The meeting race is on

I hate to complain about work since only three months ago I didn’t have a job to complain about, but this last week has been a looooong one. Every single day I’ve been in meetings all day long. Running from one meeting to another one hoping that brought the right papers or presentation with me. So far so good! Every morning I’ve been coming in around 7 am just to catch up on the everlasting flood of emails. And the same goes for the evenings. Emails, emails and emails. Right now I curse the man who invented emails and the CC button. I’m drowning! Is this how it is to be a manager? In my old job as E-business Manager I was still involved in some "real" work and productions, but now as Internet Manager I just tell other people what to do, plan ahead and try to bring some structure into things. I guess this all being very new to me is the reason why I feel so stressed out and overwhelmed. I will get used to it I hope…
