Regulars' Table

[Selene310187]

The last three weeks have been very stressful again. Not only did two family magazines have to be completed, but I also had to take over the work of the colleague who the boss had recently fired. To make matters worse, as you may already know, I was very sleep deprived.

In order to get at least a little more sleep, I spent another week at my mum's to work in her flat. The week before last, I worked 5 hours on Saturday and 5 hours on Sunday to catch up on the work that had been left undone during the days of extreme sleep deprivation (in some cases, I only made progress at a snail's pace). By last week Thursday, I had to have entered all the data from the event organisers (I take care of the event calendars for the family magazines). The highest number was 49 e-mails of varying lengths (from 1 page to over 20 pages). To cut a long story short: despite the stress, I managed to enter all the events in the events calendar.

To recover a little, I asked my boss for a day off, which I wanted to take last Friday. However, as I was needed on Friday for queries regarding the corrections, I took this Monday off instead. It was actually good that I had the day off on Monday, because then I had another day to get used to my own bed again (I wasn't back home until Sunday evening) and my ‘dear’ neighbour.

Only one family magazine has to be finished next month (the publishing house produces three family magazines; two are published in one month and the third in the following month). Let's see if this production is less stressful.
