Pressure

This past week as you are well aware from my post last week, I have been troubled by back pain.  Double that with an incredible amount of work with a deadline thrown in for good measure and you have my life over the past 3 days in a nutshell.

This Tuesday night I am leaving to go out of state for the rest of the week.  I have a massive amount of work, and a looming deadline.  It is during these times when we all find out exactly what we are all made of.  I lost my composure yesterday, went on a tirade & ranted.  Walked away from my desk for a few minutes, came back and made the following line my status update on facebook:

"tell me I can't and I'll take everything I have inside me to prove to you that I can."

All my life I have practiced the art of being one who never quits, I have been a fighter.  Sometimes I lose sight of that fact and it takes me a while to get back to who I am.  I am happy to say I am back to who I truly am and I have no doubt, although I will have to work some long hours and go on little sleep over the next two days, I will make my deadline.  So if you don't see me around, or don't see me chatting it up as usual, it's because I refuse to quit and I need to meet the deadline.   

.....and well, I hate to admit it but sometimes I get a rush of adrenalin from knowing there's some pressure and I just might achieve the impossible.
