Lately I have been repeatedly reminded of this quote by Bertrand Russell:

“One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one’s work is terribly important.”

Here’s the current status:

- Tired most of the time
- Always working or thinking about work
- Nearly complete absence of a social life
- Overly touchy some of the time for no apparent reason

I think I might be overdoing it (insert “Well duh”-type exclamation here), but luckily I can see some light at the end of the tunnel. Projects that have run forever are getting close to finishing, and my vacation is only four weeks away…and maybe after that life will get back to something approaching normality.
