Day 17: Second Wave

Work has gotten busy again
With the influx of tasks flooding my inbox
I do my best to keep up
As the requests increase in the pile.

One by one, I complete each task
As another one comes in
Keeping my head above water
So as not to drown in the requests.

I recall having to survive the influx
A few weeks ago
Alas, the next wave has come in
Like another tsunami threatening to flood me.

I know this is the second of three waves
I will encounter during this period
With the final one approaching
Closer to the end of the year.

I've been promised help is on the way
Within another week
However, I question whether or not
It will be enough to handle the surf.
