i fucking give up

June 17, 2003 — Leave a comment

i’m a day away from handing in my resignation, i’m not sure how much more this level of shit i can deal with.

day before the shoot, the caterer/food prep my boss organised is unable to provide the quality and kind of food we need for the shoot.  they don’t have the garnishes, they don’t have the time. they don’t even specialise in the menu. on top of which my boss is unhappy with the quote from the photographer and wants to use someone else. bear in mind the office closes in 30 minutes or less but the time this posted, she’s out of the office right now.

it’s a good thing too, cause right now i just want to stab in the eye with a sharpie. i hate the fucking disorganisation and the cheapness of this place.

she doesn’t want to buy flatware, she doesn’t want to pay good photographers, she doesn’t want to buy props, she doesn’t want to pay models. cheap fuck.

FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!

the job does not pay me for this stress. i have 15 fucking dollars to my name. which is just enough to get me home and back tomorrow. i hate this fucking job, my contract says i have to give three days notice (before i quit) til the end of this of this month (then i have to give a month`s notice)

should i quit now? before i kill someone with stationery? (although in this fucking place i`d have to bring my own)

quick links

31 DAYS TO VICTORIA GETS HERE

i owe, i owe, so it’s off to work i go.

today is going to be one of sort of work days i like, stuff needing to finished on tight deadlines. i have 3 ads to get out today, but the time i get in my scan should have arrived. logo designs, advertorials (god i hate that word) all due by end of day or first thing in the morning. plus all the planning and stuff for the shoot.

it’s on of those no guts no glory days. i suppose i should be bothered but i think the excitement of victoria coming and all these lovely dreams. i’ve been having the most intimate and exciting dreams, i’m holding on to the joy they bring to take me through the day.

i’ll be back later with details of the day in progress. need to catch my ride.

adieu.

i finished that book. my fucking good, it was so bad.

i should have know, i got it with two other books, there were high praises for the other two, not a peep about this one. i pray to god the author was being ironic. i have rarely come across a more unsympathetic character. i felt nothing but loathing towards this woman, she was a whiny, truculent, selfish, petty woman. god, i hated that book. phew, needed to get that off my chest. just for information here is the amazon link for the worst book i’ve read all year.

funny ass matrix parody

the post-it gallery

there were a lot of links, but i’m going for fun and positive this week or at least while i’m in such a good mood. enjoy.

i left the office early and spent an interesting evening scouting two beach locations, the first was called 100 steps and required a trek down (duh) quite a lot steps, the beach is beautiful but the concept of trekking myself, photographer, assistant, makeup artist, 8 models including 4 children and equipment down and back up (an aside, i need to start working out, just thinking about climbing back up those stairs has me breathless) does not fill me with a great deal of joy, i keep envisioning someone’s child slipping down the stairs. how do i tell a parent, well sorry, they fell. i don’t think so.

on the other beach the tide was coming in, it wasn’t as pretty but more accessible and i paid the price for my little jaunt, my little pleather slip-ons got soaked and my jeans are hanging in the shower drying. it was fun and in the gallery is a picture of the sunset from along the north coast road, it was damp so it was very misty. but that picture alone was worth the trip.

i’m about the check the links, i had not the use of my computer this evening my lord and mistress (my daughter) was busy on the machine.

i’ll be back momentarily. ciao.

how do i say this?

so i had to face the third degree this morning as to why d wasn’t coming back to work. how do i tell my boss that we both think you’re a cheap fuckwit, who has no idea how to manage people and still keep my job?

no worries, i didn’t have to. what i do have to do is come up with a schedule and layouts for an indoor food shoot on wednesday and an outdoor shoot on friday. bearing in mind, it’s the rainy season and it’s a holiday and if the weather’s good it’s going fucking well impossible to find a beach without masses of people.

still i hold on, i’m trying not to flip out and have a hysterical outburst, i’m taking more me time. went downstairs had lunch, reading a book, i brought. new book – does my bum look big in this? (i don’t know if it’s my subconcious bad mood or if the book is really that annoying) but i really just want to smack the main character upside her head.

preproduction meetings this afternoon as well as a site visit to the beach. not as much fun as it sounds, particularly in light of all the other stuff that i need to get done before wednesday. this is a short week here, last working day of the week is wednesday, i may need to come into the office on thursday to reorganise/restructure the setup to better suit my needs.

thus endeth my morning. i hope your day is going better. i’ll be back later. hopefully before i leave for the site visit. otherwise when i get home.

i found this link last night, but the page wouldn’t load (of course it loaded now – yay!) it’s an interactive timeline generator. go check it out, it’s very cool. the site has some bandwith restrictions, so if it doesn’t load check back later.

it’s well work the look. caio.
