this is the last of the super busy times I’ll have for a while. After that, things will lighten up for another month or so, and then they’ll be really light for a few months after that.
I am really looking forward to that. I try not to complain too much about my job, but in the last 317 days, I have had a total of 9 days off. Yes, that includes weekends (what weekends?) and holidays. No, I don’t get paid overtime. I have resigned myself to being an incredible flake at the vast majority of things. I forget to pay bills; I’m lucky if I manage to rush things in at the last minute. I haven’t talked to some friends in months and months. I don’t have time to go to the store, and I visit the dry cleaners about as often as Febreze will let me get by. Some weeks I almost forget what real human interaction is like.
But now all I really need to do is get through another two weeks. If I can do that, it’s all downhill.
