This is the 5th time in the last 12 months I have told senior management that I need help with my workload. If I hear 'you need to learn to manage your time better' or 'it's like this in all agencies as well' or 'block time in your own calendar to complete work' one more fucking time I will shoot myself.

How is this my fault?! Being on 150% (conservatively speaking) long-term is not normal. Having to work weekends & public holidays is not normal. We are 2 planners holding up the agency... TWO!
