Default Last 2 weeks has been CRAZY!!!

Any of my fellow pastry people out there ready to change careers? I just spent the most miserable 2 weeks working a minimum of 16 hours for 20 days straight. I have the flu, finally had to go to the doctor today. I am so happy to be home today before 4:00 pm and actually see daylight. Sorry ---I''m just ranting.
I know I'm not the only one. So to anyone else going thru **** ---hang in there, it's almost over.

I've actually had a very relaxed two weeks, and now I have two months off. I actually did the same amount of parties as last year, with more varied stuff, but I think I must be learning how to plan better. What's stressing me out is a party we're having for the Solstice this Friday, and here I sit. Got my bread for my crostinis ready. How far will that take me?

Dear Angrychef,

I'm happy that you got out of work today to enjoy a moment of sun. This is yet another example of what we discuss all year long about what it means to sacrifice.

I hope you get some good rest

Bummer........ Dana. Hope you get some rest!

I know it's not something we do but.....your entitled to a sick day when you are. I never took them either but if people knew how sick you are and your handling their food... they'd want you at home too.

It's o.k. to need help when your sick. They'll figure something out.

P.S. Rest.

Thanks everyone for your kind words.

I am off tomorrow---going to have a nice dinner with my wonderful husband(who has been soooo sweet and caring rubbing my back and feet every night and doing the laundry and errands) and then I'm sleeping in!
