Too many conflicting questlines?

I did a lot of math during the Sideshow Bob event, trying to figure out which characters I should send to get masks, which to get DNA, how much I would have if I sent them X times per day, etc. But you don't have to. Don't stress over a game, because it's *** A GAME ***.
Like your attitude, brutha (or sistah)! But the thing is, I'm one of those Type-A people who gets an unreasonable amount of joy, motivation and satisfaction from completing tasks and crossing things off lists. Drives me nuts to leave things undone or incomplete: once I'm committed, I'M COMMITTED. I am totally the type of person to have a TSTO spreadsheet, I've had to fight the urge to create one more than once. It's like a sickness, I'll cop to it. :roll:
Up to now this hasn't been a hindrance in the game, and in fact this kind of game, with all the tasks and to-do lists, was just the ticket to feed that completionist beast so it wouldn't intrude so much into the rest of my life---because real life is certainly not made up of questlines you can always complete! Now that the game is getting more like real life, with the conflicting priorities and having to do math and whatnot, that's no longer true. It's a much less satisfying outlet than it once was.
I'll give it another week. If it's still a drag by then, I think I'm gonna have to quit. Real bummer after two years of happy tapping. But then again, if I stick it out just to get to Halloween and that event is more of the same, I'll feel like a real idjit for hanging in there so long. :?
