Traversing Easy Street

Things at work were pretty hectic. There were several shipments of machine aluminum that came today and needed to be unpacked on short notice. I sort of welcomed the chaos. It really helped keep my mind off of the recent conversation I had with my girlfriend. She told me she hasn’t really been too happy with how things are going in our relationship lately. I just listened. I was obviously really disappointed to hear that she felt that way. I had no idea. She told me all of this the other night. I’ve been so busy with work and I thought she understood that the reason I’ve been working so many hours lately is so that I could be able to afford to do nice things for her and with her. I can’t really cut back my hours at work now and I don’t really want to either. I was explaining this to her and she took it really personally. I don’t know what we’re going to do now. We haven’t really had a serious discussion like this for a long while. It has me scared that I might lose her. I tried calling her a few times since sitting down to write this and she’s not picking up her phone. If I do manage to get a hold of her tonight, I hope this conversation goes better!
