Busiest you have ever been in life
It could be easy to complain that I am so busy at work and in life but seeing how so many people are struggling and the economy still sucks in many parts of the US I will refrain.

However, for only one of the few times in my life I feel like I am chasing my tail and stressed out as to how busy both our company and I am trying to keep up with all the work. Paychecks are skyrocketing and many things in life are going great yet I feel lost as I can only tread water to keep up while working. Being a top sales person can do that to you.

I am an extremely organized and hard working individual and to feel so lost and out of control is not easy or comfortable for me.

So tell me, how do you handle being hit with a tidal wave of work that doesn't seem to have an end in sight and yet keep chipping away to reduce your to-do list to a manageable level? I thought after 30 years of this I was an old pro but I am not so sure anymore......

Congratulations Jason, that is a great thing when you own your business!

Right now I am stressed and stretched more than ever in my life.

Dad is 720 miles away at end of life with stage 4 of congestive heart failure. The complications and issues with not being there are immense and I have traveled down there four times in the last two months. He has been under Hospice care since February.

We have our house here listed for sale in the one of the highest foreclosure areas in the country. As soon as we finally get it sold, we can retire to the place in Missouri I have been working on for three years .

I have been training my replacements at work for a few months now.

I can't wait for all of this to be settled and be able to find the Chiefs a priority again.

I agree with this. I don't think anyone has ever spent their last moments thinking "gee, I wish I would've spent more time at the office".

I have a feeling it'll be this summer.

6 day, 12 hour work weeks starting at 3am. Probably be pretty overwhelming.

Man I feel like that everyday. I went from a lead to a foreman and everything has changed. I have 21 people I have to supervise, 21 different persoanlaities, 21 different problems. Being a lead I could speak my mind to other employees, now I can't. I have to be this completely different guy everyday, it's a real struggle sometimes.

My job is non stop from pre job inspections, ordering parts, making sure daily tasks are completed, going job to job helping crews that run into problems, etc etc etc. There's so much more to it, such as when multiple crew members call in sick or having personal issues. It's a complicated job.

I'm now building tiered waterfalls, koi ponds, real stone patios and all kinds of other nice things for very wealthy people and it feels great... out in the sun, working like a dog, lifting heavy things by hand, using backhoes, John Deere tractors, front end loaders etc.

I've got muscles popping out of my forearms and hands that I didn't even know existed and that includes all kinds of Army Combat Engineer work and serious, studied weightlifting programs... I come home at the end of most days dog tired and it feels GREAT.

Shower, eat a good dinner and its a fluke if my eyes stay open past 10pm... getting a damn good tan too, redneck and proud of it.

I'm still a noob at much of this but I'd love to see it and could show it to people with 30+ years experience.

Truly sorry to hear about your dad, Ed. You haven't been posting much, I wondered if something was going on.

I think he bought himself a place at Lake of the Ozarks. Beautiful country there, would be a nice place to retire.
