Michael and I have somewhat of a running argument. He claims that I'm "too busy" and don't know how to relax. I have *tried* to point out that the Org is a hobby, and therefore doesn't count as work (ok, ok, so I'm stretching it a bit), and he points out that I seem to work harder after I get home than I do at work. (However, he doesn't realize what a pressure cooker my job is, and that Cam drama still pales in comparison to my career).
It makes me wonder if something is wrong with me? The only extended periods of non-activity (hibernation) for me tend to be those in which I am horribly depressed. I would wonder if this made me manic-depressive, however, I don't really seem to be depressed all that often or frequently. (Making me a maniac, instead, apparently). I just withdraw from the world when I've been emotionally wounded.
I also don't need anywhere near as much sleep as he does. This tells me that my health is getting back to normal, actually, as prior to my diagnosis of Type II diabetes, I used to only require 6 hours of sleep a night, and I seem to be moving back to that model in recent weeks. My sleep periods are lengthening and overall I feel as if I'm getting more rest, even though I've pushed back going to bed an hour (11 instead of 10).
Our helpdesk's "Health Check" begins this morning. That reminds me that I still have a "to-do" item on my plate, gotta make sure I do that first thing (barring another Production emergency). We've got a team meeting scheduled for this morning as well. Should be an interesting day overall.
Tomorrow I'm taking a PTO day to make an accreditation visit to High Tech Institute in Marietta. I'm going to be the visiting "Occupational Specialist" that evaluates their network program to determine if the school gains accreditation for their program. It was an opportunity for an interesting resume tidbit, so I thought I'd do it. There is also the possibility that I will be a guest lecturer there at the school later this year, we'll see if that pans out as well.
Also need to go get the oil changed in the truck this week. I need to call the dealership and see if I can set up an appointment to have it done, or maybe I'll just go over there either before work or on my lunch hour and take my chances. At least I did manage to get to the grocery store this weekend. I've also decided I'm coming home and making lunch for myself each day, just to get away from the insanity at work. The problem with bringing my lunch tends to be that I wind up eating it at my desk, and that is just wrong on a lot of levels since no one will leave me alone, even if I have my "At Lunch" sign hung on my cubicle.
Of course, my mind is still running a mile a minute, and I can't seem to get all my thoughts out through my fingers today, so I'm going to stop while I'm ahead. My subject question still plagues me though (in reference to my lack of relaxation), and has been for months. I think I'm a mutant.
Ciao for now.
