Week End Blues

I was really looking forward to this weekend. I was going to take the wife to the wetlands with the intention of going try to catch a sight of a couple of large monitor lizards or if we were lucky... maybe even a crocodile sighting. Unfortunately as things always seem to turn awfully wrong for me these days, I had to cancel the lovely trip to head back to work. It wasn't just a day taken out of my weekend but I had so much work that I ended up heading back into work on both Saturday and Sunday. The only consolation was that I wasn't alone. The office was like any other weekday with just about everybody back at work on Saturday. It was absolutely shocking! Sunday... today was a quiet affair though. It was just me and another head-of-department who had too much work to clear so we found our sorry-selves back on a Sunday at work. I honestly don't know if this job of mine is worth it anymore. I'm feeling tired all the time and I miss spending time at home. All I ever do is go back home to sleep and then it's out the door again the next day. It ain't healthy.

My weekend isn't mine and now tomorrow is another new week a head with more work coming. I've told the wife that we'll do our wetland trek next week but honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if I had to take a raincheck again because something urgent crops up again that demands that I finish or have a response at the very least by Monday morning.

Crap my weekend ended without me :(
