It’s not often that I use that word…stressed…I’m not really that type of person. I don’t get easily frazzled or bothered by things…and when I do, I usually try to let those things just roll of my back. Lately though, it’s really the only word to describe the feeling I have. I’m just stressed out.
I obviously never divulge any “secrets” of where I work or what I do exactly, and I try not to talk about work TOO much, but these days work is majorly stressing me out. There have been some changes going on in my department which have definitely caused increased stress and tension with all of the employees. I think it’s only natural to pick up a bit of the feeling…and to be honest, there’s nothing I can really do about it. I just have to keep my head down, get my work done and that’s all.
I guess with the holiday’s coming and many things having to be wrapped up before then, my workload has simply increased and the expec
tations of the work I produce are also dramatically higher than usual. I know that I can rise to the occasion and perform under pressure, but something about it this time has me a little weary…a combination of things really…actions of others, actions of the market, my own personal actions…
Because I like to see the positive in things, ehem, "POSITIVELY preppy in pink", it does make me incredibly happy to know that when I come into the office each day I am met with a good group of friends, which by the way is something that I would have NEVER imagined I would have had when I started here almost one year ago. And - I still really love where I work. I love the mission of the company and our product.
So if I've seemed distant, this is why. Yes, of course I have been busy in my "home" life with lots of traveling and visitors, but mainly, I'm coming up blank with some of my writing because of this "stressed" feeling.
Now that I've got it all out though...I'll hopefully be on a good track. I also think a long run tonight will help me release a little bit of this stress.....I do have a half marathon to run in just about three weeks!
Until tomorrow!
**As for the funny "photo" on this post...I'm not really at this point yet...and rarely am, but I do find this pretty funny/cute! Happy Thursday!**
