Like, this is NOT GOOD already

So like, we did an inventory back in October. So like, we started hammering out the little details first week of September. Things like what parts need to be scrapped, what parts are located where, what parts are being somehow pulled wrong in the system, what parts we have gotten that haven't been entered into the system, all those little nitpicky details that need to be done before you can shut down production and count parts.
So like, we got taken over. And the company we joined, being a publicly traded company, having ISSUES with accountability and such, wants us to do another inventory to make sure that all the books are straight.
So, like, we learn about this Monday. And like, they're sending someone down to shut us down and start counting next Monday. And we might even have people (including possibly me) come in on Saturday to jump start the process so production is not shut down for longer than it has to be.
Because, like, this company has also started revving the engines and is really pressuring us to GET VALVES OUT NOW. Like, yesterday. And like, we have a humongous buttload of valves to get out before the end of the month, which is a crazy time anyway. The biggest order alone is 500+ valves.
So like, we have a *week* to take care of all those little nitpicky details that I mentioned in the first paragraph, rather than a month.
Oh, and did I mention that I'm essentially the second-in-command when it comes to inventory?
This is NOT GOOD for my blood pressure, I can tell you that.
Oh, and did I mention that as a salaried employee I don't get overtime?
Oh, yeah, one more thing--on the little list of instructions they provided to help us with inventory procedures, they say they want us to include "supplies" in our inventory. We have no idea what that means. Maybe they want us to count the boxes we use to ship stuff out with? Maybe they want us to count the dies we use to machine parts with? Maybe they want us to count pencils and toilet paper? We have no *fucking* idea.
ALERT! ALERT! STRESS RISING! BLOOD PRESSURE LEVELS AT MAXIMUM!
She canna take any maer, Keptain!
