You know, I've been working so hard lately, and I've been pretty sick, so I haven't had much time to just sit down and think about what's happened to me over the last month.

I was talking to a friend of mine from home, and during our discussion, we really put it into perspective.

During the last month, I have:

1) Gotten married
2) Moved across the country
3) Totally changed my job position and now work from home when not at a client site

Those are some pretty big life changes to have to handle in such a short amount of time. I guess I would be overwhelmed if I had the time to sit and think about it. But lately, I've been leaving home at 6:30 and coming home at about 8pm every day. By the time I get home, I'm too tired to eat, too tired to get anything done. It's only Monday, and I'm already drained. This is a pretty tough client I'm at. There's so much to do, and I want to really do well at this client because I want to make a good impression with my company. They had enough faith in me to keep me at the company, even though they've been laying people off, and I moved away. I guess there's some form of guilt, that they were right in keeping me, that I HAVE to do a great job and that I have to work my ass off. But I'm tired now. I'm burnt out.

Maybe it'll be different once I start working from home again. I'm still waiting for it to hit me, and maybe it already has, but I haven't stopped moving enough to notice.

But when it does hit me, watch out!
