It\'s only a job

I had my first cry over my job today and that was not fun at all.

I have been so much stressed at work for the past two months. Overtime has become a habit. Knowing the project won't be done until January next year and expecting more late evening in the office were upsetting. It is a complicated project. However, many things need being delivered before I start are simply not there. I took over the ‘project analyst’ responsibility and marshal around different groups ‘begging’ for deliveries.

Then today, someone said something, which on any other day wouldn’t bother me at all, tipped the balance off for me. My voice began to tremble and tears swelled up my eyes. I simply needed a place to hide and had a good cry. So I did.

Then I told myself: it's only a job. I do what my job deion says. If others do not do their part, why should I care?

From today on, only 9 hours in the office, play sports whenever I feel like it, resume Gym routines and make myself feel better. So next time when people say something, I won't feel unappreciated. If I am healthy and not stressed, I am more resilient to bull-shit.

Smile, everyone loves a darling ;-)
