i am SO overwhelmed right at this moment that i can't concentrate!!!!!! i have taken on SO many work assignments that i don't know where to start!!!! my house is a mess, i just got a two month gas bill that's THREE times the normal amount because i forgot to pay it.

a creditor just called me, FORGOT to pay that one too!!!!!! no one is here today except me ( president's day) because i have SO much work!!! it took me two hours just to sort through it all and set up apointments. MERCIFULLY my bank clients are closed today, but NOT the mortgage companies. they keep calling and calling and calling wanting STATUS on everything.

even though i have told them ALL in the beginning of accepting the assignments that it would take me X number of days to complete them and that DAY has not yet arrived, but they STILL call!!!!!!!! i have gotten to the point that i'm saying..."the STATUS is that it is on my desk INCOMPLETE and like i told you IN THE BEGINNING it will be done by such and such a date. "" OR , the status is i CAN'T concentrate enough to complete any work because of answering NUMEROUS phone calls about work NOT yet promised!!!!!!!".

i don't know how to be any more straight forward or honest with them and YET THEY STILL KEEP CALLING!!!!!!!! i know i am slower than in the past, and MAYBE i had them all spoiled with my speedy work, BUT, in comparison to my "non stroke" co-workers i STILL complete my assignments before they do!!!! i am at a loss for how to combat this problem.

they always apologize, but STILL harrass me to death. i have even taken to STRESSING to them upfront that i can no longer offer them same day next day service, explain WHY, and offer them a chance to find another appraiser. they ALWAYS decline. this is probably because they KNOW that i'm STILL faster and more accurate than most.

i'm just annoyed that i can't seem to keep up like i used to do. every time the phone rings, it takes me FIFTEEN minutes to re-gather my thoughts!!!!! i wonder if this will EVER end.
