Sleepy kittens
Sunday November 11, 2007
Karamello is currently fast asleep behind the keyboard. So cute!
So I put a whole bunch of photos from my holiday on facebook… eventually I’ll put some here too… I’m just lazy is all =) Bear with me.
Work has been OK since coming back. It started off slowly, but that nice slow pace lasted for about… oooh… one and a half days? My company decided that “for the time being” I would be the main project manager and contact point for one of our more “difficult” clients. They used to be very good, nice, fun to work for, but they’re quite difficult now. They complain a lot and they expect that they should be our only priority. As such, I spend about half my day now, trying to get all their things (i.e. outrageous requests) done.
I guess the up-side is that if I can pull them out of their “I hate you” attitude, it will mean I am a miracle worker.
I’ve also started jogging in the morning again. I am soooo unfit. I would have thought that a month of solid walking would have kept my fitness levels around where they were, but now after 1.5kms I’m almost spent! And now I have a mini gut. Lol. I wonder how long it will take me to shed the excess I “gained” last month.
Anyway, I must be off. I need to go check on dinner… take care!

Hey good luck with the difficult clients. It’s funny how they really think your company has no other clients but them. People can be so demanding sometimes. Anyways, hope all goes well with the weight loss. I’m simply too lazy to do anything of the sort ;x

I’d be seriously pissed if they did that to me. Good luck with it. Try not to lose too much of your mind. xD

I“m sorry that your work is so stressful… even if it is nice and only temporary, its always so emotionally draining to deal with people who complain a lot…. it will be good to be able to prove yourself I guess though!
I wish I could be motivated at all to get up and go jogging! I’m impressed! Keep up the good work!

Ahh work D: I don’t currently work (it was a bit much to do school and work late so I quit) but I can kind of understand how you feel. I think it’s great that youre jogging again, If I could even motivate myself to just walk, things would be nice x_x

Good luck with the difficult clients. I always say it’s just a challenge or opportunity to shine.
I can relate as I’m self-employed (contractor / business)… and yeah, I get a lot of headaches dealing with crazy clients. But I always remember, they’re paying for my next meal.

Oh clients who expect you to treat them like royalty are annoying. I guess you have no choice though. That’s a real shame that you have to be the one to deal with them.
Morning jogs! Wow! I think it’s really admirable that you can do that. I can’t even wake up in the morning, let alone do jogs. :(
