Let me preface this by saying I hate it when people talk about how much they work. "I worked for "X" hours today!" "I've been here since X:00 AM!" "I haven't had a day off since X!"
It gets under my skin like nothing else. It's like talking about how much you eat. We all eat. We all have to eat to survive. Why talk about how much you eat? We all work. We all have to work to survive. Stop talking about how much you work.
In fact, someone just recently was talking to me about how they work "soooo much" and the nicest thing I could come up with to say despite the rage flaming within me was, "Yeah. We all work hard."
Despite my feelings towards talking about how much one works, if I'm going to post about anything that remotely reflects what's going on in my life right now I can't avoid talking about work...because right now, that is my life. Fortunately, I love my work, and my work is ministry. And ministry is a nice thing to have consume your life.
Patrick's work continues to be interesting. Oh, he needs more work...in the fall...so keep your ears open.
When I'm NOT working, I'm apparently losing weight. (Size 6?!) Or maybe I just don't have time to eat...

Okay, I just had to delete my former comment. I told you about everything that is getting under my skin right now...and then I just had to erase it. It didn't sound like me. I could just imagine you saying, "Oh, Liz. It'll all be over soon." So, I took your advice.
What about saying how tired you are from working? Is that allowed? ...something like "work was exhausting today"
Yeah that's allowed. Just don't indicate the number of hours you worked. That's crossing the line.
