We should always find ways to celebrate the little things in life. What better day to celebrate these little things other than the best day of the week? So, here are the things that make this a Fabulous Friday for me this week ending 22 February 2019.

- SURVIVING – Work. I am in full-blown survival mode right now. Between transitioning from a private to a publicly traded company, the new year, a new month, additional duties, new reports, and pushing out as much information as possible every week, it is all I can do to make it to the end of each week. My job used to keep me busy one or two weeks each month with the rest of the time left to work on projects and seek ways to improve what I already publish. Things shifted towards the end of the year with the push to finalize a budget and have not let up since then. It is all go all the time. I know people, my husband being one of them, who loves that type of work environment. I do not. I need some downtime. I need a boring day now and then. This 100 mph all day every day is brutal and leaves me barely functional in the evenings, hence my lack of reading. I am still optimistic that once I finish revamping reports and creating the remaining new ones on my list, my duties will settle into something more manageable. Things have to settle down. I’m an accountant for crying out loud. We don’t do crazy like this!

What makes this a Fabulous Friday for you?
I’m doing the happy dance that this work week is over, but I’m not sashaying. I’m dancing wildly. 🙂
I do a happy dance every time I leave work these days. On Fridays, it is wild dancing as well!
Is this the new norm? Or is there an end in sight because you can’t go on like this.
There is an end in sight for the worst of it. I am afraid my days of actually being bored at work are over, but that drowning sensation should no longer occur.
John’s coming home from his business trip tonight! He’s been gone all week. I was only home from my last business trip for a few days before he left. I’m ready for our hectic schedule to calm down a bit!
I find that as you climb higher on the proverbial food chain, hectic becomes the new norm. No one ever tells you that when you read about making that climb.
Yikes it really does sound awful – I hope things SLOW DOWN for you soon!
Things are finally slowing down a bit or are more manageable at least. I knew the sale was going to cause chaos, but it came in a form I was not expecting, and that is what I have been struggling to control. I have some of the most significant projects behind me now and am making headway on the others. I feel like I can breathe again, which is a great feeling.
