I Hate Being Overwhelmed
Posted on March 25, 2008 in the category
Probably nobody like that feeling of having twice as many things to do as they have time. That seems to be the story of my life and my job seems to be the worst offender. We have hired a temporary employee and between she and the other girl that is in my department, they are absent more than once a week. I would be able to stay caught up if I wasn’t always having to do someone else’s work.
I try to deal with, but sometimes I have a very hard time not being resentful. Even though nothing good can come from this emotion and zaps your energy, I have a hard time just blowing off the fact that I am overwhelmed mostly due to other people not coming to work. It appears as though I stand a good chance of being caught up tomorrow, provided nothing drastic happens and I am very excited about the concept.
I think better if I stay busy, but I become angry if I am overwhelmed. This only tends to happen when there are absences or when my boss offers our service when he shouldn’t. But once again, I having a feeling of optimism as I anticipate my “to do” list coming under control.

I am not alien to the feeling of being overwhelmed. Right now so many things are going on my life, so many changes, that I sleep late and wake up early! A to-do list helps a lot, because it put things in proper perspective, and gives you an idea of what to prioritize too.
wow, that describes me alot of the time, it is a continual feeling of being overwhelmed, like there is a constant buzz of the feeling that something needs to be done, but not actually doing anything productive, and the days go by too fast…. I’m thinking a good holiday might help…or not, might have a hard time enjoying it with worrying about what needs to be done
