Fri, Dec 16, 2022, More work

Is it possible my great work-life balance is coming to an end. This week has just felt like a pile on. What was supposed to be 2 easy projects has turned into 2 not easy projects that are due when we get back from break. Which basically means I need to work on them next week.

For some reason, working on just the laptop is not proving conducive to actual authoring. I hate it.

I am a creature of habit. I want my work space, my snacks, my routine. I want my screens!

Technically, I could just go into the office since I am nearby, but I'd probably need to be dropped off and have to find my way around. 

If I actually knew what to write that would be helpful. 

I actually completely overlooked a meeting I had later today. Good thing I logged in. I'm kind of waiting for it to be over so I can start my weekend.

I need a plan for getting all this work done, and I know it doesn't start today. 

I really hope I can magically get it all done over 1 to 2 days next week even if I'm on the itty bitty laptop screen and have to toggle between many platforms and documents. Groan. I can do this!

This is when I crave Call Center Life. My work was easy and I didn't have to attend meetings or solve problems or create content.

This is the part of the job that I was afraid of doing because I don't actually enjoy writing technical stuff from scratch. I don't want to synthesize anything. My brain is tired. 

So this is why it's hard for me to project into the future about career (but also why I'm glad I have my safety net), if this becomes the norm, I see myself exiting sooner rather than later.

So right now I feel a bit stressed and a little annoyed at this upcoming meeting. I don't know the answers to the questions, and I don't know how to ask for help. 

Is my sweet ride over?
