Make It All Stop Now, Please?

I’m somewhere in between wanting to curl up in the fetal position or go on a booze-fueled mailbox baseball spree. The stress, it is mighty indeed. Last night I freaked out because I had a major screw-up on my taxes. Thankfully I didn’t send it in, but now I have to fix it. I know for sure that I won’t be home at all today before 10 PM tonight as my team and I are diligently working through our redesign, which will end at 8 tonight (then I’m counting another two hours for tax help). Added to the fact that I’m in meetings almost all day every day (and they are actually good meetings with agendas that need to get worked through), and I’ve about reached my limit.

And there is just all this stuff that needs to get done. I have to get a new driver’s license because my birthday is next week, for example. I have no idea when I’m going to fit that in. The Chief and I want to switch banks and phone services. Golden Boy pages need to be sent in to Markosia.

I can tell I’m stressed because I’m thinking of all these other projects I could start as well. It seems this is the best time for me to come up with ideas… I’ve had four or five that I’m writing down for future exploration.

I’m your man… Just give me a call. I got some addresses.

I have never played mailbox baseball. How does it work, do you use mailboxes instead of bats? I’m confused…

For what it’s worth, I renewed my license in record time at the new DMV on 84th and Cass. It’s their new “Express Station,” whatever that means. Anyhow, I was in and out in 15 minutes, no joke. I’m not 100% sure on their hours, but here’s their number: 595-2038.

Try to remember to at least take some time to unwind. Drink some scotch, smoke a cigar, and relax for bit. You don’t have to do everything at once. I’m sure you’ll sort it all out, you always do, but good luck to you anyway.

Mailbox Baseball is similar with Frisbee Golf. You don’t use frisbees to hit a golf ball, and you don’t use mailboxes to hit a baseball.

Or my sarcasm meter is extremely low today.

Try to remember to at least take some time to unwind. Drink some scotch, smoke a cigar, and relax for bit. You don’t have to do everything at once.

That is kind of the problem; I do need to get everything done at once. No time to rest. No time for much of anything but work.

I can handle many major issues at a time if their deadlines are spread out. I don’t have that luxury in this instance. Any other time it would just be business as usual. :)
