Blech. I've got to stop staying in the office until 9 or 10. It just never feels good.

You see, I'm working with this theory that if my day is sucking and I'm completely overwhelmed with something that's monopolized my day, it's better to just stay there and keep plugging away until I'm through the projects I'm swamped with, instead of shutting down for the day and coming in the next day to deal with the rest of that project, as well as all the OTHER shit from the next day, and being completely swamped all over again, possibly even worse so if I have to put another big thing on hold.

I always explain it that it's better to have one really shitty day and one day with a potential blank slate than two shitty days. However, if I keep getting the same result every day, it's probably not actually working.

I already have quite a lot of things that I'm completely just not getting to over and over to every day, so ultimately, I need a longer-term solution, because me just staying available for a 11-14 hour day and telling everyone who leaves and says I should leave also "that's ok, I've just got to finish this" is great for me feeling egotistically self-victimized behind everyone's back, but ultimately no one really gets much out of it and no one realizes how wacky things might get if I just stopped doing it.

It's really strange, because it's not like this happens every day, so it's unpredictable, and in the long run it probably balances out, but that doesn't make it suck any less. This is just the way things are when you work for a small business and you're an integral piece of the puzzle that makes the machine run.

It's times like this you can appreciate the appeal of being a powerless cog in a large corporate employment system, but I'm pretty sure that for me, this is a better situation, and ultimately, the ends justify the means, and no one's looming over my head asking me to fill out TPS reports and judging my efficiencies against others in my department, etc.

-Hell, I even just got a raise for all the work I put in, so it would make it hard to complain if that wasn't a skill I excelled in so much.
