I'm very thankful that my physiology has never been wired for panic attacks, because I'm operating on stratospheric levels of stress this week. I have never felt so unprepared for a show to open. Part of this is my own problem, because this show is much larger and more complex than any I've previously worked on, but it's also massively disorganized ( Read more... )

This entire entry is pretty much a summary of my life for the three years I worked at Barnes and Noble. I would repeatedly have meetings with the store manager in which he would say, "You know, you don't have to do everything yourself. You'd probably be a lot less stress if you delegated." And I would bang my head on the desk and say, "If I delegated, nothing would ever get done ever. And when nothing got done, you'd blame me and I'd have to fix it, so it's easier if I just do everything myself to start with."

Ah, the joys of management D:

I'm really starting to think I need to make a tumblr just to follow things I like, because I really need some McAvoy Goober Face today and that tumblr is impossible for me to look at in a non-overwhelming way while I'm sitting at my desk. ::shakes fist::

EXACTLY. I get yelled at if shit doesn't happen. Asking other people to do shit doesn't make it happen. So who else is going to do it?

I've made a tumblr for exactly that reason. I post nothing, just follow. Tumblr fandom is very counter-intuitive for me -- I hate that it's entirely based around reblogging, and don't get the way actually interacting with other people works there -- but at least I get a constant stream of picspams. :)

Oh, legit, man. I feel like I'm too old for tumblr, a fact not discouraged by my roommate bemoaning the fact that she has to explain things like cassette tapes to tumblr users, occasionally. And I get confused because, like, I want to comment on things! But that doesn't seem to be how tumblr works. I would love to tell fanartists that I am loving their work, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do that if you're not a tumblr user. Which is so crazy to me, because why would you put stuff out there and then make it hard for people to comment on it?

Ugh. Tumblr.

But I do like pretty things. And there are like, six tumblrs that I check daily for updates so... ugh, maybe I should bite the bullet. Sometimes I need to look at pretty things!

I..I feel like I should give you this, if you haven't found it already, because it may make you feel better when you actually get a chance to read it: http://azryal.livejournal.com/287842.html

Ok, seriously, I want to box the ears of everyone in your life right now. What the actual fuck?

I am so sorry.
