Blackouts and meltdowns
While the entire east coast has experienced a massive blackout, I’ve experienced a minor meltdown…
This has probably been the worst week - at least for me - in Slender Fungus history. Of course, to keep things in perspective, it’s STILL better than any time I’ve spent working for a company.
Pushed up deadlines; last minute projects that must be done; incessent phone calls from clients for no particular reason; patience and budgets being stretched to the limit; still no checks arrived from the already massively overdue backlog as previously discussed; neverending stream of emails from labels and various promotional entities that must be dealt with accordingly; blarghy blarghy blargh.
Of course, Wendy has put it all in perspective. None of it really matters that much, and none of it is that important. And all of it can be dealt with without the aneurisyms I’ve been experiencing…
so today, we started dealing with them, one by one, relatively rationally. Or at least Wendy did, while I got to play hooky and blow off some steam… so now we’re just dealing with the projects. Had to do some shitty things that I don’t like to do, dealing with clients and contractors and making hard decisions regarding deadlines, but that’s life. I’ll just drink myself into a stupor tonight and get over it.
Over and out for now - hopefully a much happier me tomorrow.
