Let me start with a bit of Kaity philosophy. I fully believe, no matter who you are, you have to take a mental health day at least once a week. Sometimes you might be lucky, and you naturally have one with how your job is scheduled. Sometimes, you don't. Now, some people can go a lot longer than others without feeling the need to take a day for themselves every week. (I'm 98% sure that these people would claim to be extroverts.) The other group of us may need more than one day. It's all who you are.
The thing is, it is up to you to make sure that you give yourself what you need, especially if work can become an every day occurrence. To do your job well, you must mentally be at 100%. (Please note that there are things you can do every day to make sure you're there as well. Like sleeping and eating.)
But sometimes you need more. You need a full day away from whatever the stressful thing is. You have to be a responsible adult and learn to say 'no' every once and a while. Otherwise, you'll burn yourself out.
(And here the reader realizes that this is exactly what Kaity has done to herself last week and this week.)
Yeah - I saw the big picture. The glorious fat paycheck heading my way with all these extra shifts. The problem is, by taking away my mental days (because I thought that I could handle it) I'm not functioning at 110 % every time I go into work. Oh I do everything asked of me, but I'm sure I could be doing better. I think I'm currently at an 85% level or so.
Really, this post is just an explanation of all the subway shots in the video this week. Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
Saturday, I'll have a chance to recoup. I'll get back on top of things and be able to give next week my all.
Until next time,
Kaity
P.S. I don't even have an excuse as to why these things don't appear on Sunday's like I originally planned. These are popping up late because of who I am as I person. I have just embraced it.
