it's Friday: work week exhaustion

Well, it's official. I survived my first full week back at work.

And boy, am I exhausted.

I forgot how tiring it was to be on your feet most of the day, dealing with several different things at once. Sometimes it's like juggling half a dozen bowling balls at once- technically possible, but requiring coordination and a whole lot of effort.

I was reminded this morning of how hard Fridays can be. Though I normally have minimal problems getting up Monday through Thursday, I was jolted awake this morning by the sound of the alarm, and rolling out of bed was a complete struggle.

Thankfully, today was at least busy. And in between processing samples and unpacking boxes, there was a lot of technical documentation to read through, which is about as mind numbing as it seems. But, having the chance to sit was definitely a welcome change after a long week.

I'm grateful to have a job this summer, especially because so many students (along with those who formerly worked full-time) are out of work right now. But despite that gratitude, I still have to say... TGIF.
