enough

Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ!

I have reached the point at work at which I absolutely, positively CANNOT fit one more thing to keep track of into my day (or my head) anywhere. In fact, I can't even make a coherent list of all the things I'm supposed to be keeping track of.

I almost just burst into tears in a staff meeting.

I could go home now because I got here at 7:10 this morning, but there are too many things I Must Get Done Today, Because We Asked You To, That's Why.

*whimper*

Could you politely suggest to your boss that someone else do the catering orders for the events?

You might also be able to make a list of what order the packets should be assembled in and have someone else do the actual assembly? That goes ditto for the other packets.

And you might want to ask your boss to get a part time temp for a week or two, just to do the things that you CAN hand off, like paperwork assembly or running things to different hospitals.

I'm sorry this is being difficult and crushing you. I wish I could help. Best I can do is to offer to get together and listen so you can vent or make dinner for you or something. I have more Muppets episodes too if that helps???

Unfortunately I'm it for the criteria events because I seem to have a higher workload threshold than the other people who could do things with them. I've just hit my limit, though. The aforementioned 10 committee meetings are all happening between next Friday and mid-March.

The translation here is that you're not yet willing to seriously push back on this - despite the fact that if you're struggling with tears at work, you've probably passed that threshold some time back. Whuff has some good suggestions. I hope you take her up on them.
