I'm upset because they probably think I'm a slacker or I'm blowing them off. In reality, my workload is such that I feel like I am buried under all this stuff and am going to suffocate sooner or later.
I'd be thrilled to hear any insight.

ok...wasn't sure if this would be OT for cf-talk...so figuring better safe than sorry, it goes here.
Project management. I suck at it. And I mean all aspects of it. Couldn't suck worse.
The thought of me meeting a deadline is LAUGHABLE. Obviously, I need to fix this. I think the problem lies in the fact that I'm not able at any given point during the project to accurately estimate a % of the project that's complete / % still to be done. If I could do this, I could at least forecast my failures and notify the customer as early as possible that I need to re-establish the deadline. Of course, the goal would be to *not* have to re-establish the deadline...
Not sure if it's because i'm not adequately gathering requirements or establishing/setting milestones, what have you...but I need to improve in this area. I need make a dramatic improvement, and fast.
Any good resources anybody can point me to? I'm not necessarily looking for PM software...I'm more looking for ...GAH! dunno :)
A book? Something that outlines the processes that I'm obviously missing/skipping?
any info would be greatly appreciated.
Charlie
ps - just to illustrate how monumentally BAD I am at this...I meant to send this email out earlier in the week :)
