DEADLINE
So tomorrow is deadline day here for me at the "Best of Orlando". Our March book is closing, and all of our paperwork must be done before tomorrow at 5 p.m. During deadline week, everyone in the office goes insane, I've never seen anything quite like it. I mean, maybe it's because I don't have as many clients as the other consultants, but holy moly, it's like a circus in here this week. The closer it gets to Friday, the more ridiculous it gets. I understand the stress that comes with this time of the month, as I know that things have a tendency to get out of hand.
However, I almost feel like everyone puts on a front to make it seem that they're going more insane than they really are, to prove to my boss that they're working. As if pacing and moving around, while on the phone and shouting to our graphics team, is going to help them accomplish more sales. I wonder if I need to get this way too, to assure my boss that I am indeed doing my job, or if I just need to continue being myself and just getting it done. I call it the SHOW. All of our sales team puts on a show this week, I should start charging for admission.
Thank God tomorrow's Friday... even if it is treatment number 3, that means I'm halfway done, God willing!
