Didn’t work out this morning. Shame on me. But I was awake most of the night listening to severe thunderstorms and wondering if and when I’d have to take the dog and myself to the basement to take shelter from a tornado.
Back in the office and as annoyed as ever. Of course, we have the investors back today and Negative C. just couldn’t get here by 8am and strolls in at 8:30 with a smirk on her face. I hate her.
Boss is asking for 50 million updates that he and the other salesguys promised to our customers that we’d take care of as soon as we are back from the show and back in the office.
Emergencies everywhere, at every corner, with every retailer, every customer, every salesperson, every colleague including my argumentative Chinese partner (hate her now, too)…and then my engineer dude strolls into my office telling me that they’ve hired another director (supposedly my PEER), and I STILL don’t have the fucking title. He loves to get my blood boiling even further than it already is. I am due for a heart attack.
I should have worked out. It works for me and my stress level. Now I have to go through the day with this level of pressure, and I’m just tired.
But before all this, I got an email last night from Fred, the dude I’m going to California with to interview for this other gig next Friday. I have NOTHING prepared and he wants to go over the game plan this week (or possibly over the weekend).
AARRGGHHH! I knew this would happen, but I’m still just about to implode. It doesn’t come as a surprise that I need to have a bunch of stuff done, and I’m too exhausted to pull something together but I have to.
I’ve recently discovered the adage, “better done than perfect.”
I’m trying, I really am. You’re reading the words of a procrastinating perfectionist, and I believe THAT’s been my issue and it still is today. I truly, truly need to break out of this pattern. At nearly 50 years old, I have to repeat this saying to myself as well: “better late than never.”
I will pull my shit together somehow and pull of a great presentation for these folks after hours. I might not be perfect, but it will be something to get the ball rolling and to start conversation…and it will be DONE.
Okay, lots to do today. Happy Wednesday, everyone. Time to slay this bitch of a dragon.
xox,
GS
