Burn out

I have been tired all week. Between a few 14 hour work days, two plane flights, and at least three conversations with my boss... I'm not feeling any love for work right now. I have a ton of paperwork to do today, and all I want to do is nap and pack for the weekend.

I had a nice long talk with our senior special ops engineer yesterday, and it came around to the realization that the major points of contention we have today are the same ones we identified to management two years ago. No warm fuzzy feelings there.

With M going back to school and the wedding this fall, the truth is I'm not going anywhere else, job-wise, until Q1 next year. Unless my employer chooses otherwise, but given our staffing woes and my last two reviews that doesn't seem likely.

There is a nice long list of things to do around the house, and a moderately long list of things to do for the wedding and... we're going out of town this weekend. I couldn't be happier. I need a break from the lists and the cell phones and the airplanes, so heading up to the mountains where it may even rain sounds great to me.
