Finally shut down

September 26, 2023, Tuesday night, 7:12pm, pacific standard time, hotel room in Palm Desert, California,USA. I came back to the hotel room at 10:30am and didn’t go back to the office. Part of the reason was physical, I feel a little off. But another part was mental. I finally reached a point of shutting down. Preparing for the mock survey next week on top of everything else is just too exhausting. I am curious what the near future holds. For the first seven months of this job I was dialed in. The last six months have been a grind. I will keep working hard but I am glad the grind is over. That was exhausting.
