1. Instead I've compromised by writing a slightly less bathetic list of all the things I must do today, and am awaiting results.

- bathetic (adj.) 1834, from bathos on the model of pathetic (q.v.), which, however, does not come directly from pathos, so the formation is either erroneous or humorous. Bathotic (1863, perhaps on model of chaotic) is not much better.
