I have to give a third presentation today. A training on SEO copywriting for the copywriters. I am getting burnt out already in this job. It's demanding and there are SO many meetings.

I also am having trouble keeping up with my workload. With so many meetings, and so many different needs pulling me in different directions, I am getting lost. There's so many people I must deal with in this role, in the north america group and globally. I am getting confused and lost. I need help. I need my boss to reign it all in for me.

There's an enormous and growing backlog of deliverables from the agency I work with, dating back to April. I am working through the deliverables, very slowly. I am having to redo a lot of the work myself. I sent back some of the work to be redone by the agency, but they still haven't done the job to my satisfaction. I don't know how to approach that with my boss? I have to tell her that the agency's SEO work still isn't meeting my standards, even after providing a few specific guidelines.

I am starting to get stressed and overloaded. Now I can see why my boss thinks I need someone helping me. And I do! I need an assistant. This is overwhelming for me, and I cannot keep up.
