feeling stressed and pressured by having too many things to do

a frazzled office worker sits at a desk covered with towering stacks of papers, multiple ringing phones, and scattered documents. She frantically tries to answer one phone while typing on her computer and reviewing papers simultaneously. Coffee spills across some documents as she reaches for yet another ringing phone with her free hand. Her hair is disheveled and sweat beads appear on her forehead from the constant pressure. Coworkers hover nearby holding more urgent files and pointing at their watches impatiently. Office phones continue ringing in the background while deadlines loom everywhere. someone feeling stressed and pressured by having too many things to do
