You Know You’re Working Too Hard When…


I’m a hard worker. So is my husband Ken. We wear many hats in our company – and never one at a time. Sometimes I can’t help but laugh at some of the things I have to do, deal with or endure in my day to day. I often feel like I have a Rodney Dangerfield-like comic sitting on my shoulder pointing out these aspects of daily life like a comedy bit – “You Know You’re Working Too Hard When…”. It must be my subconscious’ way of dealing with the stress involved in running a new growing company. So like my Multi-Tasking Secrets, I’m going to throw jokes out there every now and again.

So, for my first entry:

You know you’re working too hard when… You live in the same town that you grew up in. Your sister lives in town too. You have 3 kids in school in town. They participate in a bazillion different sports (of which your husband coaches several) and your youngest is enrolled in the local dance studio, etc., etc. You then take these 3 kids to lunch at the local hot-spot diner and the only person you or your kids recognize in the whole place is the UPS delivery man! Ba dum dum.

But seriously folks….
