I think I missed my midlife crisis

Based on how my life is currently going, I've missed my halflife crisis, my three-fourths life crisis, and my four-fifths life crisis. At the rate my stress is increasing exponentially with respect to time, I'm going to probably be dead in about six months.

This are the increasingly stressful things I have to deal with:

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.

Fuck. My life sucks.
