Work is stupid. I may elaborate when I'm on a keyboard and not my phone, but that will suffice for now.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm sorry, smonster.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm sorry too.

Better today. We're behind on a project so there is more than normal pressure to go fast and micromanaging and stuff. Work is the same but I'm giving myself an attitude adjustment via Tara Brach podcasts. I need to remember those sooner.

Bleargh, smonster, but good on you for finding some coping mechanisms.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Someone - a fairly new hire who's the #2 in the office - came to me asking if we had a template/standard for something. After about the fifth repetition, she finally understood that no, we don't. eeesh

Work is stupid. You would think that working for myself it would be less so, but not so much. In theory I should be able to take a day off from time to time, but instead it ends up being working excessive hours. Oh well. Maybe seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, but at least a couple more weeks of triple time with the current project.
I do feel bad because I have a friend visiting from RI and I haven't had time to socialize. Fortunately she is self sufficient and comfortable enough to take my car and do stuff on her own.

You'd think it would be less complicated. So absolutely not.

Yeah, one of my employees, who is normally awesome, just pulled the pin on a metaphorical grenade with a client and the whole thing landing in my lap.
Not what I needed. Now instead of this being a clean handoff to someone we use for additional design work because we are some busy at that point, I get to add it to my list of projects that I need to personally handle and make sure go smoothly so that the client feels taken care of. This is the opposite of lessening the load on me.
