Wear a low cut shirt and delegate your tasks to others. :D

wearing a low cut shirt is a mistake. it ensures that all the guys find a reason to hang out in the office with me and distract me

the only advice I can offer is be upfront with your boss if a deadline can't be met. Some people like the high pressure, others don't. so be upfront if you don't. Putting a lot of stuff on you is usually a test for higher positions. But you really need to communicate to your boss either way.
My other answer:
Let Jarosh and I help you relax :)spoiler (click to show/hide)Or just let me have Jarosh for a few hours to take him off your hands while you have a hot bath[close]
Don't you work at an Apple store?yes but i have an office job & i'm involved with corporate
Hi cloud! Nice to see you again!
My ability to hold down a job is very limited (I walked out of a professional job on a lunch break and when they called to see where I was I pretended my brother had a terminal disease and I took a flight 1000 miles back home to NJ (But I digress!!) - BUT, I know there are tons of people that thrive in that environment. A friend of mine works overtime every night but doesn't mind it because she finds meaning in what she produces. I think that's mostly true of 'creative' jobs - or at least work that allows some personal leverage even on projects that might otherwise be completely rote and objective.
I don't have a high-stress job. But nobody should have to hate their day job - if you're working over your meter, then lax it up or let management know that the resources don't match the output. If they get pissy for that, and don't allow any leeway, then at least your conscience is cleared. If you don't find the work fulfilling enough to work overtime (which is a lofty goal, anyway) you don't have to suffer.
Talk it up with your "superiors" - those fucks do nothing anyway.
The amount of things that I do for this company is absolutely ridiculous. I make myself available more than any other tech, and I'm constantly being called in on weekends and in the middle of the night to come on-site and fix something. I've been told time and time again that I'm one of the most reliable techs on the team.
After a while, I just stopped caring about the job as much. I come in later, leave earlier... My boss is in Mexico, so it's not like it really matters... I do the work that I am assigned. I get it all done. I do other peoples' work. I walk people through how to do what they should already know how to do. But I get boned on pay.
I guess what I'm saying is hang in there.
Sounds like you really need to have a sit down with your boss and talk to him about what your priorities should be and tell him it's flat out illogical to think you can accomplish everything for everyone. Maybe he'll get you someone to assist you or reallocate some of your work. Maybe he'll be a dick. But it's a conversation that needs to happen.the only advice I can offer is be upfront with your boss if a deadline can't be met. Some people like the high pressure, others don't. so be upfront if you don't. Putting a lot of stuff on you is usually a test for higher positions. But you really need to communicate to your boss either way.

my boss asks me every day "when can you have (insert task here) finished?" and i always give him my best estimate, but it's getting harder and harder to get shit done. i am basically the middleman between the normal workers and the managers and the higher ups in the payroll dept. in corporate. so a lot of the time the specialists come to me with a big problem, like they got paid wrong, and i have to figure out why. i just had this situation the past week and i swear it took up 30% of my time.
i'd let you take jarosh off my hands ;) but i barely see him lately, hah. :'( i don't get home until after 7:00 usually. and by then i am so tired and so fed up with work that i don't feel like doing ANYTHING
Don't you work at an Apple store?yes but i have an office job & i'm involved with corporate
basically i work at a flagship and i am "officially" responsible for the following:
- creating the monthly schedule for 50+ people
- creating the daily schedule for whoever works on that day
- everything involving payroll (making sure people get paid on time, making sure their shit is correct)
- correcting and checking the timecards of every employee in german-speaking switzerland
this is my situation too, i think i have to get better at saying NO to people, do it yourself.
You're a HR rep, cloud? For that "flaghsip store" I mean. We call them "old hags" in my company :-*
What do you call a Polish joke?
A joke that makes no fucking sense.
