Answering work emails from last September, currently at it now. So late that I'm afraid to even reply now.
On the bright side, if the emails are from September then they can’t have been terribly important. There’s probably nothing to actually worry about.
Time will tell.
Oh man, I'm getting nervous just thinking about it. I've got a similar situation at work, 2 jobs, too much work, not enough staff, and people asking for me to fix a million things. I hate reply to things from a few weeks ago and telling them I haven't had time to get to it yet.
It's the worst.
Sometimes I think I should just become a goatherd, but at least this way no animals are harmed by my fecklessness.
Any reason it’s taking so long? I know jobs are different so just curious.
I'm fully remote and somewhat undertrained on one of the two jobs I have to do at the same time. I'm also paid purely on my billable work. Excuses aside, I failed to make it a priority in my daily rush to do 'enough'.
Is there anyway the issue was resolved already and you can just move on to the next task?
Sorry you are stuck doing two jobs at the same time. I’ve been there and it’s not right / too stressful.
There are like 70 late emails I've pinned for reply. Just going to bite the bullet and take the day to chew through as many as I can. It makes me sick. Hoping if I do it all at once it will hurt less. Wish me luck
Doing that sucks, but it's so much better when it's done. I did that this morning for my task list, and I feel much better now.
I am being brave - made it up to the end of October.
If it was important enough, someone would have chased you about it
