This post is exactly right, and *so* needed to be said. I think this is sometimes another form of competition among, as mystery mango says, "hyper-insecure overachievers."
It also seems to me like the people who complain the most often and/or loudly about having too much to do are not people like Scarlet who have a hard time saying no and who commit to a lot of things because they are clearly reliable. Instead the people who complain the most/loudest are usually those who don't ever, *ever* go out of their way to help anyone or contribute anything or serve on any committees. Grrr. I might have a related post on this in the future.
