I love being self employed but right now I could really do with some quality time off! Because of the nature of what I do the work tends to go in phases of peaks and troughs. However, since January this year it has been one long peak!
I am not complaining about the work actually because after all it's a good thing, it pays the bills and means I can go out and have fun. However fun-time is rapidly decreasing all the time. In all I have 3 areas of work plus an OU degree that I am seriously thinking was a complete error of judgement in terms of the time I thought I had available.
It would be very nice to just have one full week where I wasn't meeting the demands of other people, or suddenly finding little added extras that I am meant to be doing/attending being dropped in my lap. Even my social life now has become a source of stress. I want to see my friends and hang out and to be honest my personal relationships with others have always been more important to me than work and money, its just the way it is!
I have 10 days "off" coming up - I say "off" because I am going to be working at Glastonbury Festival. I love it, but I know I am going to come back more tired than I left and have to hop straght back in to the daily grind. The net result that right now I am on an extremely short fuse. If one more person says "Can you just...?" I may well explode!!
