Finally a break!
Its hard to imagine that 24 hours ago I was still at work. Once upon a time it was hard for me to imagine what it is like to have 12 hour work days, much less having to work on weekends or working till the wee hours of the morning each day for more than a week. But life is full of new experiences.
I finally had a break today, though I still have to work tomorrow. It feels weird actually, I keep having a nagging feeling that I am playing truant. Its sad I know when work actually takes over my life. But if I am not willing to work those crazy hours, there will be someone else who readily will so I am making the most of the opportunity I have been given!
Of course, I wish I had more time for myself. There are so many things I miss doing; having dinner with my family, dining out with friends, shopping, reading, watching television and just sitting around doing nothing! (Don't worry, Overacuppa, I will be on leave when you are back so we can definately meet up.) I feel quite cut off from the rest of the world because all I have time these days is work. I have no idea what is going in the world and what my friends have been up to. The only person in my family I get to see on weekdays is my mum and for only about 10 minutes each morning. Everyone is asleep by the time I get home from work! Sometimes, I wonder how my colleagues and some of my friends survive living in this manner for years!
Anyway, hope everyone is well and happy. I have to catch up on my beauty sleep now and prepare myself for another week of racing with time!
