Half Day

Today I had to go into the office early. I didn't do my first requirement until after 2pm. So I had like a half day vacation for requirements. And since I've been doing a little more than I've needed to daily, I decided to only do about half of my requirements for the day. On the one hand it was kind of nice to have a break. But I don't have the type of personality that can enjoy it stress-free. It stresses me out to have things I know I need to do hanging over my head. Sometimes I wish I wasn't like that. That I could just sit back and relax and forget about it. But, because I'm like that, I accomplish a lot more than I would otherwise. And it makes me happy when I accomplish something. So, its just who I am.
