obligatory post
I realized I hadn't posted yet today, so here I am, much to the chagrin of many. Today is a slow day at work... still here... only one paper to put out today, so things aren't as bustling as other days. So on these days, I try to keep myself occupied. Idle hands...
For the past couple weeks I've been handling some volunteer staffer issues for my friend James. He sells t-shirts and is at Comic-con right now with 4 huge booths. A few weeks ago he mentioned that people freak out because they don't have a handle on things and don't know what they're doing. At the time I was acting freaked out for his benefit, but since he's expressed that view, I've been taking this recreation with a lot less stress. It is still stressful, mind you, but I'm not letting it get to me... much. I've had a few people complain to me that they can't work the preview night, or they can't work because of a new job. I just go "eh, I don't rightly care." If you can't make it, fine. If you can make it, great. I'll let other people do the stressing (which I did when I delegated my at-con duties to Beau, sorry!). Since Comic-con has already started (it's in the middle of Preview Night as I write this), there's a lot, lot less pressure on me now. Things are rolling and there's nothing I can do about it. If we're not adequately staffed, oh well. No use crying over spilt milk, just fucking deal with it. I had contemplated not attending Comic-Con. I was originally planned to attend and work at the con on Saturday and Sunday. But I suppose I will still go. Many things depend on me. I have to give a staffer a ride home afterward, and jae_staar has commanded that I show up so we can hang out. So I'll go.
I look foward to when this weekend is over. (more about this later... back to work)
