Test of character

I usually really enjoy the work I do.  But the past week I have felt overwhelmed and like I will never get caught up or ever be on top of things again.

I feel like we are planning a party for 230,000 people.  Some are RSVP'ing, but some won't tell me they are coming until the day of the party.  Some have told me they want chicken, but when they get to the party, they'll actually want fish.  Some will have told me they want chicken, and I can prove they requested chicken, but will show up to the party demanding fish.  Some people will have a cocktail, but I am not able to track how many cocktails each person will have, so I just have to make a spreadsheet and hope that I find a way to accurately track people who drink.  Then after the party, the host will ask me to give them a detailed report, broken down by gender, of who used which toilet and who used a fork vs. a spoon.

I feel like I have a really fun, really energetic co-workers but they don't remember specific things I've trained them on and they don't quite understand the importance of not serving peanut butter to a person with peanut allergies.

I told Mike that I think my character is being tested and that I don't think I'm handling it very well!!!!
