It's 5:30 am and I'm not looking forward to today!

it's going to be the day from hell and I know it.

I have to fire a salesperson - she was my friend before she started working for me. She's been on the payroll for 5 months without making a sale. I don't know what else to do, I've tried everything short of selling something and putting her name on the order.

I have to meet with two clients that I really don't care for. They are both indecisive and deadlines are approaching. I want to tell them both "Make a freaking Decision! If it's wrong at least it's a decision!" The funny thing is they are both Insurance companies! They make decisions that impact our lives all the time - and they can't pick out a freaking awards program - Good thing they aren't doctors!

The components are due today in for my Alzheimer's Donor wall. Today I'll find out if I did the math right or if the damn wall is going to weigh too much to actually put it up.

I have 13 orders on my desk that have to be completed today, all on deadlines.

And I have a 2:00 appointment with a pompous ass that wants to be our "representative" in the "donor community". My parent's think he's a "wonderful well known fundraiser". I think he wants a cut (5% no less) for doing nothing more than making an introduction ...and that's sleazy.

Mix all that with an 8:00 staff meeting, and a 5:00 meeting with a multi-line rep and I just want to go back to bed.

I'm too tired to deal with all this crap! I want to take a nap by two! It's not fun or easy anymore.

Yes, I'm whining but, they aren't paying attention....and neither should you.
