a night off

[low_delta]

I had four hours of overtime by Tuesday. That probably doesn't sound like much, but I never work overtime. Work is crazy busy. My head was spinning on wednesday. I was trying to work on an important project, but I kept getting interrupted. I was supposed to visit Doug that evening, so I only worked an extra half hour. I was pretty beat in the afternoon, so I told him I wouldn't stay late. He asked if I wanted to cancel, but I didn't. If I stayed home, I would want to go back to work, and would generally be too exhausted to get anything done anyway.

So I went down about 7:00. The temp was near 80(!), so we sat in the back yard for a bit, talked and sipped some Scotch. Then we went in and played a board game he made. It wasn't going very well, and I originally wanted to leave by 10:00, but he wanted to keep playing so I did. I didn't leave until 11:00, and I was crashing, by that point. I got home at 11:00, read a magazine for a little while, then went to bed.

I never turned the computer on. LJ is pretty dead, these days, so I was able to catch up today at lunch time. I felt much better today. Almost back up to full strength, and work was more "relaxed" today.

Yay for more relaxed work. It sounds like you have been working too hard and deserve a good rest this weekend.

We're going to a formal dinner on friday night and the symphony on saturday night. It's Cyn's birthday on saturday, so we may go out to eat or something. I've got gaming on sunday, and I need to work in the garden.

So I'm not sure about the relaxing part. I may have to work at it. ;-)

Happy birthday to Cyn for Saturday! Hope you have a lovely day together.

I fully understand your reasoning about needing to go see your friend. It was good for you too do something completely unrelated to work and sometimes home isn't that thing.

I worked 3 hours overtime yesterday and it sucked.

I kind of enjoyed working 2-1/2 hours of overtime on tuesday, because it is work that I enjoy, but it sure took a lot out of me.

I worked a lot last month and still haven't returned to normal (oh - that's b/c I worked last Sat. and Sun.).

It's good that you got out and did something not related to work and not at home; although it would have been nice if you'd gotten home before that.
