I hope this isn’t too doomer. I have about a dozen people helping me do one-on-one’s and social map, which I think is unusual this early in. We’re all way overworked and everyone’s frustrated. There’s a certain amount that I can collectivize that frustration and express solidarity. I’m also trying to remind people to not run themselves into the ground and that this is a marathon not a sprint.

All that said, I’m still playing a leadership roll and need to put on a happy face as much as possible. I can’t tell everyone I’m straight up going crazy and feeling like quitting. A few more weeks and more people can help unload more of the work. I can manage feeling like quitting for a couple weeks and the feeling should pass so I can continue on without burning out.

I appreciate everyone here letting me scream into the void a bit
