I should be asleep

I know that I'm going to regret this tomorrow morning when I'm cranky from sleeping late.  But the one thing about sleeping is that when you wake up you need to get ready for work.  I suppose I'm just delaying the inevitable.  I wonder who looks forward to going to work.  I certainly don't dread it, but I don't leap out of bed raring to go every (or any) morning.  Is that a sign?  I keep asking this question lately and I don't even know why, because I don't believe in "signs".  Maybe I should rephrase the question to "Is this an indicator of the existence of an underlying problem?"  Again, maybe I'm analysing this too much.

I had a lovely day off today.  Bad hours at work over the past couple of weeks meant that I scored a day in lieu.  Had lunch at Box Hill and went shopping.  I'd forgotten how calm it was going to shopping centres on a weekday during office hours.  The crowd is mainly pregnant women, mothers with kids, and old people. It was just very pleasant.  No one was rushing, most people seemed to be in a good mood.  Such a change from corporate life in the CBD.  I'm starting to understand why climbing the corporate ladder at a high-profile company isn't for everyone.  It's stressful, it has bad hours, the commute is long, so unless you're doing something you love, why put yourself through all of that.  Instead, have a stress-free job with good hours, and if the work isn't stimulating, well, it's only your day job anyway and you're back home before 6pm and don't have to think about work until 9am the next day.  I recognise that my priorities are changing - I used to be so motivated.  I'm just unsure what my priorities are right now.  I am thinking of applying for a different job, but not sure where to apply.  I think it's too early to "settle down" for a comfortable job, but I don't think that I can handle the stress of another consulting company. 

Quarter life crisis, here I am.
