Catalogue of Waking Dreams

Oh, life.

Since starting work on Monday morning and now, I've worked a total of 24 hours. Last night I drank a quarter bottle of scotch and passed out from the stress. Today I got so mad at vitriolic office politics I started getting heart burn. Now, at the end of the day, I'm exhausted again, and just want to go home and pass out. Tomorrow, I have to start work at 7AM to prep for a 3 hour meeting at 9AM.

I've begun to actively fantasize about a day when I walk out of work, get into my car, and drive down I-80 and never come back.

I think I really wouldn't like that.

Is there a work safe way to tell someone that they're being an asshole?

Lately, when walking home after, lets say, a day of both internship and then shitty day job, or perhaps running home from a late rehearsal or class so I can sleep 5 hours so I can make my opening shift, I overthink all the things i have to do, and start coughing. Dry=heaving, and I vomit a little.
Its happening almost every night when I'm walking the final stretch to home. pretty much just then.

So, yay!

To remedy that happening to me I now write a to-do list everyday - I cross shit off and I feel like I've done something. It's sort of the feeling I get when I clean my Apartment. I'm clearly - turning into a neurotic Victorian woman.

I've started to do the very same thing. The thing has been not to write vague to-do things but very specific things that I can act on.

Not "Spend time writing" but "Finish the next scene in the "blah" story" or "research spec-fic markets and update spreadsheet with status."

This seems to work better than a schedule for me. I've started to keep two lists - one To-Dos at work, and another To-Do at home.

Need. More. Fucking. Time.

I am well acquainted with the to-do list. not that I have the time to even write many of them these days (seriously, not a joke) but they have saved my ass like whoah, especially cause I'm so flighty, brain-wise. Like, I'll standup and forget what i was going to do. Like all the fucking time.

Sigh. Oh, the three of us. Working hard til the last.

Sorry. If anything, I empathize. What's with our generation's desperate hurtle forward like this? I have a feeling we're all setting ourselves up for huge success or total burnout. No middle ground for us!
