Sleepless in Seattle Part Deux

Blast, being up for 4 hrs and still awake. Tons of work waiting in the office but have a feeling will get temp relief in a few hours if I am still awake. As usual, nothing TIVO and a hot cup of cocoa cannot solve. Ever watched Boston Legal? I highly recommend it. William Shatner and James Spader are a pair to watch. They are quirky, intelligent and sometime down right ridiculous. Then again, I love David E. Kelly's shows. These last 2 weeks have been hell. Ask hubby and he'll probably say, "what's new?". But really, it's been hell. Everything that can go wrong went wrong. Everything bad that I never thought could happen to me, did. Every opportunity you wanted in a job is right in front me, if only I have the time. It's bad enough with 10 hr days + blackberry + accessible VPN from home. Feel kinda bad as I keep hearing myself, the stress is only because of this and that project. Maybe I am not cut out to be a PM but process improvements are my passion, I know it now, recognized and known for it. Used to think I can be objective enough to stay unbiased and fix things. Well, self doubt kicks in. Fine timing. Finally called out for help and vented. This time it did not do the trick. Let's reassess the positive of the last 2 weeks. My dreadful cold/flu is leaving, finally have an appetite to "taste" food, kitchen is clean, don't have to travel during the holidays and daughter's school pics turned out great. Still laughing at everyone's jokes, have not sweared at a customer (yet), no bitterness towards all living beings that can spell 'cell phone' and home at night to tuck daughter in safe and sound. I guess my mentor was right, "It's not like someone's going to die.....". We usually end the sentence with something you are supposed to get done with. Puts things into perspective, at least for those who still love our jobs....What do you think???
