Breaking from the challenge for a minute to vent.
I keep reading posts on Facebook from someone who complains about needing to take a break from work for "Me Time." Ok, you don't even work full time. You are home alone more than you are at work.
I personally worked 53 EXTRA hours over what I should have last month. I worked 13 days in a row - it was supposed to be 11 until my comp day got denied and then turned into 13 when I ended up having to finish a job over the weekend. Of those 13 days in a row, 3 were weekend days,5 were at least 10 hour days, and I had to travel to California. I barely see my husband, let alone my dog (who seems to favor my husband more and more). I get interrupted with work while I am out with friends and family. I can't take lunch away from my desk, let alone make it through an entire dinner more than once a week without work interruption (a problem that has been somewhat resolved by turning off work notification on my phone once I leave the office). I work for someone who gets pleasure in treating others like crap. In my free time, I am work for free for an ungrateful client who asked for my professional help and then tells me that all of my suggestions are wrong.
But I can see how YOU need "me time."
