Feb. 2nd, 2017 11:06 amI generally take Tuesdays off from exchequering. That's a sanity break - it's good to know there's one night where, barring emergencies, I generally can have dinner with the wife and watch TV brainlessly.
I did that this week. Despite Tuesday being the deadline for Domesday reports. I knew either way would be a bad choice - either I'd be overwhelmed with reports and reconciliation with no time off, or I'd be overwhelmed with a day off. So I chose the latter.
I stayed up late last night trying to catch up. And failing. Then I couldn't get to sleep, because my brain was too active I guess. Now I'm over-caffeinated and jittery (but at least awake).
It's been important that I do this job. I've improved things somewhat, and frankly there wasn't anyone else willing and qualified. But $deity this part is hell for an unpaid volunteer with a day job.
