stop clamoring, when everybody talks at once, no one can be heard, now can they? you can take your fingers off the redial button, at long last, here is your japanese word of the day:

張り切る (ha ri ki ru) to be in high spirits; to be full of vigor; to be enthusiastic; to be eager; to stretch to breaking point.

you can use it to mean that you're really going all out to get a project finished. note: should not be confused with 腹切り (ha ra ki ri), which is ritual self-disembowelment. because people will get this funny alarmed and confused look and then laugh at you if you do. and then they'll probably hide the knives.
