Busy And Maybe A Little Burnt Out

This whole two jobs thing is kinda kicking my ass.

Don't get me wrong, I like having two jobs.  I enjoy both of them and it's nice to not be worried about money all the time anymore.  But the past couple weeks I just have felt . . . burnt out.

My real job at MHC is just insane right now.  I'm working on two different special projects, plus DME, plus all my normal duties.  And Medicare is being quite a bit more awful than usual lately, which is just awesome.  And today was stressful because a co-worker opened a spam email and it turned out to be a massive virus, which led to all our servers being offline for like two hours.  Which meant I could do basically nothing.  It was incredibly frustrating.

I'm currently in the middle of a billing cycle at job # 2, which means that tomorrow will likely be a 12 hour day.  And that half day Friday was an 8 hour day.  I don't mind but I'll admit that this job is a bit more . . . involved than I was originally expecting.  I was told 6-8 hours of filing and clerical work a week . . . I didn't expect to be running billing cycles and making collections phone calls.

I don't know.  I feel like all I do anymore is work.  And I guess there's nothing wrong with that, really, because I don't have kids or a spouse or really anything that demands a lot of my attention outside of work.  There are just days when it's very, very exhausting.

But every time I start to get frustrated or annoyed or whatever, I make myself remember what it was like to be unemployed for 2 years and struggle with finding work, and I tell myself to suck it up.  I want to excel at both of my jobs.

So that's about it.  Two weeks from now I have a long weekend (I'm off on Monday, the 18th, and my sister will be here that weekend for the Climb to Conquer Cancer) and I am counting down the days to that.
