It's crazy. Life that is. Here it is, Tuesday, and I'm trying to keep it all together. My head hurts, I'm overwhelmed with work, seriously stressed over a plethera of issues, and little hope of improvement before my next cup of coffee. Is this the total of my life? Is this what I have to look forward to for the foreseeable future? I certainly hope not.
I thought I was starting to get a grip on things. I thought I had matters well in hand. Two projects on my plate, yard looking good, working just enough overtime to allow me to take my family out to dinner on occassion. Not too bad. Little did I know that it was all going to change in the blink of an eye. Sure, the same old stuff is there; taking care of the house, owning the business that I'm trying to dump, traveling for work more than I should, not making the money I want...blah blah blah. But then Kent left. Yes, the other half of my department left me. Here I was, 50% of a two-man controls show and now I'm it. The whole kit-n-kaboodle. And guess who inherited his three projects? Yours truly. Dayum! What have I gotten thrust into? Five projects and no time. I knew Kent had been looking for a new job. I knew he wanted to go into management. But I thought he'd atleast have the curtiousy to finish one or two of his projects prior to leaving. Grrrrrr! This past Sunday was my last day off for 1.5 months. I shake my head and wonder how this happened.
I'm trying to find the silver lining. Bear with me while I do some soul searching on this one! Until then, I'm going to get back to work. Wish me luck.
