I really don't think I can finish everything that's on my plate by Friday. I'm not sure I can even finish half of what's left.
When this schedule was drawn up, we didn't know how much work it involved. Several large pieces were later added. Sadly, despite this fact I will feel like a failure if I don't finish it all. I fear that people will remember that I didn't finish, while forgetting all the extras that weren't in the original list.
Lesson: As soon as I see extra stuff, I should insist on reworking the schedule. What's written down matters. Even if my boss doesn't have a selective memory, *I* will feel better when I'm less nervous about what's on paper.
