I Gave At The Office

Fifty hours a week, yes, I give 50 hours a week to the office these days. Sometimes more. I still love the job, but it's a lot of hours. Then, trying to sleep 56 hours a week and devoting at least 14 hours a week to physical self-care (washing, grooming, basic body-needs, and so on) and another 14-20 hours a week to daily-life care (laundry, cleaning, shopping, car-care, etc.) and another 21-30 hours a week to nurturing the mind and spirit through writing and music and the creative therapeutic arts, well, that is already more hours than there are in a week and there is always more to do (did I mention social life?), so something's got to give each week and somehow some sort of compromise balancing satisfaction with dissatisfaction must found, created, and maintained or life sucks and depression can consume everything.

Didn't you get the memo?
