advantage of his generosity when I can see how exhausted he is. Then, come November, he has nothing to do. Until it snows.
Oh dear god. So my father's gf called. Asking if I would call my brother and sister and beg them to call my father. Seems I am the only one who talks to him. And this past week of treatment has stepped up the side effects from the radiation, and he could use some cheering up. WTF?! They live in the same time zone! One of them lives in the same TOWN. Ugg I really do not understand my family. Anyhow, some coninued health~ma for my father would be appreciated. He is starting week 6 of 8 for the radiation treatment.
I'm glad your father has you, o-a. I hope your siblings step up.
health ~ma for you Dad Omni.And siblings step up~ma too.
omnis, tons of ~ma for your dad and a clue by four for your siblings.
What sj and Typo said, o-a.
I called siblings today. Left message for brother. Not uncommon. He always screens calls, and rarely picks up. I called sister, she was taking a nap. Talked to neice. Asked her to tell sister to call me when she wakes. She never did. Not sure if that's sister flaking, or neice not passing along message.
OK, brain hurting. Doing programming for ND. My notes at 3am weren't quite complete. Trying to remember what needs doing. Ouch.
You know some of my co-workers and I were talking about Scandal and Revenge and it struck me - two very popular new shows, with action, intrigue, etc., and the protagonists are women. And women are fairly high up on the list of antagonists. Add in Once Upon A Time, where the two main characterss are women, and it's looking interesting. And they're all on ABC.
It just struck me ... so often, in these nighttime shows, women will be "the girl" "the romantic interest" but not really active. It may not mean anything, but I find it interesting.
