the brochure of my discontent
ok, so i’m working on this brochure for work. i’m at home, waiting for my boss to email me some information so i can get this party started. i hate to be a hopeless pessimist, but when i did the brochure for summer programs, it was absolute pure torture, and i have a feeling that today will be no better. so i’ve decided to periodically update this post here with breaking news from the battlefront.
12:37 p.m.: for approximately an hour and a half now, i have been waiting for my boss to e-mail me the information i will need in order to have a brochure with actual useful stuff in it. ah. there’s a long list of things i have to fit in this puppy…. i think my original, lovely, tri-fold design isn’t going to be big enough to hold everything. bah.
4:22 p.m.: right, ok, my boss just left and now i’ve got the information but there’s no way in hell i’m going to get all this done before 5:00. plus, i was supposed to get some meeting reminders in the mail today… but the mail goes out at 4:30 and i don’t see how i have time to drive to city hall, make copies, address envelopes, and get everything in the mail before joann leaves for the post office. it’s been a completely unproductive day today and i suck.
you know, this whole “updates from the battlefront” idea didn’t pan out so well, since there was nothing to update. i didn’t get any work done on the brochure because i was waiting for rodney, so i just basically sat here and listened to cds and checked my e-mail. which is, of course, not all that different from a regular day at the office, except i was really feeling like actually working today. huh. go figure. anyway, i have the feeling that i will spend tomorrow doing what i should’ve been doing today. whee.
