stop working so much

I’m still working more than I’m supposed to and hiding it. This seems like a lot, but at the job I left recently I worked 70+ hour weeks on a regular basis.

i’ve decided that i won’t work more than 50 hours on any given week. i mean why should i? i’m not getting any points for it. and yet i’m still getting nagged about stupid things.

oh and just because i had 2 days off this week, doesn’t mean i’m going to work 20 hours tomorrow.

wow, i sound really bitter.

And not in the GWB sense. All it took was getting laid off and re-hired into a different group @ the company. I am actually wondering if this was divine intervention … if I had relied on my own self-discipline I might have worked myself to death.

Fortunately, the only harm done is a bunch more grey hair… and that can be easily fixed.

I realized a couple things. One, I’ve been severely hoarding work from everyone – my agencies, my boss, my employees. Two, everyone is miserable because they feel under-utilized (except, perhaps, my supervisor, who would like me to work myself to death, I fear).

I need a radically new way to think about my job. Sigh. It’s so much easier to blame other people.

Only about 112 degrees. Sat on the 2nd row on the 3rd base side, full view of Soriano. Maybe his last game! A much better way to spend the afternoon than on answering email.

Need to stop the madness.
