While I'd normally just respond to one person - Martin, I've seen your
emails. I've vowed to reply. I still have 1200 emails to go through.
That, and I'm behind in work, and still at the office. I really
should just set up a cot behind my desk at the office and work until I
sleep. There's that much crapola to do.
Anyhow, I sincerely thank you for asking, as I have a lot of angst
(not directed at you or anyone else here). It's just that Hell week
hasn't seem to quit since October of last year, and any personal
projects, self improvement/college to get promoted, or anything else
that I try to do for fun or in the music industry is stuck backstage
somewhere.
The projects have piled up at work and at home, and I can't take care
of the personal projects until the professional ones are taken care
of.
I still say, "What happens, happens." It helps, I suppose. However,
I think I've overused that phrase. In answer to your probable
question Martin, I will scan your manuscript without fail. The
problem is the timing.
I have hit my limit. I can not accomplish any more work than I can do
in a day, yet damn near everything is falling apart and costing me
because of it. Time to maintain my car? Wait until it breaks down
and take it to the shop. Get the mail? On Saturday. Cook? Damn
near never, as it's the next morning so it seems by the time I get
home. I don't know how much longer I can go like this, but I know
that when I hit that wall, I'm going to fall hard.
It might just be the unit I'm in, or the particular position I'm in,
but I have never thought that 'it's not worth the check' until today.
I'm re-evaluating my life, and will make preparations to both stick it
out in the Army (for the 20 year retirement) or to ETS in a year and a
half. That 50% pension is really juicy though. That, and most units
are better - for a multitude of reasons.
Anyhow, I've finished up my dinner break, I'm going back to work and
hopefully getting out of here before eight or nine.
What happens, happens.
I'm going to bed.
