I don’t know when it actually happened, that is, the precise moment in which time inexplicitly began to fly at the speed of light, where it seemed impossible to juggle my work priorities, my family life, and the 20 million or so requests that seem to pop-up each day from my co-workers, family, and miscellaneous people I encounter.
