Sab 17 May 2008
I just left work and it is Saturday. I was the only one in the office for 8 hours. I also could not find the light switch for the lights directly over my desk. The switch has to be hidden. I found all of the other light switches for every area except mine. It was a wee bit dark at my desk. Luckily I have lights at my desk. But that just makes me feel like I am working late into the night with a little desk lamp trying not to interrupt anyone else sleeping in the house.
Meanwhile it is sunny and warm outside for the first time without meanacing rain clouds in over a week.
I have enough work that I should come in on Sunday. I have decided not to as I now have worked 57 hours this week and I know that I will be working 12 hours on Monday and probably 10 hours on Tuesday in order to make the deadline of the 20th.
I just started this job two months ago. I can’t help but notice that I am the only one here and probably have the most hours racked up. This is not because I procrastinated on doing my work, but I have that rushed, stressed feeling like I did. I recevied my data late and thus there I was all by myself on a Saturday.
I feel quite overwhelmed and dumped on. I hope things get better. Otherwise I will have to change things. But isn’t that always how things are?
