finally hit the breaking point.
this job will be the death of me if something doesnt change, post haste. 45 hours in 4 days is just too much to ask of me. i work far too much, dont recieve enough credit for the hard work i put in, and dont get paid NEARLY enough for the amount of crap i put up with.
this job has pulled me away from my friends, most of which i hardly know anymore, since i'm too exhausted at the end of a shift to see them. this job ruined a relationship, because i work too much, and always on the weekends, and never got to see him. this job is breaking my body ever so slowly (oh i didnt tell you about the hip strain, or the physical therapy, or possible impending surgery? huh, go figure), and it's breaking my spirit with astounding speed and precision.
i got a compliment from tony on saturday after all was said and done and we were recooping from an insane dinner: "i'm glad it was you here tonight." thats really all i need to hear. just a little reassurance that all my hard work is not in vain. because thats how it has felt as of late.
just so... discouraging. especially since this isnt the first time i have writen something to this effect. as much as i love being crazy busy, constantly being active, yadda yadda....
i need a new job. an active, high-paced 9-5. so i can get back to a normal sleep pattern. see my friends. have a life again. and not feel disgruntled like this anymore.
sigh...
