STRESS!!!

Apologies if I've seemed a little distant this week. Work's been on my mind a little more than usual, with threatening looking deadlines approaching at a considerable rate of knots. I've been fortunate in the past regarding deadlines as I've been given a considerable amount of, how to put this... flexibility in when I've had to deliver the goods, but as the company has been taking on more and more clients our approach to deadlines has become stricter and stricter, and rightly so.

Unusually I've found myself working later and later as a result. It's quite a departure for me. People I've spoken to about working from home have generally recommended getting into some sort of routine when starting and finishing work, in order to make certain that you get into and out of the work mindset. It's not something I've ever felt I've required. I'm the sort of person who has a little lightbulb in their head that flips on at 9am and off again at 5:30pm. That's when I start and when I stop. I can work outside those hours, but only with the intense awareness that I'm working when I shouldn't.

Anyway, that's all neither here nor there, and I only mention it because I was informed that today is Work Your Proper Hours day. All I can say is that my face is absent the normal smirk it would once have had as I typed that.
