Balance

I am struggling to find a balance right now in life.  Work is extremely busy. 

I love the line of work I am in but I just feel worn out.  I had another employee give their 2 week notice.  I dont blame this one for leaving.  She commutes 2 hours each way to and from work.  Every time I start to get my team on the right track working toward a goal something happens.

My husband has been ignored and put on the back burner lately.  I feel like I am in internal war to try to get things back on track with the balance in life.

I know everyone needs to take time for themselves yadda yadda. I guess I just needed to vent.  Things will calm down and go back to normal. 

 

Re: Balance

  • dont worry beckster! everything will be ok!

    I'm sure Art understands and hopefully this will be the last bump at work for awhile!

    Hang in there! :)

  • I'm so sorry. I know how that feels. I felt like that way every day of my four year career at CPS. It will get better hopefull though! Hugs to you.

    And you know, if you are looking to hire a great friend who is moving to Pacifica...I'm just saying...Stick out tongue

    I will keep that in mind if we need temporary or part time help. :)

  • Oh, sorry you're feeling overwhelmed!  I'll keep you in my t&p and hopefully things will calm down. 
  • SOmetimes it's all what you allow to have happen to you too. Sometimes we take on and take on more because we want to please our bosses or our companies and we screw ourselves in the process. Just remember that at the end of the day work won't love you back. It's hard to say no to work when the pressure is on, but life and family are what's truly important and we have to not allow work to dictate how much of that we get to have.

    Exactly this, Gerrie has said it best.

    Becky - don't let work consume everything that you are. You are 100 million times worth it, don't let the negativity of your work bring you down. SMILE!!
