I think I can break down my stress causes into 2 categories:
1) All the stuff I want to do, that I don’t have the time or energy to do
2) All the stuff I should do, that I don’t have the self-discipline to force myself to do, because I’m too busy being depressed about (1)

80++/week working hours are just a part of the problem. Or rather, allowing yourself to get caught in the 80 hour week trap is a major problem, and it’s not something you can expect the company to solve for you. Either you get better and faster at processing work while refusing to take on more, or you refuse 20% of what’s thrown at you, or you quit and find a new job.

What I do is my call, but I think this really is a problem I should solve for myself. I am in no mood for heroics, no matter the shit other people in the company have pulled in the past to get sites up and about. I refuse to give more, and I intend to give less, otherwise I will end up quitting. And if that’s not good enough for the company, if that winds up being unfair to other co-workers, well, I really hope all of us can re-examine what counts as reasonable, and come to a sane solution.

This is not a sane solution. This is not a viable solution. The funny thing is, I like my company a lot, so I’m going to try my damned best to force a different solution, so I can stay.

Sometimes I wish work were more stressful and time consuming. Maybe then I’d have less time to complain and brood.
