I have spent countless nights away from home with my new job. Most of my friends have started making cracks at me about never being around or saying "I'd never want your job." I'm even starting to feel, at times, that my world is becoming just that, my world. That everyone around me has gone on living and while I'm traveling my life freezes in a ( Read more... )

I have a pretty good friend that works in my dept, whom I met through work. He’s a good guy, smart, creative and I think he’s really good at whatever he does. For a while he’s been kinda caught in a position that he liked when he took it, but grew out of really soon. With that he became bored with his work and the next step in his career path ( Read more... )

"Standing in line to see the show tonight and there's a light on, heavy glow" - I'm sitting in a hotel room working and my body thinks it is 12am. This is my new job and I'm already struggling with this work/life balance. Right now, it feels way off. When I go home in a couple days all I want to do is spend time with Lynds and hide in my house ( ( Read more... )

The nurse called my cell phone around 8:45am on monday morning. I was already disshelved because I was late getting into work, not something I make a habbit of. At first I thought she was trying to get a hold of my dad, but I soon realized she had tried my dad and I was the second in line. "Your mother has been in a minor car accident" she said.

I'm so tired. It's just been a long week for me with work, my relationship, emotionally and...buying a house.

I am pretty busy this weekend and I need to ( Read more... )

This has been my first week back in training. I decided I wanted to run another half marathon in the fall. I really enjoy running and I always feel so acomplished after a push run. I also find it theraputic and right now I need a lot of that in my life ( Read more... )

This past week has been overwhelming with work. I'm in a position where I've got more responsibility and I'm engaged more with higher level discussions and decisions, however I'm also hearing more of the complaints. What I have realized is that I don't like the management aspect of this job. I mean don't get me wrong I do like helping my teammates ( Read more... )

Sometimes I feel like I can't get away from issues I'm trying to work through or just take a break. Sometimes I wish I could, espcially when I'm starting to feel a little overwhelmed.

Five hours and counting until I get to go home for the week. I'm ready to veg and just have some fun this weekend. It's been the first real week within my new position and it came with some successes and then some aggravations. There are 4 other people on my immediate team right now and sometimes I feel like everyone acts like they're running their ( Read more... )

It's the 5th day since I've been staying at my parents house and I am excited that as of tomorrow I get to go home, which is only 5 min. commute from work. I've learned that I definitely do not want to live more then 30 min. from work or the city. It's just too much. I feel secluded there. I don't like that feeling. What is funny is that Layla and ( Read more... )
