Stresspuppy-r-us

I'm pretty stressed at the moment.... juggling too many balls, and dropping some. All-day meetings today and tomorrow with the FAA (forgot details like calling in someone's visitor pass, and left someone off of the mailing list for directions). Traffic court this morning at 8am. A proposal due tomorrow, and I'm way behind and my co-I's are nagging me (understandably, I'm doing less than they are, so far). No one has gone to this week's drilling meetings and that project lead is mad at me and my student intern. My other employee has been out sick all week. James got his midterm report and is failing two classes, and is an emotional wreck. patgreene has no energy and suspects a thyroid problem... and so on. I haven't even started the preparations for Japan yet, 9 days is too far in the future :-|.

Bleah. I hate daze like that. Sorry, if I could spell over-commited I might have an interesting comment for you...

Have you actually thought about doing less, about saying no to new comittments that come along? This sounds like a crazy schedule, one that will inevitably mean that things get messed up, bith at work and at home.

Are you sure you have the work-life balance right? If not, what can you do to redress the balance?

(hands open) right now, it's hard... but at other times, there isn't quite enough to keep me busy.

Work is the only part of my life in which I get positive feedback, where I feel useful and valued, so there's a temptation to put more effort there...

and I thought our schedule was a crazy mess!
