They are working us to the bone

I am a month in to a serious herniated disk and knee deep in a big conference, media campaign rollout, annual report, and launch of a new website. Everything I have been working on for the last seven months is due next week. I have to brief the head of the agency in a week. I have to finish writing his speech, and I have to get better.

My days seem to consist of hitting snooz three or four times because I am so tired from staying up late. Then I get to work an hour late. Then it's go go go until 3 or so. Then I eat lunch and leave the office for the first time that day. Then I stay until 745 because if I stay later I can't get out of the building near my office and I have to walk around to the other side of the building, which at this point is more steps than I can handle.

They say working in Washington is supposed to pay off. I wonder how long I will have to wait.
