I have not blogged in awhile, I realised. Thing's been going wrong of late I must say, and life's been so hectic that it's crazy. Been mad busy the past couple of weeks.
For a start, we landed ourselves in a job to put together an event cum press hospitality for an office opening, where Lewis Hamilton will be in town to officiate and participate in the ribbon cutting. Sounds exciting huh?
Not. Not when we were only engaged to help barely one week before it all. I've had many instances where we've helped clients manage events within short time frames, but one week?? SERIOUSLY?
All that mad running around, last minute decisions to make and also uncertainty especially when the company is big, and MANY different parties are involved in MANY different things. It's a mess, no decision makers, conflicting instructions, NO TIME and internal trouble makers.
Yesterday, I totally snapped at a colleague who has been irritating me the past couple of days. For the first time in a long while, I totally lost my cool at someone and screamed at her to shut up.
She has seriously been irritating bugging me about the seeming lack (according to her) of toilets and urinals for the guests at the venue like they are all going to hyperventilate and start foaming at their mouths and die cause they were made to queue for toilets.
Which probably meant that I'm in trouble if everyone needed to go at the same time that urgently.
Maybe it's her mission in life to hit the toilets at every event she goes, but not everyone does. I have other bigger issues to worry about like branding, audio visual equipment, event flow, etc etc, nothing is confirmed and here she is making such a huge fuss about it and totally making me "discuss" with her why and how we cannot have more toilets.
I felt totally stupid with the capital S for even engaging in that discussion with her.
AARRGGHHH!!
