I recall that fact about myself
Posted on 10. May, 2008 by Deb in Just.....Me, Just....Working
Last year, I spent a fair amount of my time simply trying to survive. The travel was constant, but part of my lifestyle, the work rewarding in many ways, but I also discovered that when stressed emotionally, it is very exhausting. Mentally. Physically. Oh. and Emotionally as well. I thought I was in a situation that I couldn’t walk away from. It was fear, honestly, if we get down to it. Fear of something different. Because even though I was stressed out and drained, I didn’t have the courage to make a change.
When I began wrapping the project – earlier than I would have liked – but still – began wrapping. I became relieved. My heart told me that I had been making the right decision because my gut didn’t tighten up.
This week has been my first full week working with my newest (big) client. It has been really great in so many ways. I love the project and the work and really am liking the people. As I mentioned yesterday, I have a bit of a routine going, now, so that is a very good thing for me. I have also realized that in the right circumstances, I am a bit of a workaholic.
or. a lot of a workaholic.
I don’t always see that as a negative, by the way. I have been fairly absent from much of a personal life outside of work anyway, that it isn’t a detriment. I would like to spend some time writing, of course, but while writing may one day pay all of my bills, at the current moment, putting together puzzles and providing my QA background does.
I have gotten to dinner with friends a couple of nights this week. That has been a very good thing. I have NOT made it to any of my favorite spots in DC (besides dining establishments – LOL)….but if the weather holds tomorrow, I will visit Arlington and/or Lincoln.
I DID go into the office today for a few hours and it felt so good to get a head start on Monday. but I took time to get my toes done – and have a nice dinner.
I hope everyone is having a good week. Once I get into better routines, I’ll get better at keeping up with correspondence….blogging….and back to regular phone calls. And now it’s time to say goodnight….and snuggle into my comfy bed with way too many pillows. Much love.
