Panic Attack

I just got back into the office after a 3-day training course.

My mailbox is chock-full. Everything is marked ‘unread’ (red colour). I’ve exceeded my mail storage limit.

Then the phone begins to ring non-stop.

Hi, you’re back! Did you read my email about …
What is your opinion on…
What’s the status for ….

I am making an action item list. For each project, I use a blank sheet of paper and write down all the things I have to do. Then I pin that list to the wall of my slave pit cubicle. There are 7 lists all together blanketing the wall.

I book a meeting called ‘Project Review’ with myself as the only attendee on my calendar. This is to block others from inviting me to their meetings, thus allowing myself some time to get up to speed.

6 more months to the end of the year. After that I’m getting a job with less responsibilities.
