LIfe is Stressful

This time of the year is very stressful. Management likes to have us do everything this time of year. Performance reviews were due to management yesterday for review before we do them with the staff. Our tactical plan is also due right now. It is the end of the quarter so all of my monthly and quarterly reports are due by Wednesday. And to top it off, the VIP Club person in Fulda scheduled our travel show for Tuesday and then decided to schedule her doctor's appointment for that day. I am suppose to handle it for her. I am not even suppose to be a VIP Club rep anymore!!! Well, the performance reviews are done, the tactical plan is nearly done, and I have some of the work done on my reports. Calgon take me away!!!!! I will be so glad when next week is over. I don't like to wish my life away, but when I am under a lot of stress like this, I don't sleep at night. Last night I slept okay until about 2:30 - then I was wide awake! I end up coming out and laying on the couch and watching TV until I can turn my brain off. Well, after Wednesday I should be able to sleep. Then the week after that I have to take the VIP group out to Deadwood. I wasn't suppose to have to do this trip, but the person we hired to take over VIP Club quit already! We just hired someone new, but she just started, so it isn't fair to send her out on a 4 day trip right now.

Speaking of performance reviews, I wonder how mine will turn out. I am curious as to what they are going to say on mine. I'm not nervous, just curious. I have worked my a@@ off since the merger nearly 2 years ago. I hope they recognize how hard I have worked since then! Oh well . . .

After the Deadwood trip I finally get to take some time off. I get back from Deadwood on a Friday, work Saturday and Monday then I am taking 4 days off. I have so much planned for that time off. Cleaning, purging, etc. I hope I can get it all done. I probably won't though. I will probably do stuff with friends and the grandbabies. I guess that is more important anyway. Cleaning house etc can wait. Counting the days until I can sleep.
