In another month my hours will go down at work and I get to go on a vacation to see my daughter! Thanks all, Positive Marymc will be back soon!
Oh Mary, I can commisserate. I worked a job that I LOVED for 70 hours a week and I didn't even like that! Even a GREAT job isn't good after 50 hours!! Too many hours at work saps your strength and kills your energy, and makes everything else in life hard.
I hope you can soldier through the next few weeks. Maybe make a countdown on a calendar at home that you can cross off the days. Maybe treat yourself to something nice-- a bouquet of flowers, new shoes, a houseplant, even some nice bath gel or powder? Anything that will raise your spirits.
Mary, I hope you feel better already, just from venting in writing.
