I work 70÷ hours a week and go to T once a week. New T also and the work feels like another full time job!
Thankfully i work in a very creative, emotion- driven, moody, weird and beautiful (in terms of the actual work product) environment. As with my colleagues, I try to keep myself together but sometimes I have a little meltdown.
I do try very hard to compartmentalize, though. And I only do as much as I can manage based on my inner turmoil.
Thankfully, nobody really blinks an eye, if anyone bickers, freaks out or throws a tantrum. Door slamming is common too.
If it isnt me, it is someone else freaking out or in a super bad, moody mood.
If I were still working in a strict Corp env, or controlled env or an environment where I was responsible for othet human beings and their welfare, I dont think I would last very long...the pressure would be too much.
Also the main thing is that i remind myself i am doing the best that i can, when i have a mis-step i acknowledge it and try not to do it again and most of all, remind myself that i am human.
Oh and if i am having a bad day i try as hard as possible to avoid my colleagues that are also having a bad day...it is a high pressure job...so i know when to give my best stay away from me right now look...it works well
I hope this helps a teeny bit.
