The Wordle of the Day took me 5 tries as well...Oh, my friend, I have not had a good day.
Slept from 11pm to 1:30am, a deep sleep with intense vivid dreams including dreaming about vomiting which is not fun.
From 1:30 to 6am, drifted between wide awake wandering about the house and lying down in a very light dozy kind of state.
Fell asleep at 6, missed my alarm at 7, woke up at 8:30, skipped breakfast, rushed to work.
Then work has been killing me in a very specific and torturous way.
Anyone who spends 10 mins with me notices I'm completely snowed under but the bosses are just likecrack on. Had to call out to my manager today that if I'm assigned X days to work on something, I'm managing to complete maybe half a day per day at best because of everything else constantly going on.
My big piece of work I've been in charge of that was causing me stress before and after Christmas got finished last week. But then this week they've been making tweaks to it and everything is broken and it's my job to call that out and now I'm the blocker to it actually being delivered because all the stuff we were happy with last week is no longer working.
Got another piece of work I'm in charge of, been calling out issues with it for months, now we're coming up on a hard deadline and everyone is panicking about it. I'm supporting an inexperienced colleague in dealing with everybody on it.
Got another piece of work I'm in charge of, work's been done by another inexperienced colleague, I'm putting in loads of work reviewing and giving feedback and hand-holding through it.
Got a piece of work I'm not in charge of but have a load of work to do on it - desperately need a few days of peace and quiet to just churn through it but it's not feasible right now.
Got an urgent task today I had to drop everything for, had to speak to about a dozen different people to find an answer which took a good couple of hours out of my day, but that's largely in control now, just needs a little work doing on it tomorrow.
And a bunch of little but high priority tasks hitting our team regularly that not everyone's trained to deal with, so pitching in with that when I have to.
Had to give a half-hour presentation to 10 people about something I worked on a few weeks ago.
Got a trainee who is largely independent but needs regular check-ins and time for discussions to make sure he's getting benefit out of his training and so I can assess how he's doing and answer any questions etc.
Then on top of that multiple instances every day of emails, messages, phone calls, people stopping off at my desk, "Gossgoss can you take a look at this for me", "I've been pointed in your direction for information about this", "do you know how this works", "can you just give this a quick go for me".
I am exhausted. Skipped lunch too. Colleagues suggesting I eat at my desk if I have to but I really don't want to have to explain my mad eating-in-front-of-people anxiety.
Home now, had to send a task back to my boss with apologies because I haven't had chance to look at it. Feel bad about that but I have to have some sort of boundary don't I.
Feel headachy and nauseous, I think just from poor sleep and no food but not really tired right now and no appetite either.
Bleurghy all round really. Might need to find myself a footballer to marry so I can put my feet up for a bit.
I got wordle in 5 though @maccamacc. Imagine the action we'd all do if we saw baby in the wild.
Take it from me - who's probably the worst for giving advice on something she's guilty of more times than not, but - take a step back and distribute / delegate this insane workload, lovely. It won't benefit anyone if you buckle under the pressure and stress, and eventually might not know where to start anymore, because there are too many threads you need to keep up with at once.
I know it's easy to feel guilty for pushing work towards someone else, or plainly saying no - guilty as charged of that, too - but then again, if they want quality work, they should give you the necessary time and means to deliver. Like this, you'll be pulled any which way, and no job will be done to your proper satisfaction.
Also, please do keep considering that promotion, and not on the condition that you can keep up with this insane amount of different projects and side jobs - just because you deserve this promotion, and you can do it. You've proven it so many times already, and I'm certain many will agree with me here that you should just go for it and take that chance. I'm also certain you'd get the job.
I hope you're well, all in all.
