(no subject)

Well I've been meaning to post for weeks and just not got round to it - my bad. I decided I would post today, but all it will be is whining which will help no-one least of all myself so I shall be brief.

Work is crazy and I desperately need a break. We have finally got our new person - she starts on the 12th, but even when she does there's a limit to what I can shunt to her this early on as she will need a fair bit of training. My boss is... not helpful - she's stressed about an HR issue and I'm her primary sounding board for this, even though it doesn't directly involve me, so it's stress contagion. She's also shunted a fair bit of work my way on top of the stuff I'm already doing for her and the regular work that is my primary job is increasing as it always does this time of year. Plus she's just advised me of a deadline early next week that I knew nothing about and will require a fair amount of work to achieve... provided I can fit said work around other stuff - or more likely will have to ignore the other stuff till that's done then play catch-up with myself.

I've been going flat out for quite a while now and this week it's definitely starting to show - the anxiety's been edging in - today particularly - together with a stress headache I have right now.

I'm going to shut up now because dwelling on this doesn't help at all, and I'm just too tired for a proper rant or violence.

I want to write :(
