Fool
Remember this entry: “Convictions” from 2007 March? Who’s the fool indeed? Indeed, in the last 1.5 years, the project I had been working 3 yrs to get approved...well, got approved. And since then, I’ve been toiling away—on weekends, into the weeknights—to get the work done to meet the deadlines which we’ve set (although seriously, what did I have to say in the deadline/timelines).
What was the alternative? Especially in this economy, does one such as myself say “no more!” I would surely have been let go, replaced by someone who would get the job done. What would you do? Does being a Christian change your answer?

That's unfortunate. :-/ I'm really sorry to hear that.
I'm not a Christian, but if I were in that situation, I'd cut back on sleep. But I think you already do that. And it's a very unhealthy way of dealing with an overwhelming workload. Megh. And I'm not sure how likely it would be to find another job...
I have friends who are Christians, and they usually try to deal with overwhelming load of schoolwork + extracurricular + part time jobs by devoting a certain number of hours to bible study and spending time in fellowships. It helps them prioritize/reevaluate what's important to them and how they should approach certain things.
I don't think that was very helpful, but I wish you the best of luck.
