I know I haven’t written much lately.  I’ve pretty much been working and sleeping.  I’m sure you’ll agree that it is not very exciting to write about.  I’ve always sneared at workaholics and lately I have been realizing I’m becoming one.  Oy.

It seems like I keep getting yelled at lately.  Not yelled as so much as hand slapped.  I guess I’m not prioritizing my work properly at work and someone finally said something about it.  Now there’s no blame, no anger, just a lack of communication in my work load.  I’ve always believed I am the best person to prioritize my work and I still think that… I just don’t think they realize how much is being thrown at me sometimes.

Lately I can barely even get through the my day-to-day work let alone any projects or emails.  I have a dozen people throwing work at me, being the only tech guy, and everyone’s stuff is top priority.  Needless to say I’ve been working my butt off, stressing, and pulling some hair out.  I’m only one person and I have to force myself not to stress over it.

This afternoon however my CEO asked me to come in tomorrow.  This is probably nothing more than reviewing an upcoming project or getting status on existing work.  A small voice in the back of my mind (Satan, is that you?) keeps whispering that I’ll get yelled at for something.  I’ve been known in the past to duck my head into the office, ask if I’m about to get yelled at, and then run away if I am.  I can’t stand confrontation… On the otherhand, I keep telling myself to push those thoughts away and hope that may it’s a job offer of some sort.  I know I’m supposed to be hired next month.

Time will tell…. specifically 9 hours from now.

In other news, I’m on vacation this weekend.  I’m meeting the family down in New Mexico.  My parents are still thinking of moving there so they keep asking us all to meet them there for family vacations.  I can’t wait for a few days off.  I am still mulling over whether or not I’ll bring my laptop like I usually do so I can check in on work.  I’ll get a general feel for what’s going on tomorrow and decide then.
