No Time for Fun: Life's Unfairness

Today is one of those days where I have so much to do, I just don't know where to start. I have a list.
Being a compulsive list maker has its share of advantages as well as disadvantages. Getting things done and crossing them off the list provides a nice feeling of accomplishment. Yet, when I don't finish everything on the list, it tends to drive me crazy. Not to mention the sheer length of my usual lists can be quite intimidating. So much infact, that most of the time I get discouraged and don't accomplish anything. Today I am faced with such a list. And these aren't things that I'd like to get done. They have to get done. Which makes it all the more intimdating. I'd better just get at it.
