Go ahead and ramble and vent all you need to. That's what we're here for.

I think you know this, but you are working harder than anybody expects you to and it's not paying off for you. You do such a great job, people feel like they can come to you with problems, while others like the GM are unapproachable. The employeed like you and know that you will try to help them and not get mad at them or ignore them. But you give more than you really have to give. Working too hard is just going to wear you out. You know what the expectations are - giving more than that just isn't getting you any farther.

You're doing all of this for Alex, but if it doesn't leave you time to be with him and enjoy him and give him the love that he needs from you, then what good is it? You have said before that you are a perfectionist about your work. But what is it that really matters?
