Oh 4/15 where are you?

April may be the cruelest month...(well and January, February, and March...) Busy season is really kicking my butt this time around. I spend endless hours staring at the computer doing endless amounts of work! Help! I love it when I think I am wrapping up and I am told I have to do JUST one more thing before I leave and its already 9 p.m.!! That 1 hour a night I spend on my couch just isn't satisfying me anymore. No joke when I get home sometimes this is my night: late dinner, then plop on the couch because I am so exhausted, then I climb into bed to wake up to do it all over again.

I'm missing out on all those simple pleasures in life...like 2-day weekends, watching LOST, doing the laundry once a week, leaving the office when its light outside, putting my relationships first, homecooked meals, yoga class (okay so I never went to yoga class but if I wanted to I wouldn't have time).

I literally had to sell my soul yesterday to leave at 5:30 to go to a Nationals baseball game. Tanner really wanted me to go with him and it wasn't until about 5 p.m. that my fate was finally decided and we found out Tanner would not be going stag. By the way I am really lucky to have such an understanding husband...It was such an amazing night even though the Nats didn't win. It was perfect weather for a baseball game and I made sure to really enjoy every minute.

The good news is April 15th lies just around the corner and soon there will be many more wonderful nights like these. Sometimes I need to step back and realize that yes my job is tasking on me and my personal life at certain times of the year. But also realize that I am lucky to have a job during these tough times when others do not, I am getting great experiences and I am building an outstanding resume even if it does come with a few tear-stained late nights.

Hello East Coast.

I feel like some people here in my office are afraid of human interaction. So imagine this you are walking down the hall and someone will see you approaching and will make eye contact with you and then they instantly dart their eyes to the floor and act like they never even saw you. What is wrong with people? They are not going to melt and die if they give a kind hello or ask how you are doing or even a simple smile would suffice. Its actually super creepy to tell you the truth.

What makes this even more awkward is the fact that in these situations I still say hi, it either catches them offguard or they completely ignore the fact that I exist. For a moment I get this weird, embarrassed feeling inside because they have no response but it actually is pretty funny now that I'm thinking about it.

If you are reading this and it sounds like you or someone you know...then I encourage you to say hello next time you see someone in the hall. I promise nothing bad will happen.

Control

Sometimes I feel like work is like prison and I get "life" release.

Today was a two sandwich Friday

....and all I wanted to do was crawl under my desk and whimper until I fell asleep.

Grrrr!

I am still at work and it is 12:25 a.m.
