Just Shoot Me I am So Freaking Tired

Have been averaging one all-nighter per week since 4 Jan this year and I'm completely sick of all this. It's been almost exactly 3 months, and my average billable hours this year are at a record high but I'm completely wiped out.

I wish sometimes I could just do something else. Just for 1 month. Something completely unrelated, so I can clear out the old tired me and maybe I'll find some inspiration in all of this. Maybe I might actually miss this job (*hysterical laughter and knee slapping*). Maybe I will realise just how much I actually love what I am doing now.

Last night was no exception. A surprise conference call at 9.30 pm takes up the last half hour of the 2 hours that I've set aside for The Son. All through the call I can hear him crying for Mama. Why is the call so late? I don't effing know. During the call, there is a general request for a document to be amended overnight (by yours truly) only the comments and amendments are supposed to come from all parties to the call and they don't know when they will send these. So I'm supposed to wait around all night then. Spend the rest of my waking hours and part of the sleeping ones just checking the blackberry every few minutes then. Great stuff.

Told everyone to send me their comments in the next 2 hours. Then went to sleep and set the alarm for 4 am.
