Black monday Monday, 12 May, 2008

Good morning? Don’t you dare! I hate mondays, I really do. To top it all off, I come in to work, check my emails and bang. Several stupid emails from several stupid middle/top managers. We have a deadline ( a week from today), I am on holidays from Wed 14 to Tue 20 and I am trying to get things done and what do they say: ‘Oh, we don’t like the faint blue line you put on that postcard’, ‘Can we not think about a different concept for the image?‘ or – wait for it – ‘Can we not organize a photo shoot, do we have time?’ - ARRGGGHHHH, no, we don’t have time to hire a model for a photo shoot, no, we can’t change the image and as for the faint blue line, live with it, alright? I still have to understand why some people get paid 50K+ to come up with such crap. Where have I gone wrong all these years? I mean, it’s different now. I have my own business and other plans, but can you believe there are people out there getting paid loads – yes, loads – to say such things??? They are not politicians either. I could understand if they were, but no. These are average people in average jobs with over inflated salaries.  Do you think I need a coffee? I think I need a coffee. Black, strong and lots of it. As for mondays, this is going to be a long, long one. I hate mondays.
