As the title suggests, I’m pretty beat down by my life.  It is wall-to-wall filled with responsibilty and mayhem.  Just today I had to make a hard decision of cancelling my World of Warcraft account.  I haven’t played in weeks because I’ve just been so busy.  It really doesn’t make sence paying a monthly subscription right now.

Work is a mad house!  The uppers don’t understand what my workload is and they keep giving me their tasks as priority.  Things are just piling up two tasks at a time and I’m up in my ears with people being frustrated with me.  Honestly; I’m truly learning about project management - but it’s very tough thing to put into practice.  I scheduled myself to “project manage” 2 hours a day - 1 hour when I get into work, and the last hour of the day (away from my computer).  Do you think I’ve stuck to the plan - no!  When I get in I have so many things to do that “wasting” time project managing doesn’t seem viable.  In reality I need to do it.  It’s wierd.

At home isn’t even better.  Right now Leeanne is sick and not eatting.  She’s, visablly, getting skinner and Katina talks about it every day.  Alex is getting really mouthy and testing/pushing ALL our buttons.  He must like getting spankings!?  Well, after my wild day at the office, I have to deal with the kids - my wife is too prego to continue on her day so she’s knocked out on the couch or wherever.

I need to spend less time on the computer.  I’ve noticed that my eyes are getting dim.  Yah, that’s the last thing I need - bad eyesight.  I make my livelyhood on the computer.  That would really make things difficult.  But I’m more or less caught between a rock and a hard place.  I need to take a break from the computer, but I have either personal research to do or work for my struggling consulting company, Digital Alias.  Work needs to be done and I can’t use the excuse that “I’m tired”, or “my eyes need a rest”  Clients don’t want to hear that.

Well; I think that’s enough sharing for me.  This actually helped a bit.  I realize that regardless of how things get at work - I need to project manage.  At home… ah nothing learned yet… just trying to survive from day to day.
