Internal Affairs

The headline isn’t an understatement. Lately, I’ve been working too much. On Wednesday, I went to Grapevine for an assignment and worked until almost 10 p.m. Yesterday I reviewed The Fray and filed a review by 11:40 p.m.

The concert ended at about 10:40 p.m. By the time I got back to the newspaper and sat down to actually write, I had only 30 minutes to do so. That’s the joy of overnight deadlines.

I’m working tomorrow too, but only for a couple hours.

Not complaining really. There’s an air of “you did this to yourself” that goes with being a journalist. We never really get days off and our work often follows us home. There have been plenty nights where I am editing video while watching television. It’s not even bad time management on my part.

I told my mom once that this sort of work isn’t just a job. It becomes a lifestyle.

Maybe it's just me...
