Burn Out!

Holy cow! I am so sick of working 10-14 hour days!!! Right now, I would so love to say "yeah, I work a 9-5 job", but no. When people ask when I work, I have to say "As early as 12:30pm or 1pm, but usually closer to 2-2:30pm, then my classes end at 11:30 but I don't leave until Midnight some days and 2AM other days, just depending, then sometimes I have to come in in the mornings for meetings or conference calls or whatever". Ugh. This sucks. Don't get me wrong, I really like my job as far as teaching and working for Bank of America - I'm just tired! Then since I'm on salary, I don't get paid any extra for this extra time I put in. Grrr. Frustrating. I'm tired. And I don't have internet. And they didn't show Heroes this week because of the election. Grrr.

Did you know that having nightmares about work is a sign of burnout? Well it is. Guess how many nightmares I've had the last few weeks? At least 1 nightmare every night. I even had one that my boss went on a killing spree - that one was just odd. Anyway, just wanted to vent a bit and let you all know that I'm tired. I'm really, really, really tired. That and I ran into a table today while training and I have a bruise on my leg now. At least my classes have been really good though...Okay, I'm rambling now, sorry my life isn't more exciting. :(

Burn outs, hmm, so that means that after working only a week durring the typical summer weeks at LaBeau's everybody has burned out. DUH!! LOL. I miss those paychecks, but not the work nor the BS of lil lazy kids. Summer of 06 was THE worst. Sorry you are having nightmares at this new job, that really sucks. Work nightmares should only occur from working at LaBeau's. Sounds like you need some very much needed R and R! Or some TLC.

I do over time ALL the time and I consistently walk into tables and walls and get bruises all over myself, then forget how I got them because I do it so often! lol. :P ... sorry i guess i just gave my sob story when i was trying to console you... haha. :P I hope you get some rest soon while you still can! ;)
