Of expectations and deadlines

Fri, 24 Aug 2007 11:27:50 +0200

I did bounce back from the edge. Yesterday was a chilled out day, no stress at all. I did get back on track with living my life.

Thou today, we are having a meeting with a client to track the progress of the account. I want it to be a good meeting but I know this client will find sth to bitch about even thou we have done a great job on the project.

Let me tell you sth about this client, she is one indecisive person - she will not tell us what her expectations, so you go ahead and do what you think she wants. When you finish.... Alas she is not happy maybe you have done what was expected but you dint meet the deadline.

'What deadline? You gave us nothing!' Nway that conversation never ends well. At least not for me.

Let me go and get lynched. Catch you later.

True defination of sh*t hitting the fan...

The funny thing about meeting people for the first time is: one, you draw conclusions about them from their appearance/vibe/words etc. and two, you are never quite sure how they percieve you.

So am afraid of showing too much crazy before you get to know me, so todays post is... somewhat polite.

Usually, my days are busy & stressful but not stressful enough to make me feel like taking a gun to my head. But today, today All the clients seem to have it in for me. All of them were complaining... really whats a girl to do? Seriously, If I was to name this day, it would be the - lets-lynch-TJ day. (FYI TJ is me). Its been nothing but bad news after bad news today.

First, i could not find my favourite (and only) black suit jacket in my hurricane hit bedroom. So, i had to decide on sth else to wear; a process that takes1 hour. Yeah, am neurotic like that, but thats a story for another day. Nway, you don wanna know what i settled for to wear...

Second, as soon as i arrived at the office, there was bad news waiting for me - there was some new business i was chasing - i found an email telling me that its been awarded to another agency. I had to pass that message to my boss who did not take the news well and yelled some at me.

From there everything went down hill, every call i got it was someone whining about why we dint do this or that - Av fought with my team to no end, today. I cant go into details, but the term 'shit hits the fan 'describes my day to the tee!

I've got to hustle, my folks are visiting and i have to get home and play the role of a great daughter.

Catch you later. Feel free to holla, its just my first day in 'school', i promise it will get betta.

TJ.
