There's always this precious couple of moments before you wake up, that your mind drifts to the days happenings, maybe what you'd like in your life, or just the things you have to do. So, are you jumping out of bed, excited that your purpose in life has been fulfilled by, the Almighty Short Sale?
My guess is, your answer is a resounding "No". So why are you doing them? Are they making you more money? If so, great! Are they worth your time? If they are, awesome!
If not, what IS the best use of your time? Listings? Marketing? SALES? I would sure hope so. "But Tracy,", you might be saying.."I HAVE to do short sales! That's where the market is at."
"Ahh, dear Agent" I retort. "Do you cut your own hair? Rebuild your own transmission? Finish renovating the bathroom that your husband abandoned, promising it would "only take two weeks"?!)..(ok, maybe that's pushing it, just making sure you're still reading).
My point is, do what I did. Link up with people in the industry that are a glutton for punishment and have people pounding the phones and following up relentlessly, so you can go out and drive sales and manage your pipeline. Check out their stats first, because some agencies keep them in house and do well with it. Some don't.

"Will I EVER get this short sale done?"
What's most important is realizing that, although YES short sales are here to stay for awhile, that doesn't mean you have to personally transact all of them. Most offices, similarly, have transaction coordinators and assistants to do the things that are not the best use of your time.

Although there will always be ways to make money in real estate, that doesn't mean you have to learn everyone's job around you and do it yourself. Same thing goes with negotiating short sales. Keep your listing. Mind your sanity.
Let me know if I can help!
