To say last week was pure craziness would be an understatement. Everything happened in threes.
It all began when my best friend called to say she’d lost her job. Then my other good pal lost his. Next my brother decided to up and quit his with no notice. All three in one week!
I’m managing a website redesign. We’re at the tail end of a yearlong process and are finally entering the testing and review phase. The company that is doing the redesign can’t meet its own deadlines which is driving me crazy.
As if that weren’t enough, I’ve organized three programs for this conference in February. And now, all of a sudden, I’m receiving all these speaker changes. So it’s like having to do the same work twice.
And lastly — I’ve got three publications on hold because people can’t seem to edit materials by the deadlines I give them.
I’ve decided that I absolutely hate relying on other people. Especially since they are all making me look very very very bad. Incompetent more like.
On the bright side, it snowed yesterday and is finally beginning to feel a little bit like winter.

Incompetence…blah! It’s so much worse when you have to rely on other people to get things done.

It’s too bad that threatening people with a baseball bat is not only illegal, but considered bad manners.

Good work ethics are hard to come by any more. That is a shame.
