The phone stops ringing...

So, one day, your phone rings off the hook...literally. You have 15 people who need 15 different things from you at the same time, which is now. You don't eat, you don't pee, and you certainly don't sleep well. You go in early; you leave late. It's not good.

Then, something happens. You make the call. You proclaim, I will not do this any longer, and lo and behold, the phone stops ringing. You're no longer plagued by the constant nightmare in which you're being chased by a large pile of work and it gets closer and you think it will eventually consume you. You go to work late; you leave early. And you sleep. The blessed sleep of babes. It's amazing.

Now, it won't last forever, and you certainly don't delude yourself into thinking it will. But for now, it is the best feeling in the world.
