I remember an old Tim Tams ad from back in the day that had a never ending pack of Tim Tams. I know it is not real & I don’t really want one, but it is like my work life right now. <\/p>\n
I have been working super hard the last few months, even more so the last 6 weeks. There has been maybe 2 days so far this year I have left work on time. Most days I am in the office at least 30 minutes early, and leaving around 615 or later. I am working from home a lot on weekends and I am in my emails at the start of each day, before I leave to go to work. <\/p>\n
I probably look like a workaholic right now, I haven’t had a day off in months (even on weekends and time off over Christmas I worked) and my last real vacation was OshKosh in July. Right now I don’t know when or where my next break will be because I just can’t afford to take the break.<\/p>\n
Sure someone could come in and handle stuff while I am out, but the problem is that stuff would just not get done. The last few weeks it has been a constant stream and the next two months look to be insanely busy, so much so I have no idea how I will cope (though the money will help) but I have to make it work, keep on track. <\/p>\n
Life has to fit in there somewhere right? I have goals to work on & achieve, a life to live, a country to explore, friends to see & planes to photograph. Though all my work seems never ending, I need to somehow make that balance between work and life. Where do I draw that line? I have no clue!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
