I sit on three different committees as part of my job. One of them generally only meets once a month for only 5-6 consecutive months. The other two roughly quarterly.
Somehow *all three* got scheduled this same week which has heavily mucked up my already busy workload, compounded by one large print job I initially hoped would only need 7–8 hours to complete but is turning out to knock out ALL of yesterday and apparently more than half of today.

The bad news was, they did it again, even worse. Instead of end of day Wednesday, program booklets for the Spanish version of our annual convocation this weekend arrived at 10 AM Thursday.
More bad news was that I had to be out of the office a little more than 2 hours across lunch for appointments.
The good news was the Spanish booklets were 12 pages instead of 16—25% fewer pages which roughly meant 25% less run time in the copier.
Yes. Got them done.

Scotty had a firm mantra for telling Captain Kirk how long it would take for engineering to complete a task.
I have failed at following his advice, and I now find myself being asked to print an enormous job tomorrow instead of several days lead time—and it is needed for distribution Friday.
Yes, I can do it, but it cuts into the schedule I was trying to maintain for other preparations of this big annual event. And leaves zero wiggle room if copier goes down.

Keeping track of things in Excel can sometimes be weird, but hey, if it works for you, then I call it a success.
