I “joke” all the time: Now that I’ve been laid off from work, I’ve never been busier. I can’t even say all the extra stuff crept up on me, per se, it’s been like the concept of punctuated equilibrium where there are sudden and dramatic new tasks/projects/responsibility falling in my lap all at once, things will maintain at that level for a bit, maybe looking at getting a break soon, then the next set of things comes at me.

So, yes, I’m exhausted. Fortunately some of this will be resolved soon, at least enough of it that I’ll actually have the time to brush up my skills, polish the resume, and get back out into the job market. Might need a vacation first, though.
