Could the people who set this goddamn special section up screw it up anymore than they did? No, is the answer.
It's 40 goddamn pages, which is at least 6-7 more than they gave me stories for. And I'm running 3-column pictures on a 5-column tab to get even that much space filled. I have 2 photo spreads, across two pages each, and I STILL have 6-7 pages empty.
What the fuck were they thinking?
Oh, yeah, and those pictures I'm filling up space with? THEY DIDN'T GIVE THEM TO ME. As in, I didn't actually have them. In fact, I still don't. I have some pictures that are sort of related to fall. They have, like, funny-colored leaves in them. But I need to fill pictures about, say, the Fossil place on 5 and 10. And funny-colored leaves don't do it. Nor do they fill space about festivals, or the QII, or any other damn thing I need to fill space on. I can use 'em as stand-alones in the calender. Whopp-de-do, that's 5 of the 25 I need. They'll fill the spreads, but I didn't count those.
So fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.
I've worked this weekend, and I'm going to have to come in monday too. And prolly wednesday, and DEFINITELY NOT friday, or this weekend. 'Cus if it gets to that point, fuck 'em. They were supposed to have all this stuff done, they promised to do it, and I TOLD them I would have very limited time to work on it.
I cannot fucking stand this crap. They do this to me every damn time I work here. Not on the fridays this month, it's true, but then, during those fridays I'm working 17-hour shifts. Which is a judgement call on fucking.
Being angry is going to keep me up tonight, and I have to get up at 5am. I know this is going to happen. I made a set of meditation beads, and they may be able to help. I sure hope so.
Thank you for listening.
