I spent all day doing something that should NOT have been my job but, when it comes down to it, I'm not sure whose job it should have been.
The bridal show is on Sunday, as I've mentioned, and will continue to mention until I kill it dead. Monday P brought up the programs and did we print them or did a separate company do it and blah blah blah.
D and I: Programs?
So I spent LITERALLY MY WHOLE DAY creating a program based on the info P sent from the one from TWO years ago, and incomplete info for the fashion show. I have it done now, thankfully, but I have to plug in the fashion show info for the other store who SENT their info but who clearly put at the top "this is for your reference but not the order of the models".
THAT DOESN'T HELP ME WHEN I'M DOING AN ACTUAL BREAK DOWN OF WHAT FUCKING DRESSES ARE GOING ON.
So P was trying to get in touch with the lady from that store who is flakey as fuck from what I understand as D dealt with her for the ad portion.
BUT. It's roughly done and when I went to pick up the new banner/sign thing for the show from the copy centre we're contra'ing stuff with she told me that, yes, they did the programs last year and that if I had them to her by Friday morning she could get them printed and I wanted to kiss her.
I didn't realize how stressed out I am about this whole thing. Like, I've been saying it, but I LITERALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. This is my first REAL year being involved in this. C is swamped with the, oh, three other positions she has incorporated into her job, on top of being sick AND on top of the software upgrade we're doing for the ad taking system and the tech from the company left today after being here for two weeks so they needed to be sure they had as much out of her as possible before she left because OF COURSE when they show you a demo of how the program is SUPPOSED to work it NEVER ACTUALLY FUCKING WORKS like that.
I should have been selling stuff today and actually making progress on things beyond the bridal show but right now it's all I'm stuck on and likely for the rest of the week, even though there are lots of other things I need to be doing.
I've never done it, obviously, but the times when we used to barter with goats and milk and hand goods sounds like a plan. Can we bring that system back again? I'd like to keep a goat and be able to get some baubles out of its milk.
Also, god bless anti-anxiety meds. Thank you science jesus.
