Normally I don't mind having an east coast client, but right now I have two and it's killing me. They are both up and expecting things at 5:00am my time which means in order to do my own stuff before jumping into theirs, I have to be up at 4:30 and that ain't happening right now. I am still sleep deprived from the weekend and having a hard time of it. I worked as much as I could on everybody's stuff yesterday but it wasn't enough apparently. They want more. Always want more. The only upside is after 2pm I get a reprieve from the emails and phone calls. Downside is after 2pm is when I actually get things accomplished. Catch 22 from hell.
That was my day yesterday. I even got to the point where I couldn't function in my normal spot. I literally needed three machines at once to make everyone happy so I tore up the dining room area where the desk is and added a desk extension out of a cabinet I have. I now have three computers all lined up in a row where I can work without problem. Or at least a little easier.
Talked to TGF a couple of times yesterday. She is getting ready for finals so was actually up 'early' yesterday even though she didn't have class. She met with a study group from like 11-2 to get stuff done for her English class. Then she hung out with friends until about 10 when we talked again. Didn't have much to say unfortunately. I am just not very good on the phone sometimes and it makes me feel awkward. I don't know why, but I am just meh when it comes to talking on the phone. I prefer face to face or to talk when there is something to talk about.
Given both of our schedules this week I probably won't see her until Friday and even that is up in the air. Might not be until Saturday. Oh well. We see each other quite a bit and a break won't kill us. I sometimes forget this is how normal couples are. You can go a few days without seeing each other. Hell, if we didn't talk for a day it wouldn't kill us either. But that would be harder. Much harder. I need to hear her voice or at least get a text.
The kid worked from 8-3 yesterday and then we went to the grocery store. She was wanting chicken and waffles for dinner and I obliged. We needed some basic stuff in the house anyway. Today is her long day and my quiet day. I will get laundry done, and enjoy the solitude as I mentioned yesterday. We ate dinner and watched TV together. She is doing better about the whole boyfriend thing but not quite over it yet. She needs some time.
Something is on the horizon. I feel it in my bones. I don't know what but it is there.
