Superman Returns, feels overworked

Returning to work on Earth after almost 20 years, Superman complained that his workload is killing him. "I haven't gotten a good night's sleep since I clocked in to work this past month", Superman said in a brief message to the United Press International.

Superman was on a leave of absence trying to find out more about his roots, before deciding to move back to planet Earth. Before joining the workforce earlier last month, Superman said to the press reporters that he was very enthusiastic about getting back to work.

Renowned psychologist, Dr. Patricia Brown, said that returning to work after a vacation can be very stressful. "Superman needs to prioritize his work, and take one day at a time". Dr Brown said that people usually think that they have to work late hours to catch up on work they missed during their vacation period.

Superman's job is hard even without having to play catch up with all the evil people and the wars they wrought during his absence. Recent events in the middle east has forced Superman to work overtime trying to evacuating US and British nationals from Lebanon.

To make matters worse, Superman has new enemies to deal with. Hamas and Hezbollah today issued a joint press statement where they lambasted Superman for saving only the infidels. "Superman chose not to save our Islamic brothers from the Zionist army, and for that we have issued a fatwa against Superman".

This fatwa comes in addition to problems Superman is facing on the Capitol Hill. GOP members are demanding that Superman be disallowed from working in America because of rumours that he might be gay. Democrats counter that saying Superman be allowed to work in USA because he is doing a job that Americans don't want.

Doctors at Good Samaritan Hospital have prescribed Ambien to Superman, but are unsure if Superman has medical insurance to cover the cost of his prescription drugs. Superman insists he does, "I flew into Canada to buy cheap prescription drugs", but said that he continues to work in his sleep despite using Ambien.
