When Work Is Simply Overwhelming - The Going Gets Tuff, and the Tuff goes ...

Complete the sentence above.

Multiple Choice.
(a) Crazy...(like making a monster costume to make a fool of oneself in front of the whole company and their partners, customers etc...)
(b) Unpredictable...(by doing things simply unbelievable and unpredictable, like, laughing out loud and singing irritating songs)
(c) Silly...(by talking to myself)
(d) Lost...(in the tuff world.)
(e) All of the above

If you chose (e), you're probably right. I (yeah, I'm the "tuff"), am capable of doing the above things.

It's kind of driving you nuts because there's numerous deadlines, schedules to meet, queries to answer to. The wierd thing is that, the more calls I get (from Sales, Mechanics, or Composite Shop or QA or Leadmen....Erm, obviously they want something from me, and they want it FAST)...The worse I become. So much so I can be lost, since my "to-do" list is SOOOOO long I don't know where to start. All are Priority No. 1 for their various reason. Somehow, I freak out and have the following reactions.

(a) I do the exact thing I hate/fear - like, wasting time. And I get really spontaneous. Very unlike me, who likes to plan a lot. Indeed I'm getting crazy.
(b) I laugh out loud, sing songs and make comments that irritates people from my cubicle (and sometimes beyond). I get nervy, which makes others nervy too. I burst out laughing...which makes people wonder about me...Perhaps I'm really getting unpredictable.
(c) "This patch is to have overlap of minimum 1.0 inch, the curing must be autoclave...the repair area is of high loading so i need to reinforce with fasteners...I should use rivets...Damn the calculations that make my head spinss...." - see, I talk to myself. Silly me.
(d) I get lost in my own world, starting to dream... about going home to watch animes or movies...
(e) Indeed, the fact that I'm spending time to even write this absurd post. Indeed, I'm going bonkers.
