Work it.

I have really gotten lazy here in Grenada. What normal humans do in a day, I can't accomplish in a few. I only work part time, which for someone in her mid-twenties, is not very impressive.

But this past week I have really ramped up the workload. The research project I have been doing on the side of my part-time work is in the middle of post-testing so it means longer days, and more migraines. It means staring at my excel sheet that is so massive, my data wouldn't fit. I learned that excel has a maximum amount of columns/ sheet. That would be "IV" by the way. 

I'm very blessed to have a job here. They are extremely hard to come by, and especially for that reason I am eternally thankful for the opportunity. But I think what people forget, is that work will always be work. It will always be laughably miserable at times. Doing, and re-doing things. As you can tell from the above screen, there was a lot of fun being had!

Sometimes, and we all do this as humans, we just say things. Let me give you an example:

Person: Oh, you have a job?!
Me: Yes!
Person: Oh that must be nice... to keep you busy.

I mean... yes. But also, NO. Perhaps people think that pre-employment, I sat and waited by the door until Ross came home. 

I mean, yes I miss him while he is gone, but I have interests, activities, hobbies, talents that I am more than capable of employing to keep myself busy. And I think I speak for everyone who works, when I say that: 

Saturday was a long day, 9+ hours of testing and data collection. It was wonderful to end the day with my favorite Greek Food Truck with Ross, and a nice sweaty bus ride home. :)
