Amy's Ramblings

Amazing.

I think this is part of what I'm going through at work.  It can affect my home life too (and it does; I feel exhausted after work and all I do is sit in a chair and work at a computer!).

I realized over the holiday break when I left my work computer at my apartment that I need time off and I need time away.  I'm considering leaving my work phone at work but there will be that time that something comes in and I need to be accessible.

*sigh*

I hate that I think about work on the weekend and days off.  I need to stop.  It's one of the reasons why I don't work from home.  At all.  Well, only a few times when I absolutely need to (appointments or whatever) but I don't like bringing my work stuff into my apartment.  I've been leaving my notebook at work too.  I'm thinking that helps, or I hope it does.

I am home.

I am fucking home.  Well, my mom's house but I did the majority of my growing up here so...

It sounds stupid, coming home helps, but it does.

I finally feel like I have a chance to relax.  I've left my work laptop at my apartment and only have my work phone.  I check my work phone twice a day.  If something comes up, I can go down to my apartment and log in and take care of it.  Only an hour and a half away.

Having an on-call job is shit, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.  I wanna get better but I also need time to myself away from everything.

Tonight we're chilling and watching stuff on Netflix.  Tomorrow night is a party at a friend's house.  Monday is Christmas Eve.  Tuesday is Christmas.  My brother has to work Wednesday through Friday.  Friday night is the blues concert at the Crow.  I am SO looking forward to that.

I go back to work on the 2nd.  I'm not wishing my time away by any means but I just have so much to look forward to with this break.

I'm tired.  I'm burnt out.  I *need* this time with my family and friends.

I need time with good music, movies, and video games.
