Consumned By My Job!!

I feel like I have been in the twilight zone the last couple of months. Its the Pure Line Twilight Zone. Like nothing else exists. The owner closed our corp office and moved everything to Warden except finanical stuff. So Kylee & I have been over loaded with 2 past secretaries work. I am now the foreign order shippier. Since I have taken over this responsiblity I have been responsible for shipments to Sri Lanka, Morrocco, China, Pakistan, Colombia, & New Zealand. The paperwork is overwhelming and so maticulous! (never thought I would use that word!) My whole life revolves around this work and I think about it 24/7. One of these days I will either relax & comprehend it or I will quit! I see a small pin light at the end of the tunnel but we have a new Chief operations manager who is driving us all nuts with his big company changes and who, in all of our opinions, doesn't know what he is doing! The good thing about it all is the owner likes me and trusts me and respects my opinion because, bsically, he doesn't want me to quit. Kylee has been a real trooper through it all and is my shoulder to cry on. Well, actually we cry on each others shoulders. I'm not sure, at almost 61 years old, I am wanting to take on such a huge task but there is one thing really keeping me here. The money and the benefits. The 2 ladies who were laid off from our Corp. office are my age and can't find a job anywhere. Both are single ladies with no other income. So I will count my blessings and gird up my loins, and stick it out until I, #1 get it, or #2 drop dead from exhaustion.
