NPR: I'm maxed out- need to vent

femmegem

We have a huge, huge product launch in a couple of months and as a result we have aggressive, crazy deadlines. I've been working at full capacity all week (and Monday DS was home sick, so I was working and watching him) and I'm just done. I'm exhausted even though I've been getting at least 8 hours of sleep every night. My brain isn't working properly any more. Nothing I'm working on is turning out the right way today because I'm not thinking.

I'm just so tired and frustrated and I know I can't afford to be off my game today because I have SO MUCH WORK TO DO.

I just had to get that out. *sigh* Thank GOD Monday is a holiday. I need it.

take a deep breath, go outside and stop at the nearest bar for a quick shot. Then eat some ice cream and get back to work.

LOL. A shot and some ice cream would probably help!

Sorry you're having a rough time

Are you going to be able to take some time off when the project is done?

I like M's advice. (((hugs))) Try not to get overwhelmed.

I think it's time for a drink.  I'll buy.  It's a worthy cause.  Hang in there- at least you don't have squirrels in your attic! lol

*hugs*

I'm trying to work from home today with my two kids here!  I'm trying unsuccessfully!  Working from home with a kid home sucks.  I'm sorry you are stressed.

Sounds like a great time to go out to lunch or go get a coffee.  Take 20-30 minutes to yourself just to relax.  You'll feel much better when you get back to work.
