the day, she is long.....

so, after spending the last several days contemplating life, and what's important, and thinking i seriously have to change the way i approach work - my brain apparently fucked up and stopped working.

spend yesterday working with a group of guys to get a couple 50" plasma screens installed for some new digital display signage. had to be in place today for the building grand opening. spent an additional 7 hours of overtime designing content to put up, because no one had bothered providing any information.

went and looked today - all looked good. corrected a couple of minor issues various people requested. and then.... was asked to completely replace it. guess someone higher up the chain didn't like things.

told them no. sorry, i needed this yesterday - i have a funeral i'm leaving for shortly. i can pick this back up on monday. walked away. felt pretty good.

until the higher ups phoned the department head, and manager. so.... the solution in the end was to turn it off. 11 people involved over a 7 hour period yesterday, and an addition 7 hours. and nothing to show for it.

but did i lose it? no... i kept my cool.

until someone asked if i was having a bad day. but still, i was fine....

unless you count embedding my coffee cup in the wall. and kicking my office wall. and punching several holes in the wall in the main area my office is in. and then breaking down in tears in front of my entire staff. then i left to go bury my uncle.

monday should be interesting.

if i show up. then tuesday should be interesting.

(if you're lucky, i'll take photos of what's left of the wall)
