. . . and what a week it has been

The first week of our new reality is over and what a week it has been.  Everyone is very stressed and very tired.  We're doing our "normal" work with 35% fewer people and the strain showed immediately.  I haven't worked so hard in a long time - I know I was spoiled a lot with enough staff to actually have time to do my other work - but I truly didn't realize how much!  I'm certainly getting exercise and "sweatin" to the oldies!! Now if I could only find time to do the other stuff I'm expected to do - feedbacks, schedules, meetings, minutes, etc. 

I only hope we can get some help - we simply can't keep up this pace without losing the staff to burn out and exhaustion.  *SIGH*
