Hi everyone. I don't think I have any particularly strong connections here with anyone, but I do enjoy talking here. I've been less active recently though because I've had a new project at work that I'm leading, and it's caused me to spend extra nights and weekends to do it.
It's not a toxic environment I work at - it's very supportive actually - but my brain is telling me I should be doing everything to make this a success. I take promises very seriously, so when my manager says "we need this to go well", I take that to mean I will do absolutely everything to achieve that and on time, even if I must suffer for it. I know it's not really meant to be like that, but I'm too conscientious.
The good news is that my efforts have been noticed and it is going well, but I do feel very tired now and wishing I could go back to leisure activities I enjoy.
