The overtime is totally by choice- I don't have to do it, but while it's here, much as I hate it, I'm using it to my advantage. The night schedule is mine by choice too (low stupidity, four day weekends and a shift differential)

Rumor has it they just hired six new people primarily to deal with the email crap, so hopefully in a week or two that weight will be greatly reduced. in the meantime, they're just pushing us to crank them out- that's the thign that really sucks at the moment, and it's not really stressful, it's soul-suckingly boring, which is rather horrorific in its own special way :-P

Once Thursday night rolls around, I don't go back to work til Tuesday (taking an extra day on my weekend this coming week) so that will be nice.

Give me ten minutes and I'm sure something will change, but for the moment, all I really need is some time to disappear into my brain.

Hope you feel better soon and get some sleep!
