It was a Busy Work Day

I love my job about 29 out of 30 days of the month. And than the last work day of the month comes and I have to do traffic for our clients. This means I have to send instructions for what radio and TV spots we want to run for the next month and this includes spot name, run dates, and percentage of run. Well this month was going to be extra hard and so today I started and I only got two clients done. In fact one took me most of the day because of the complexity of how they wanted this shit done. It was ridiculous and should be done by someone who isn't me because I have much more important things to get done and this is damn busy work. So I hope that the process of finding me an assistant starts again because it is getting to the point where I wish I could call snap my fingers and it would be done. Instead I get to bitch and complain for a day or more a month about how doing traffic sucks.

The Calm Before the Storm

Lately my job has been pretty crazy and I have had a ton of projects to complete in a very short period of time. These projects go through tons of revisions and of course everything is due right now and everyone's is the most important project and so I don't even have time to breathe.

Well this last week has been really quiet at work. I have been able to do a lot of things that I can't do when I am slammed, like clean my desk of the piles that are on it. I knew that this quiet workload week was just the "Calm before the Storm". Boy was I right, I was just told that this project I completed over a month ago was rearing its ugly head again. And the worst part about it is I knew this would come up and had been warning my co-workers that if they had any new revisions before the next client presentation that they should get them to me so I have adequate time to make it great. Well my co-worker just came into my office and said next presentation is in 3 days and those revisions I have been sitting on and haven't given back to you need to be ready for that meeting. WTF?!?!

I don't mind doing my job and I know I will get the changes made and they will be great but why can't people be a little more considerate when they have had the time to finish something but just waited it out.
