Maxed out

After a victorious week in the exercise kingdom, I felt awesome for about a week and pushed myself to new limits. After a week of pushing my limits, I felt tired, drained, and on the verge of maxing out my capacity, so I took it easy for a week. That week was full of lighter running, lighter on the weights and TRX exercises, and I felt good to go again this week.

In work related news: We have a PC in my office that has been maxed out for at least a year. We let assistants use this computer for small tasks because that's all it's able to do anymore. It should have been replaced, but we don't have any money to replace it, and there are bigger issues and budgetary issues to contend with. So, we keep working that poor PC. I know one day, it's just going to quit working. The PC is slow, frustrated; sometimes it doesn't save files or allow us to log in. It's sad. There is no way to give that computer a rest. It just needs to be replaced as soon as possible.

Unfortunately I think I'm at capacity at my job as well, but I can't really stop and I can't really afford a nice, relaxing vacation. I'm starting to make mistakes. A woman came into my office a few weeks ago saying she had contacted me about an event she wanted to hold, and I didn't remember seeing her before. This was a small mistake. Today, I realized a serious double-booking - one I don't know if I'll be able to fix. I know it's not the end of the world, but I really want to be able to start fresh and don't know how. At this point, I just want to quit. But, I can't and won't because they repercussions of that would be far worse than the time off to reevaluate, refresh, renew and start again.

I'm searching postings like a mad woman again and submitting my resume, but nothing is popping yet. I haven't had a job interview in two months. I'm not sure how long I can keep working like this before my dissatisfaction starts maxing out other areas of my life as well.

How do I start new and fresh? How can I rejuvenate?

Frustrated.
