How has your personality screwed you over today?

I run a big annual event at my kids' school, like a thrift sale for outgrown uniforms. It's a massive event, with over 3,000 items each year personally sorted and hung on hangers by yours truly. Tomorrow is the big day. I have a bunch of volunteers coming to help with setup and the sale itself.

Unfortunately there were some time mixups, so I will be getting the doors unlocked at 9:00 and must field the early-access shoppers at 9:30, the big mass of people at 10:00. Not enough time. So I went today thinking I would kind of get a few things in place, lay stuff out for the volunteers so it would go a little faster.

And then I just stayed for 3 hours and did the whole thing.

I'm exhausted and sore, AND now all these volunteers are going to show up at 9:00 tomorrow and have absolutely nothing to do, all because I'm a stupid overachiever who can't walk away from a half finished job.
