Where's the pause button?
I need to pause my life. Not for long. A day or two would be good. Hell, I'd settle for a few hours. I just need to catch my breath. I'm overwhelmed at work right now and I'd like a little break. I'm so far underwater, my snorkel needs an extension tube.
The bad thing about being this behind is that you get to a point where you stop trying to catch up. If I was just a little behind, I'd be working through lunch and putting in an extra hour or two (like I did last night at home) in order to catch up. Right now, I'm thinking about going home early. Sure, I'll probably log in and work on some stuff from home later, but I can't bring myself to put in extra time. It just won't matter enough to make the expenditure of the effort worthwhile.
I suppose part of this feeling could be lack of sleep. I stayed up too late last night mainly because I needed some time to unwind. Then I had trouble falling asleep and was woken up at least twice during the night because of the @#$#%)( dogs. If I can get a decent night's sleep tonight, maybe I'll feel more like taking on this mountain of stuff tomorrow.
