Burnout?


I'm really starting to feel the burn, and I have two Saturdays left to work. Thank Goodness! I have been spending entirely too much time at Pagoda. Attempting to navigate passive aggression and office politics are so much worse than this job could ever be. To combat this, I'll spend more time mingling in other cliques. In fact, the job is starting to grow on me. I'm not sure if teaching is my bag, though; yet for now, it's great. My life gets more organized every week. I still feel like I'm being pulled in multiple directions, yet now I've learned to research and discover; so I read and scheme nightly. "The joy is in the journey," they say; and I bought the ticket so I should take the ride. As a teacher, I'm wondering whether there is a point where you can disconnect from the job. I know vacations exist in some parts of the world, but do they recharge a drained soul? lol. I know. I know. Don't act so dramatically. Oh well, my travel plans are starting to get me pumped and excited. I'm gunna do it, man--four countries in one year. Maybe next year, I can get to three or four. Saving is key. Keeping my sanity without spending money is paramount yet impossible; thus I think the true technique is managing spending. I have already established a tight budget, but I think I can pull the belt one notch tighter. Is is ever enough? Hell no. But one investment, I have once again been considering, is my health (thanks Mom). Exercise is free and I should take full advantage of this fact. I have been working out, but my lackadaisical attempts are futile. Well, such is life. PS. I ate dog last week. Check it out on youtube "almightysephano"
