Breaking Point
I may at present be as close to a nervous breakdown as I have ever been in my life.

All I post about is work, because all I do is work. And yet I have been, for the past month and a half, apartment hunting, as well. Because I don't have time to do both, I have been cutting back on sleep.

I am behind at work. Attorneys are calling to rush jobs they didn't book as rush jobs. I worked till 7:00 last night. Today had an all-day deposition, with no lunch break, that the attorney wants e-mailed to him on Monday. I will relive this all-day job twice or more this weekend. Monday I will be in the office trying frantically to get this job to him on time. Tuesday I have an out-of-town job. Wednesday I have an out-of-town job that the attorney wants done overnight, no kidding. Thursday I have an out-of-town job. Friday I have an out-of-town job booked as a rush. Between driving and reporting, I don't know when I'll get to the work I have piling up on my desk at the office.

It's 6:15 on Friday. I'm at the office. I'm too crazy and stressed to get anything done, but I can't go home, because there is too much work to do. I don't have time to go to the store, and I'm about to run out of essentials like toilet paper.

And I can't think of anyone to call.

I would call you now, but it's 11:00 and I hope to god you're asleep.

I will do anything I can for you. Tell me.

I know you would. I appreciate your concern. It helps a lot just to let others know, as silly as that seems. I'm sorry if I scared you by being overdramatic.

It doesn't seem all that silly. I just wanted to remind you. If you need me, please let me know. I cannot stand the thought of you crying.

Call in sick for a day or three! Tell these bastards that they need to ORDER as rush jobs, not just ask for them! Drop everything, move up here and in with me, and become a professional slacker!

I'm sorry your life is going so crappy. I can't help, but I can listen.

Listening helps a lot, actually. Sometimes it's hard for males to get that, so thanks. And it also helps, for reasons beyond my understanding, to hear those who don't know my tormentors abuse them and call them "bastards."

I must decline the kind offer to move in, as I've just signed a lease on a new apartment. Let's hope I find enough time in my schedule actually to move.
