Pre-Holiday Rant

So I was in a pretty good mood this morning. The weather's nice, and it's finally feeling like Novemeber outside, which I'm happy about... But then I get to work and I realize there is just too much going on this week. It's Thanksgiving, so that means we are having a potluck here at the office today. We are also moving (offices) on Wednesday, so everything is a mess and totally un-organized (which the OCD part of me cannot stand). Oh, and we're still at work, right? Right... So there is still actual work to do somewhere in there.

On top of it all, my husband's grandmother passed away on Friday. So that means this week we will be going to Modesto (about an hour east) on Wednesday, San Jose (hour south) on Thursday to have dinner with my family, and then back to Modesto on Friday for the funeral. Perhaps it's just the axiety talking, but does that sound like an awful lot to anyone else? I for one am having a very hard time wrapping my head around everything at the moment.

OK... enough feeling sorry for myself. Time to get back to work before even more sh*t piles up.
Happy Monday!! :P

xoxo,

Please Take Note:

I am no one's "secretary". I am an advertising and music licensing coordinator. Just because I answer phones and help to field calls, does not mean I am a receptionist. I work at a small company, and we all answer the phones. Please take note that if you refer to me as a receptionist or secretary, I will be offended. Nothing against those who are, but I was a receptionist 3 years ago, and I have worked very hard to move up.

I just received a call from some D-Bag wanting to license a song, and he says to me "I understand you are Shelly's secretary". Sorry buddy, you understand WRONG. This is after he called last week, and asked if I was "very knowledgeable about music publishing". Yes, yes I am... Aaaannndddd I will not be helping you out now. Little tip...If you want help, make sure you know who you are talking to before you decide to be condescending and treat them like they don't know what they're doing.

Thanks for letting me vent :P

XOXO,
Nikki
