looking to preserve my serenity and sanity

The past few days I've found myself talking more about the job, and there's not much of a sounding board to go use, simply because I don't have that kind of thing going on. I found myself trying to work it out in the shower, just so I wouldn't have to bother anybody with my concerns and experiences on the job. It is a day job, I keep reminding myself, and I'm there to take care of what I really want in life. I want to do a good job and be a good employee, but at the same time, it's also to take care of what I need.

So just trying to work that balance. The holidays are rapidly approaching and I am staying focused.
