Burnout

General
Sometimes I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing half of the time, but I get by. I’ve found making a diligent effort to set goals help a lot. I’m back on FA nonetheless.
I got college coming soon in a few weeks. The job I have finally burnt me out enough that I decided to chuck the two week notice on my boss—but we eventually agreed that I’ll go part time instead, haha! It’s nice to feel wanted. Seriously though, I’ll work 20 hours one day and then 14 the next. My days off feel limited because I’m sleeping all the time. It’s awful. I started chugging down Pepsi to ward off some of that fatigued nonsense too...
At any rate, I like my job. My boss is a nice man and does stretch those angry, stressed wrinkles on his face into a refreshing smile at times. I feel bad for the eSort team though. They’re so worn out. The work just keeps piling on without any end in sight. On the other hand, I always hear them talking and laughing in the background. The work atmosphere isn’t as gloomy as one would think. Sometimes I feel the work really brings us all together because we understand each other’s struggles. We are all friends.
Other than that, over the days I got three new commissions, two which I just posted, and the third is still a work in progress. These might be my last for a while now. I got college and some other obligations I gotta focus my money on.
Things are looking up for me. I’m excited to see what the month of August has to offer.
