Ugh.
So, a few weeks ago, two of the ladies at my employer take a very quick trip to an island in the Carribean. I think they were there two nights and they made the most of it. I saw one of them a few days later and she said “Yep, all that relaxation is GONE!”
After having a wonderful weekend, I have to say I agree with her wholeheartedly. I don’t really feel like getting into it right now, but I feel so stressed and overwhelmed by my surroundings here and at the office. At home, it feels like everything is on my shoulders and at work, my boss and boss’s boss talked about me and my position in front of me…without bringing me into the discussion. I hate this so much, especially the work stuff. I just finished searching Sunday’s paper and Monster for good positions and didn’t find much.
On the bright side: D (my personal chocolatier and all-around savior) bought me the big (and when I say big, I mean FREAKING HUGE) bag of the Cadbury easter eggs. Plus I still have 2 Symphony bars and plenty of other treats-in-waiting.
And on another note, I really do know how lucky and fortunate and all-around spoiled I am. In my small circle of acquaintenances, I know a person who is out of town taking care of the mess her mother made of her self and her home. It’s a sad story and the person I know is a great lady who deserves better use of her vacation time.
