I have been working like a maniac for nearly 4 weeks. I had to give up my vacation days between Christmas and NYE due to the workload and the fact that one teammate is part-time and the other is basically no-time lately (her Mom is dying of cancer).
I have worked nights, I have worked on weekends. I had one big thing finally launch on Monday and was ready to breathe again only, no, onto the next huge thing. I found out today that our Engineer is ready to do the work on Tuesday (normally they put us off for weeks and I am always ready and waiting for him). So, now I have to finalize all my plans for our Global newsletter by, oh, tomorrow. Why? Because I am going on vacation next week. My boss of course won't say we can't do it on their timeline - as they always do to us - he basically just tells me to get it done. By tomorrow.
I have an hour now, then get Jane, then put her to bed then work god-knows how long, do it all again tomorrow, and in the meantime pack for a week-long vacation and deal with my MIL invading as of 2PM tomorrow (flight is Sat, she jsut had to come early......)
So, yea, I want to cry. I want to hide under a rock and come out in March. I want to play with Jane when she tries to have a tea-party with me and not say the words "time for school" or "time for bed". BLAH. Working sucks sometimes.
/vent.
Re: I have so much work to do I want to cry, a vent.
I am about 3 hours late on this, but take a deep breath tonight and just focus on what you need to get done. The sooner its done, the sooner you can focus on your well deserved vacation.
Just chant "It's 70 in Florida" over and over in your head
