In news about me, is there any good way to say to one's boss, "You know, I can only focus on so many things at one time!!" I think the real problem right now is that the number of things I can focus on is approaching zero, but still.
Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Delicious grilled panini sandwich for lunch. Yummers.
I have been informed this morning by sundry strangers that I am a) working that corset b) rocking that corset c) sexy. Which probably means I'm not appropriately dressed for work. Ooops.

I used to have this issue a lot when I started my last job. I had to keep sitting my boss at the time down and have him prioritize tasks for me. And, to some extent, I just had to get used to those priorities changing on a dime and having to do many different things at once.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shit. I forgot all about project donkey.

It's fucking project donkey that's killing me.
The problem is, I actually know the priorities, and they are all #1!! Whatever.
