Life lately

Been so swamped lately! The past few minutes have been a total blur, honestly. Task after task just keeps piling up, and I'm trying to keep up but it's like trying to drink from a firehose. Reports to finish, emails to answer, and meetings to attend... it's been a whirlwind! Barely had time to breathe, but gotta push through, right? Need to prioritize, focus on what's urgent, and somehow magically make time for the other stuff too.
It's totally okay, though! I've been learning so much and gaining experiences left and right. It's like, the more tasks I get, the more I know I'm trusted to handle them ??. My chief and officers clearly believe in me, and that's what keeps me going. It's not about being busy; it's about growing and proving to myself what I'm capable of. Bring it on, right?

Hey! It has been a while since you were last on myLot. It's good to see you again. 
Well, yes, and no... Look around at what the other people around you are doing. Do they seem to be in a big rush all the time? If not, then you're doing better than you think and your bosses may be trying to take advantage of you.
Bringing you "up to speed" and "taking advantage" are two entirely different things. It took years for me to figure out that if the person at the next desk wasn't doing their share, my bosses would ask me to "help the person out" or "be a good sport and catch up these reports somebody else didn't have time to do". Eventually, I learned to slow down and pace myself so I was only doing my share of the work and not everybody else's share, too.

All of my colleagues have their own tasks. But it's different for me because some division chiefs ask for my help. It may be overwhelming and tiring, but after I accomplished everything, I felt so proud of myself for accomplishing them all. And because of that, our boss granted me a 15-day leave with pay.

@DaddyEvil thank you, my boss said it was a well-deserved vacation for me, for my hard work. I may be super busy with my work (work overload and all), but being able to appreciated by my boss makes every tiring task feels so worth it.
Cant wait to see my parents next week.

You must be quite important to have so much responsibility
