I am trying to be positive about work, but I am in the middle of reporting hell and it sucks. It takes a full week to get through - seven 7-page reports I must write in total. And they're HARD. UGH.

I tried coffee today for the first time.

I don't think it's anywhere near as good as pepermint tea, but maybe with time it will grow on me...

Peppermint tea is a wonderful thing.

(((((Eve))))) I admire you for DOING it even though it is stressful. Facing it (as opposed to avoiding it) is healthy. No need to always be positive, either. Sometimes, things just suck! I hope you practice some self care before, during, and after your reports and this week. I'll be thinking of you!

PS: Oooh! Eve! Tomorrow's Friday!!!! Will it be over Friday?

Awww, thanks, KnitChick!!! You're very sweet.

Yes, sometimes things suck!!! Reports suck SO BAD. TGIF tomorrow!!!!

Speaking of self-care, KnitChick, I meant to reply to that part too. YES YES AND YES! You are SO right. This week has been very hard for me with reports due, my back is killing me, and I am super grumpy. I need a lot of self-care this weekend, which is exactly what I am going to do!

And no reports won't be over today, but at least I have a three-day weekend ahead. YAY!!!! Then Tues I'll come back with a fresh eye and a fresh mind for all of it. What I want to do is tell my boss that these reports are far too hefty!!! 7 pages each, and 7 full reports to write!!! ARGH.

Hi Eve. I saw your post in the work forum. I don't have advice, but that's something I'd want to do too (tell my boss, but like you wouldn't know if I should or not). It does sound very hefty.

Have a good weekend

Hey KnitChick! Yes... thank you for your support! It's the weekend now though so I won't think about it 'til Tuesday!!! Heheheehe.

Much love to you! Have a great weekend too.
