Today can DIAF
It’s officially been the most stressful day I’ve had in a very long time.
Foremost on my mind, of course, is the “equipment failure” (I kindly euphemise) in the studio. In one day, we’ve discovered three things that have broken, including a camera. It seems pretty clear they’re from negligence or carelessness. No one’s looking at me or anything, except to the degree that I usually send things out, but that is some serious failure, equipment or otherwise.
More stresses all around, some of which are right up the alley of communication and miscommunication. I don’t know whether it is true, but I feel like because I try harder to communicate clearly, I’m held to a different standard. Very similar to how I often feel like because I am willing to lay out, in actual written word, what my standards for behavior for myself are, I disappoint people more than if I did not.
Sometimes it’s fun to say, like I did for our WoW guild, that I’ll be “the school principal” and say the things no one else feels comfortable saying – after all, I’m the one who believes strongly that they need to be said, comfortable or otherwise. Boot that sucka, get it over with! Sometimes, though, it leaves me feeling a little unappreciated, and kind of alone.
I’m in that jumpy mood people get into after way too much coffee (which I haven’t had), where you’re waiting for someone to tell you that you forgot to shave (which I did) so you can punch them in the face for the offense.
Okay, enough whiny introspection for the day. I have a persistent headache, too much to do, and I am ready to crawl into bed and see if tomorrow’s better.
Heh, I like the anology. You be the school prinipal, I’ll be the old crusty janitor :D
Bummer on the rough day out there, hope it gets better!
