So it's been about a week since I last updated my blog and I feel completely behind. There's so much to say yet I don't know if I have the energy to get it all out at this point. But i guess I need to start somewhere.
Its January 12th and I'm officially one week into busy season. Surprisingly it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be as things are still getting started, but we are back to mandatory 55 hr minimum weeks....which absolutely sucks. There is nothing worse than knowing you have to complete a minimum 55 hour week when there really is not that much work to do yet. And not only am I working my 55 hours for KPMG, but every night I leave my day job to help out with dance team. Which is actually the best part of my day...haha go figure. The point in my day where I'm most tired and ready to drop....that is the place where I gain strength and happiness.
Busy season is upon me and there's not much I can do about it but grit my teeth and bear it. I'm hoping that it is going to be better than the last...and actually have an end to it. I'm scheduled at one client until April and I'm actually really happy with the team I'll be working with. We've got a good group together and I think it will definitely help get through the long and grueling hours.
As for everything else in my life....well its been halted for the last week. As I pretty much wake up, get ready, go to work, go to dance, come home and sleep....I dont have time for much else. No real social life these days which is pretty depressing. But when I spend most of my day running around all I want to do on my nights and weekends is crawl into bed. So thats why this weekend I've taken the lame route and stayed in for both my Friday and Saturday night....because the joy of this weekend is that I am NOT working! Not working a weekend during busy season is the biggest blessing I could ask for right now.
And my day tomorrow??? Well the Chargers play in the morning so I will be glued to the set...and then dance practice tomorrow night....and then we restart the week. I'm going to try and stay up to date on my postings here....but again, its a rough time of year and sometimes the last thing I want to do at night is analyze my thoughts. Although it would probably help keep me sane during this time. Because last year I didnt do that. I kept everything bottled inside and I almost self destructed. But I can't do that anymore. One thing I've learned from this job is that although I will always be a hard worker....always be dedicated to giving 110%....I cannot and will not allow people to take advantage of my ambition. Because without speaking up I allow them to control my life, my schedule, and my happiness. And that is something I cannot live with another year if I plan to survive.
