Getting the Flu & hearing "I told you so" would be worse than doing the job I get paid to do.

 

I’m so stressed. I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to juggle all the things I’m supposed to juggle over the next two weeks, and I just do not know how it’s all going to work. I know I’ll figure it out. It’ll come together. I probably need to organize in my mind what has to be done and by when. Although I don’t know that listing it won’t make me feel worse. I meant to work on all this in my planner today, but I literally didn’t have time to do it at work today. It was a hella frustrating, stressful, mess of a day.

So since I can feel the stress cramping my shoulders into my earlobes, I'm going to try to do some of the work outside of work. I hate doing that, I really do because I’m paid hourly (not salary), and I don’t believe in dedicating outside of work time to work projects.

However, I have a shit ton to get done and I don’t think it’s physically possible for me to get it all done in the “off hours” especially if the coming days are anything like today where customers and random “work” stuff meant that I lost almost two hours of time that I had planned to be for planning and project work. Even with that going on, I’d probably still push for the “no work outside of work policy” if it weren’t for the fact that I have wasted a bit of time at work on Pokemon Go. If a raid or something pops up, I have dropped what I’m working on to join the raid with friends. I figure if I can sacrafice some of my work time to play then I can sacrifice some of my “off/play hours” for work. It’s only fair.

I’m still hoping that the snow storm they’re saying might happen this weekend will hit tomorrow and the Reader Advisory and my outreach will all be canceled for the month and I can just go about doing the other things on my list instead.

Sigh.
