Last week I wrote about work taking over my life and how I kept shifting from being ok with it to being in a bad mood. At the start of this week I’d worked late again and when D came home I was in a bit of a bad mood. But for that I got a telling off, and rightfully so.
On Day 159 I wrote about that you always have a choice and if, like in my situation, I’ve decided to stick this project out, then I must make the best of it. Yes… Giving advice is easier than living by it.
There is a time and place for venting frustrations but there is also a time and place for when that must stop. Particularly when it is you yourself that have made the decision to stick it out and to put in that bit extra. But then, I suspect that’s partly why I was in a bit of a bad mood as well. I was angry with myself.
That gentle telling off I got from D to stop being frustrated and having to look at it from the positive side made me realise that I had to stop getting myself worked up about the long days. Not the least because it’s affecting e.g. D who I live with. I have a choice and I have made it. That does however not mean that I must keep working like this. Quite frankly I can’t.
