Many Hands

I don't know whether this pin's derived from South American mythology, but it certainly looks like it might be. I like to wear this pin when there are too many things going on in my head at once, but I don't feel I can jettison any of them. As a lifelong procrastinator, I'm no stranger to having stuff build up: I've even tried to persuade myself that imminent deadlines help me prioritize. But that's delusional, of course.

Many Hands is etched into a hefty block of steel, and has a lot of fine detail. In addition to his interesting, stylized form, I like that he's holding everything together with six hands and even his feet. He's doing a fine job, and it's good to have such a worthy role model pinned to my chest. The only missing feature is the designer's signature: but I can live without that.

Ant, you sound completely overwhelmed at work right now! Ask for more help! Delegate! Tell your assistant to "Hold all calls!" or maybe, just run away... Love ya, C.

Not overwhelmed so much as in the mood for a bit of whining...
