Confessions of a workaholic

Posted Thursday, May 29, 2008 10:24 AM

Today is day #10 of working straight without a day-off... 120 hours in 2 weeks. After 7pm tonight, I will be off until Monday morning. Although I was able to get through it, I'm never doing this again unless I'm really desperate. I'm exhausted, haven't been into the wedding planning mood, and my house is a mess. I have so many errands to run and I miss spending time with FI and our dog. And I'm grouchy today. I was a complete B*%ch to the pharmacist on the phone (but seriously I had to repoeat myself about 5 time). On a positive note, today is payday and it was great. Like I tell FI when I'm working a lot, I might be tired now, but I'll be happy when I get my paycheck.

I promised myself that 2 months before the wedding, I will stop doing overtime so I have time to workout and do last minute wedding stuff. I'm sure I can keep this promise. But I hope not to kill myself with overtime after the wedding (since I plan to make enough to pay everything in full). But there will always be something else. If not the wedding, saving up for another house... or a new car... or grad school.

The good thing is that I like my job. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't be working all the time.

re: Confessions of a workaholic

FI was a workaholic at EA before he went back to school..the hours were insane, but the money was great, and that's what made him stay for so long! Now that he's finishing his degree, he's realizing it was way too much, but he enjoyed it while he was there. Sounds like a good idea on your part about the overtime...good luck!
