Me Time

It’s normal for everyone to have some ME time right? I believe so. I need it, daily. The 20 minute drive home sometime doesn’t cut it. Sometimes it takes that glass of wine or that check on the gossip page, but I need it. I was told by the hubs that I should not be bringing my work home with me, and normally I don’t. But certain days, like yesterday, I just need a little extra ME time. From when I got to work at 7:30 to when I left at 5:00 I was annoyed. For those that don’t know me, I’m a Product Support Engineer AKA Inside Sales Engineer. I help my Sales Representatives all around the world size and price industrial mixers, for all sorts of products. And No these are not baking countertop mixers.
So anyways, I have a rep that just annoys the piss out of me. Seriously annoys me. I came into work with 5 e-mails from him, 10 minutes apart, all from Sunday night, about the same thing. It’s called control your thoughts and just send one. Then I get a phone and numerous others until 4:50 when I left my desk. All of the questions he asked I answered prior in e-mails or over the phone. It just bugs me that he doesn’t A read or B take notes when talking. Needless to say I had a crummy day and I just wanted some ME time. The ride home was bad and then I had to go to Wegmans, and that’s always a semi-nightmare. My ME time concluded at 8pm last night, after my dinner, my workout, and my reading a magazine.
This ME time, does everyone need it? Yes, I believe they do. Is it accomplished differently? Yes, I think it is. From reading, driving, shopping, a hot bath, a glass of wine, or a good work out. Whatever it is, we all need some time to ourselves. Whatever makes us calm or happy enough to not bite off our significant others head when we get home. It’s the leave the work at the office and your personal life at home and it’s the ME time that’s needed for the in between.
