A big project lands on your desk on a Friday at 3 p.m., and the boss needs it done by Monday morning. Emails need responses before the weekend, and you have to leave in an hour to pick up the kids from practice.
You want to ask for help, but your co-workers’ calendars are as packed with color blocks as the Lego towers scattering your floor. You dream of a long vacation under the covers in a dark room, but you haven’t seen anyone take time off in you don’t know how long. Visions of ranching in West Texas creep into your periphery, and you just might do it.
You’re not alone.
