let me 'splain

No, wait, there is too much. Let me sum up:

I AM REALLY REALLY BUSY.

I'm busy.

I'm BUUUUUSY.

Busy.

BUSY.

I am taking two courses. I am doing two large websites in Drupal, by myself, and both are due in a month. I have to read and summarize an essay by Heidegger by Friday, and put up several e-learning modules for my third job.

And I'm trying to help out with the NDP campaign.

I am getting short-tempered. I am not being A Good Communicator, because I'm busy and people should just understand that I am great and I know what I am doing and leave me alone to do it and DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS, THEY WILL ONLY SLOW ME DOWN.

Yes, I realize that this is not a realistic outlook, but I found myself snapping at clients and fellow volunteers today and I realized that this is Not Good. I spent the weekend not working*, in a vain attempt to relax and chill out and restore equilibrium but it turns out that this was a grave miscalculation and I should have been WORKING MY ASS OFF instead.

You can tell by the number of times I've broken into all caps that I'm a little stressed out.

I mean, I'm usually a little stressed out, but this time it's kind of getting to me. I'll be fine once things settle down - there will be an election, and I will finish the websites because if there's one thing I'm good at, it's websites, and I will summarize Heidegger even though he is an obtuse German with a love of long sentences with lots of Capitalized letters in Them that are extremely Meaningful and Analytical, and I will be just fine. Or if I'm not fine, then I will have very understanding clients and co-workers, and life will go on, and Heidegger can bite me.

But I'm stressed out.

That's it, really. Ok. G'nite.

* By "not working" I mean producing several ads and fiddling with a website I volunteer to run and spending two hours staffing a booth at the Autumn Pow Wow for work and spending eight hours debugging a problem in the Panels module and adding several Drupal views to my work website, and also reading two novels at an average of four hours each. I AM SUCH A SLACKER.

OMG, this is my life right now too. I find myself getting EXTREMELY impatient the second anyone tries to talk to me. Don't they realize I have to get this eyetracking data analyzed, and I have 3 papers and a grant application to write by Monday, which is the day I have to hand in my masters?! arg :D
