Work Ate My Weekend
Oct. 11th, 2009 04:24 pmOne of these days I'm going to get a weekend where I have nothing to do. No yard work, no cleaning the house, no work-work.
Unfortunately this was not that weekend. Yesterday I busted my ass getting the yard ready for winter, then cleaned the house. Instead of spring cleaning we had fall cleaning. I was even going to scrub the baseboards but by that time I was pretty much exhausted and said "Enough!".
Today is work-work although I have made a deal with myself that I am done at 5pm whether I'm "done" or not. There is currently a database loading in the background, thus my ability to blog and work at the same time. I was told by the parental unit known as Mom today that I need to learn to say No. The thing is I do say no. I feel like I say it all the time. It's just that the projects with the super short timelines tend to get assigned to me. Maybe if I were more of a slacker they wouldn't be but that isn't my work ethic.
Oh well - 30 minutes and counting until I'm done for the day. The rest will have to wait until tomorrow.
