Yes, I was trying to please my boss and overextended myself.

Where I felt pushed was when I told him I wasn't comfortable handing in this one project by Friday because I needed more time on it, and then he pushed me to try to get it done. And he pushed hard... that's when I posted this thread. I was overly stressed and he seemed unhappy with me.

I had to explain to him that it really needed more time and that I didn't have the time it truly needs that week. I had miscalculated the effort.

I am glad that he took a second look at it and came back to me the next day with a completely different outlook on the whole situation. He told me he would take some things off my plate.
