Sleepless

I can't turn off my brain, which in turn means I can't sleep. I really hate when this happens, but at least it's Friday and I don't have to be up tomorrow.

I think that I'm not exactly in a place where I can deal with the frustration at my job. I really like my office, the work and the people. I just don't think I want to be a manager. It seems that there is wave after wave of frustration. I haven't learned to let it roll off, but I also don't know if that's what I should do.

I can definitely see how some managers stop caring, but I don't really think that's a solution. I worry if our folks are happy, what we can do to keep them happy, how not to burn them out. All this worry and I know that eventually it won't matter. It's frustrating. Lots people try to work our people into the ground, because of course they should be able to do everything, quicker and with a smile on their faces. Yeah, they love their work, but there's only so many REALLY important things. Frustrating.

So, what would I be doing instead? Who knows, laying on my couch being a lazy bum? That sounds nice. Not sure the hubby would appreciate that much.

Maybe tomorrow I will feel completely better, after some sleep.

I'm very sorry. Don't ever stop caring, though.
