For the Love of All That Is Holy

I am trying to get it all done, okay? Today is about taking care of all the stuff that hasn't been dealt with in the past few days yet must be this week.

And yet, the deadlines they are creeping up on me. I'm about to miss a big one. And there is nothing I can do about it. My schedule just won't allow for me meeting this thing. I forgot about it for a couple of days and by the time I remembered (last night around 8pm), there wasn't anything I could do.

I'm going to try to get as much of it dealt with as possible this morning, though, before yet another final. At least this one is all performance-based. As of 2:30pm yesterday, no one is allowed to give me any more stuff to grade. So the piles should start getting smaller at some point.


**UPDATED** 1:19pm

The deadline came and went. I sent a frantic note this morning and got a reply with a useful option. It took a little over an hour to do the stuff I needed to. And in the meantime, I watched a set of final performances and had a nice chat with a student who had some useful questions.

I should get the rest of the finishing touches put on my project and then maybe eat something other than crackers. My head hurts and I expect it's related to the whole not eating because I'm busy doing shit thing.

And then maybe, what the hell, I'll do some grading. Just for a change of pace.

See? You got it all done. Because you're amazing. Like we all didn't know it. You manage to go totally crazy, cram in a ridiculous schedule AND be totally supportive. I love you very much. Sorry life is kicking your ass right now (or at least trying to) but you'll come out on top, I promis. Now then, make your mom send me some potato pancakes.
