Caterwauling

Two more assignments rolled in at stupid o’ clock.

Taking a “Scandal” break. Because, needed. 

A fellow editor type was just musing that, as an industry, we financially reward the salespeople who basically tell tall tales to make a sale. 

Then we punish the people financially who can’t make the fantasy a reality. 

Then we lose the good people and hire lesser labor. In talent and maybe price. 

And the stress falls on the internal people like us who have to maintain appearances. 

Everybody have a good night. You know where I’ll be. Hold the tequila and lime. 

Worked late last night so I’d be in good shape for today.

My old friend/new neighbor invited me over but I had to decline. Too much to do.

Glad I worked “ahead.” That’s because I had a wasted early part of the morning.

Others’ hijinx are really, really cutting into my sanity.

Although I did sneak in a coffee date with a friend. So, the lost time really wasn’t.

Had a few phone calls. Some even had people on the other end.

Worked on something not due till tomorrow. Which was good because …

Then at 4 p.m., two assignments showed up. One due 24 hours earlier, the other due like right this second.

Another late night working.
