Always Anna

Lately I’ve been working a lot of overtime.  I’ve been stressed at work, rarely stopping for lunch, and regularly working 10+ hour days.  My neck and back hurt from hunching over my keyboard, and my joints ache from not getting enough sleep.  I have no clean clothes, because I get home too late to do laundry.  I’m out of conditioner and razor blades, and I have no time to go to CVS.  This out-of-control busy-ness is not looking like it will get any better any time soon, either… my boss leaves for maternity leave next month, and I’ll spend the next 3 months chained to my desk, getting buried under a mountain of papers.

I am, to cut to the chase, a disaster.  A disaster that is getting bigger by the minute.

But yesterday, I came up with a more positive way of looking at it.  You know how I mentioned that I might get a second job this year?  Well, it turns out that I don’t want to give up my weekends, my night-times, or any other times.  So… I’ve decided to look at all my overtime as my second job.  A second job that pays about a billion times more than working retail, is less horrifying than waitressing, and doesn’t require me to give up my weekends.

Thinking about it like this has made my last two days a lot less stressful than the past few weeks have been.  I only hope this positive thinking keeps me sane until January.
