Poor Ariane. She's working like a dog. She gets up at around 5-5:30am, gets ready, and is usually out the door by 6:30 or so. She goes to work all day and doesn't come home until around 6pm. Of course, by that time she is usually completely drained of energy and is incredibly ready for the weekend. That's usually by Monday. By Friday, she is very unhappy.
They are just working her like crazy because it's that time of year where everything just has to get done. "No, it would be too easy to hire enough people to handle the work load" -- idiots. Then they act like if they just push everyone more and more to work harder and harder, everything will be better. Unfortunately, it's more that they just push and push until people quit (or are mercilessly laid off!).
She is very sweet though: if you don't have dinner ready, she doesn't complain. If you haven't prepared anything at all, she doesn't complain. If you prepared things but need her to cook it, she doesn't complain. And if you make dinner, she's incredibly grateful! She's consistently sweet no matter how she feels. That's something that she's got that I definitely could work on -- but you know, then we would both be the same and that's no fun!
Yesterday I reserved us a room in a nice hotel downtown for a weekend night. Her dad actually gave us gift certificates to the place on Christmas and we still haven't used them. But we're gonna do it this weekend! It should be a very nice room and a kind of swanky hotel, so it should be nice just to get away. If anyone needs and deserves it, it's her!
