Friday. 8:30am…
Wow. This quiet day is gonna be a long one, I think. I need my administrative assistant to help me with a bunch of stuff, and she is sooooo hungover. Id be willing to bet that shes still drunk! Hey. I know. Ive been there. Many times. Her eyes are all droopy and red. Shes really erratic. Running and hurrying at one point, and then slllloooowwwlllly, barely moving at others. Hope she doesnt barf. I asked her if she wanted some coffee, and she practically turned green on me!
Im gonna try to get some good work out of her and then send her home. Sucks that theres so much to do. Id like a play day too!
Okay off to the workroom. Ill update later.
Lunchtime:
Not bad. Not bad at all. We were both in the workroom—knocking it out! I think were doing so well because Peepers isnt here. I had Assistant doing pretty mindless stuff while I worked on storyboards for my presentation on Monday. Theres still lots to do, but I love to see progress!!
Right now Im sitting at my desk, electronically applying for jobs! Hah! I just love technology! I did end up talking to the company I tried to call on Wednesday. The guy called right after I posted my last entry. We talked for a good 45 minutes. He said that he didnt have anything open at the time, but that he thought I could bring some really great talent to the company. Told me to call back next week when he got back from vacation. This company is not in Europe, but it would be a major move for me. Im ready. Im ready for big, big changes!
Also finally got in touch with one of the headhunters whod been calling me. The job that she had is waaaaay above my level. She said that the salary is sky high. I told her that I didnt mind!! She did say that I have 100% of the skill set that this company is looking for (except for managing a large staff). But really, you think I have troubles now .Id be eaten alive at this job. It is a badass job, though. Another household name. In all seriousness, when I think about it, what I do now is HUGE. My product has the #1 market share in its category in the country. I bet if I spelled it out in my diary that every single person whos ever read this thing would know exactly what Im talking about. I dont give myself enough credit. Gah am I cocky today or what? Maybe just proud of what I do. Such a shame that it has to be so sucky most of the time.
Okay. Enough blah, blah. Im going back to the workroom to bang some more of this out!
Its 3:42pm. Ive finished nine story boards and have conned my graphic artist into modifying this great photo into a killer cover page for my presentation booklet! I rock! Onward
Now its 4:44. Im starting to grumble. Because I have lots and lots of paperwork left to do for this presentation. Assistant left at some point without even telling me that she was leaving. Mr. Peepers called in to check on me. Damn. He was being nice and ..thanked me (???????) ..for all the work Im putting into this.
My artist is still working on the cover page. I went to view it on his screen and made him make a bunch of changes. Hes not happy with me, but oh well.
The Pink Princess has called from the other side of the graphics area to see if I want to hook up for dinner/cocktails later. I told her I was swamped, and she commiserated with me for a little while. She said shell be in the office all weekend. I expected to take some work home, but it looks like I may have to come in Sunday.
I think Im going to try to get myself to a point where I can get everything done from home. I really, really, REALLY dont want to come in on Sunday.
Better shut up and get a move on.
Damn. I cant believe it. Its now 6:40, and Im still gonna have to come in over the weekend. Cripes. Oh well. At least the Pink Princess will be here too. Im going now, I guess. Im grabbing my leftovers from lunch. Gonna eat that and then run to the gym and try to work up a good sweat. Then Im gonna go home and get ready for cocktails. I dont expect to be out late. John wants to go to the driving range in the morning. Then, if Im close to work, Ill come in tomorrow. Then home to clean the apartment.
Then .big date!
Then back to work to make sure all is ready for THE BIG PRESENTATION!!
What a whirlwind.
