Capsized Canoe 2006... a success!

Well, it was a very challenging adventure but it was an unquestionable success. We had two very long and hard travel days (10 and 10.5 hours) but we met the challenge and had smiles (albeit tired smiles) at the end of every day. I'll have to take the time to update more details but I had to share the fact that we had a successful trip and I have a great feeling of accomplishment as a result of our trip.

More details in the next few days after I've caught up on the backlog of work from a few days vacation!

I just read that back and...

I know, only I can make myself "feel" anything. So I'm allowing myself to feel stressed over work.

Shut up and let me wallow in my self pity for 5 minutes would ya!

Okay, I'm a little stressed...

I don't usually get stressed before I go on a trip but this time work is creating a lot of stress for me. It seems like everytime I think I've got things under control, some new task or deliverable gets added to the list. Dammit! I even thought at one point that I would bring some work on my trip (reading) but I talked myself out of it. Now I find myself thinkin' 'bout it again.

I'm kinda pissed off right now and resenting my work. I hate feelin' like this... I gotta shake it, and soon. I can't afford to take work with me on canoe trip... I won't feel like I've had a break and that's exactly what I need.

Aaaarrrggggg!


Enough.

Back to work and now to start speed readin' things....
