That oh so familiar chill in the stomach strikes again

Crap. At work, I forgot about an order for printing 26 pictures and get their picture frames. I thought it was all sorted out. I got the formal written order and thought it was all sorted out. It turns out I hadn’t even given the printing people the go ahead for the project, and I was just reminded by the person who asked for this order, asking what happened? So I called, and the printing press guy says oh so we can go ahead then? I get a chilly feeling in my stomach, I hadn’t called to make the order and that was a week ago. I assumed I had. I hadn’t even sent the picture to be printed which I quickly sent off, said hell yea, please get on with it and the purchase order for him to sign and send by fax. Crap.


The person who asked for this order with whom I’ve clashed in the past got angry at the printing press people, why it’s taking them so long and we already asked a whole week ago. I kept quiet. Shit. I hope it gets sorted out very soon.


I really seriously thought I had finished with it, and crossed it off on my done pile.


The people I mess up for the most, I keep messing up for. I always forget their things, screw something up. They expect me to be incompetent for their orders and I don’t know why, I persistently forget stuff like this for them, and justify their image of me. I don’t know why!!! Although she seems to think I’m stupid, now that pisses me off. Stupid I most certainly am not. Forgetful, dazed, and just plain puzzled yea. I wish I could come off that freaking cloud I’m on.


Of course I was late again this morning, 15 mins. Sigh. I took it easier thinking since the 1st is a holiday, it’s ALWAYS calmer the day before, less traffic as people take the day off. NO. IT. WASN’T. WHAT. THE. F. So late I was. AAAAARGh, but it wasn’t just me.

Oh she’s still talking about the printing people.
