See Robin.

See Robin volunteer to cover for a sick co-worker. See Robin be asked to cover for 2 other project managers, one also sick, one going on vacation. See Robin gulp, look at her schedule, and agree. See Robin think about it harder. See Robin panic. See the remaining 3 project managers offer no sympathy whatsoever because they are equally overwhelmed.

Luckily Sheryl had mercy and isn't giving me her project. And I can get Wendy to help out with the other one. I will live. The trick is remaining calm and not switching to a new task every 5 minutes...
