week from hell

i'm 4 months pregnant and too stressed out at work.

this week has just been way too much for me! i've got staffing problems, to say the least. i thought things were going so well-- i found the perfect woman to take the nursing position... and i just got off the phone with her and i fear she won't accept the job. i'm in a time crunch. i have another nurse who i might have to can. i've got people unhappy and burnt out, and i'm overwhelmed and tired.

the last time i was pregnant, i was in a boring do-nothing job. i did busy-work and was completely unsatisfied, unmotivated, and so terribly bored... but i didn't take anything home with me, i didn't wake up in the middle of the night stressing... i'm not sure which situation is "easier" to be in.

i love my job. i really do. but i think i need a vacation.
