Stress ball
Was on a two-week break from work.
Got my final wisdom tooth pulled yesterday to start my first day back.
It was excruciating and I was on constant calls and my mouth bled all day.
Still, amid those constant calls, I heard many variations of “you look so relaxed.”
My favorite variant was, “So this is what you being relaxed looks like.”
I was 10 minutes into my first call of the day when I said I need another two weeks off because of what you people are proposing we do in the next two weeks.
Jesus Christ, I came back to my desk with four things I HAVE to achieve this week. And they dumped on those two extra projects … plus 12 reports … plus being secretary and planning meetings between two Japanese-speaking groups … plus I don’t even know what because my OOO message somehow stayed up yesterday. So I guess I’ll get hit with more today.
Can’t wait till my next vacation in two weeks.
