Good luck!

As someone who has also been massively overwhelmed at work (and having to hear people whining about it incessantly), I can offer what I've learned. First, pace yourself. Second, prioritize. Third, do not forget that you are a) awesome and b) only human. There are only so many hours in the day and things you can do with the time you have. Don't get down on yourself, and when you come home, if you can, leave work at work. Do your work diligently when you're at work, then go home and take at least a little bit to relax and do something you enjoy.

If anyone is up for this challenge you are. You're ambitious, passionate, and hard-working. They'd be lucky to have you as curator!

Thanks Carol! I would like to think I would make a good supervisor. I'm afraid that I have established a reputation of being "too nice". Which isn't neccesarily bad, I'm just afraid that they think I can't be firm or aggressive enough to be a supervisor, even though I can if I need to be.

Anyways, it is hard to leave work at work when there is so much to do and only so many hours in the day. I have had a lot of "homework" recently and I have been exhausted (and very sick too, stupid IBS). But I finally got a decent nights sleep last night, so hopefully that will help.
