I've been saddled with most of the website projects our company is handling right now. There are five designers in our company (it's a small graphic design firm), and I'm the only one who knows how to make websites. Out of the six ongoing web projects, I'm handling five. :faint: Good thing one is almost done (considering it started December 2006) and two others are sort-of on hold (one is our portfolio site and the other is for a non-responsive client). That leaves me with two active ones, but unfortunately both are on  tight and overlapping schedules.

It doesn't help that my boss likes to throw other (non-website) projects in my lap since my deadlines for the web stuff don't get moved to a later date. I've been requesting for them to get another designer who also knows how to make sites, but they still haven't found anyone suitable. I'm quickly burning out, and I have a feeling I won't be able to handle another month of this kind of workload.

I want to quit and look for another job but I know I'd feel guilty afterwards if I leave them in the middle of the projects with no one else to handle the web projects. O_o And I still don't know what kind of work I want to do afterwards if I do resign. o_O AAAAARGH!
