Going downhill fast

I think these last two or three weeks have been the most stressful of my life, and my body is REALLY starting to take hits on this. I've felt like shit for the last two days, and there's like no end in sight whatsoever. My stress only starts to go down starting around August 7, when my French class ends. It's one more thing that I have done.

Yesterday I pulled a 9 AM to 5 PM shift and today is going to be far worse. I got here at 8:30 and started working, and I'll probably be here until 7 or 8 tonight at least. I set up and ran 25 samples this morning, I have 32 to run once I finish my LTC stuff here in 40 minutes, and then I have 50 more to run once I'm done with those 32. So fuck on that.

Then once I get done running all those lovely samples, these are the things I have left to do, for just today:

1. I have to bleach my U937s (that really doesn't take long)
2. I have to set up my spleen cells so that they don't all die
3. I have to ANALYZE DATA (this is the longest lasting thing to do)
4. I have to culture my spleen cells and set some up for staining on Saturday
5. I have some other cell thing to do...culture other cells?

Then once I finish that, I have to go access some biochemistry data. Fortunately, I only have like 6 pieces of data to access, so that will at most take me a half hour.

Tomorrow doesn't look terrible, for once at work. I only have to culture cells and thaw a breast cancer cell line. THAT'S IT. I have no staining, no analysis, no anything. I can finally take a bit of a break. Well, a tiny one, because I have a ton of biochemistry to do tomorrow. Whatever.

Suffice it to say though, the physical toll on me is extreme. Over the course of July, I've actually shrunk over an inch (I'm only 6 foot now, I was almost 6'2 in June), and I've lost almost 15 pounds (I weighed myself this morning, I am now at 150!). I constantly have a headache now, though I think it's caffeine withdrawl, and I am ALWAYS tired. Whatever. I need to go tackle the world of cells now.


Language Tech Center:
We still have NO director for the LTC. I don't think we even have applicants.
Our server system orientation thing is needing to be scheduled and coordinated with the language faculty and the tutors. I have it narrowed down to three dates, but right now, it looks like I'm going to be pissing someone off any way I choose it.
I'm still desperately trying to put the schedule together. I have three people left to hear from on their availability. Unless someone is able to add more hours, it looks like I'll be there between 10 and 15 hours a week.
Having to coordinate everything that I'm doing with my two higher ups.
Writing the LTC report.
Bioenergetics:
I am like two months behind on one of my lab notebooks. I'm a week behind on the other, and I have literally NO time to catch up on them.
It is looking increasingly likely that I'll be taking on a third project. More details to come on this thrilling development.
I'm supposed to start my breast cancer cell lines on Thursday. I still have two leukemia lines to finish in the next six days.
I have so much data to analyze it's not even funny.
Every attempt I have made at trying to do my work has been met with requests to help other people do theirs.
Biochemistry:
I submitted about 100 jobs yesterday and they'll all probably be done tomorrow. Then I have about 100 more calculations to do once I retrieve the data.
French:
All the homework for chapter five is due tomorrow and I've just gotten caught up to chapter four.
Money:
I got my school bill for this semester. It's like $3000 for 12 hours? Ridiculous. By the way, I'm currently only worth about $1100.
Driving:
I have to drive to Denver today. My driving this morning left me with chest pain, so tonight's drive will probably kill me.
Timing of things:
Between my experiments and my LTC stuff, I cannot take time off. Know how I was working this weekend and such? That was just so I could take four hours off this afternoon (which I didn't need to do, so I'm working anyways). I'm going to have to work about 15 hours this weekend so that I can take next weekend off (at least Saturday). Then during the week this coming week, I'm going to have to probably work an extra 5-10 hours to make up for the fact that I have to go to the cardiologist again on the 3rd.
