3 - Seven days a Week

This week, I am working every day. I report for two different companies, who produce very different types of news.

The variety is great; the hours are not. But as the prospect of having no steady "staff job" income looms closer, I find it hard to turn down any extra shifts.

It's just that the more tired I get, the more certain I am that I'm giving neither job my best. And that is tough, because I want to enjoy every moment while I can.

Now, I have friends and family who work 70 hour weeks as Doctors or Police Officers, and who are in the Military serving abroad in Afghanistan and Iraq. I know that by comparison, I have it easy.
Very easy.

All I do is talk for a living, and hope it makes sense! (borderline decision...)
And hey - we have TV's on our desk at work - so it's definitely the job for me.

I can watch the Olympic Closing Ceremony and kid myself that I am actually at home.
