Next Week is going to be tough

 How to make it through the next 9 days.

This week was rough. I've pretty much been released from much of my projects pending my transition to a new role.

That free time is what gets me in trouble.

My aunt practiced some of her "coaching" skills on me last night and actually it really helps to talk about problems. It just lessens the burden somehow.

I can't seem to shake one thing I didn't say last week though. The telephony conundrum. I think because I spent so much time on it. But if we're passing the buck..it was really the SME's fault. 

She is definitely great with her words. Very woo-woo. Very good at limitations and boundaries. Textbook. 

Do people who set boundaries get farther in life? 

So onto the business of the next 9 days.

Oh but I have to say it. 

Boss lady, you were wrong! That contact doesn't reach that skill. WFM, you were wrong! We don't use that skill for this type of call. You made me look like an idiot. Brain, you let me down! You're so overworked and stressed, your recall memory is shot! Boss lady, stop leading me down all these wild goose chases. 

That didn't feel better. 

Can't win them all. 

Vendor, you're both right. Skill to skill transfer doesn't count against our OB skill. Transfers to external contacts does utilize an OB skill. 

Thank you, thank you!

Meh, that didn't help.

Ugh, I'm tired of working on myself.

Anyway, what did I come on here to say?

How I'm going to handle the next 9 days.

I spent an hour or 2 last night trying to find somewhere to go. Just to get my mind off work. 

The idea of spending a mortgage payment on a weekend getaway was a little difficult to swallow to be honest.

How would that look?

Would I take my work laptop? My work ipad? 

How would I have access to the internet? Just using my phone?

What if I wanted to blog?

How do I look up stuff?

It would be my first Air B&B.

I decided to try to make a schedule.

It includes work for 3 hours a day. 

Which leaves about 12 waking hours un-accounted for. What do I do then?

I did like the Air B&B cuz I could do some laundry. That'd be nice!

I don't know. Leaving the house just doesn't sound like that much fun during the week.

I've dumbed it down so much - to just doing laps at Walmart. It's free. I can't even stomach doing that. 

It's like I want to be stuck in my turmoil. Groan.
