so, my job is kinda stressfull. I don't want to say too much about it, but i have responsibility for a lot of different jobs at any one time (up to 75 I guess) all for different clients. its a lot of balls to keep in the air.
And they worry me. I stress out, and when it gets really bad, they invade my life. I think about them on the loo (total tmi I know!) and in the shower, and while I'm walking to work, and making my dinner.
And then, they totally cross the line, and I start to dream about them. and thats when I get kinda mad. I know it isn't their fault, (they don't actually have to do anything except exist, and without them my job doesn't exist!) but I still feel totally invaded, and i just want them to stop.
so, i'm asking for advice. Do you feel like your job invades your life? how do you leave it behind at the door when you go home? I know that they say if you love your job, you'll never work a day, and i am well aware that this could be indicative of my general unhappiness in my job, but a lot of the time i love my work, and i get a lot of satisfaction from it, because i am a helper most of the time, but the dreams have got to stop!
incidentally, i also dreamt about stealing from people and trying to give it back before they discovered the other night, and I had to wake myself up to convince myself that i wasn't a theif.
even in my dreams i'm a fraidy cat when it comes to breaking the rules!
on a very exciting note though, i'm going to book the holiday tomorrow for the workie and i. i'm really excited about this, it will be so cool!

Update as requested!
wow, its been a long long time.
Where to start?
I guess I should take up from the last post, and update my love life.
I really meant it when I said that the workie and I were just friends. I tried really hard. But he is so damn cute, and so damn sweet, and we've been together for about 4 months now. And I'm totally smitten.
I'm actually really wishing I could post a pic, but I don't think that would be fair. He's about 6'1, has short hair (love short hair, have a real weakness for a boy with a fresh haircut) these sexy eyes, and more than that, he's just ace. Man, I am such an eloquent person when it comes to the workie. I'm sure that anyone reading this must be completely underwhelmed by his wonderfulness. I'll try and do better next time. I'll have a think about it and write a better post about it all this week.
He makes me laugh a lot, although he was telling me last night on our way to the tennis that he wished that he made me laugh less. That's only because he has started to laugh like me, which wouldn't be a problem, except i have a terrible laugh (for a bloke!) I think my laugh is ok, and he says its cute on me, but that its terrible on him, and i have to agree!
What else... we're planning a holiday. I know I have to stop comparing him to my old boyfriend, because that it is terribly unfair to the workie, but I'm just struck all the time by how much better i feel, and how terrible my last relationship was towards the end.
Like, I couldn't get my ex to commit to our plans for the weekend more than about 2 days in advance. And planning a holiday together? forget about it! Unless it was camping with his family between christmas and new years, not a hope for me!
But with the workie, its so easy. We're planning a holiday in june together. and not just any holiday - we're going overseas, to an island resort for 2 weeks. i'm so excited, I could just burst! We're going to be able to spend 2 weeks drinking cocktails from coconuts, and lazing on the beach, and scuba diving. I'm really hoping to learn how to surf, because I have always wanted to do that.
Anyways, I think I'd better get moving now. I have just finished making a couple of doorstops for my little unit at my parents place, so i might head home and decide on some dinner.
