Crap Brad!  You having a bad day?

Agreed.  The situation is not really a workable one and trying to fight both

Beyond what's been said by Mark and Dave, this may also be a good time to ask

Although not always attractive, if the extra body can get you back to a nice
place, then you can use their spare cycles to push out project work.
