I broke my neck in 4 places, cold SUX ABSOLUTELY!!!!
1 week back into working out, making such a difference why did I ever stop.
(injuries duh, shoulder going clicky clicky and not helping my surfing much)
trying to do more leg stuff
took 2 days off last week was making a bunch of mistakes at work and my boss was saying I hadn't taken a day off in the entire year besides doctor visits. Took those 2 days off and didnt do sh!t! and it was amazing.
havent surfed in 2 months plus been broke as sh!t going back to school, pissing me off because everyone wanted me to go back to school and now everyone asking why im broke. Spending my money on a piece of paper that says im allowed to move upwards smh

And you call me an asshole? Pull it together amigo.
Had a few days off, hit the home gym, ate good. Burned off a lil steam.
Upset I didn't get to see all the family I wanted to.
Change of plans suddenly and I had locked in with GF fam. We have been doing Xmas separate last few years and people think we are crazy, I think it helps us stay sane!

I just had the worst Monday...what a piece of sh!t
my poor children....

I kicked in the front panel of my dishwasher and am still cleaning up mayonnaise
Deep breaths (and how annoying is THAT advice, amirite?)
Also, I nearly resigned my job this morning because my stupid (but really smart and father like mentor figure) of a manager kept saying he wasn't taking a $150K deal I closed because the unit-rate was a little low. And this was the same client that gave us the fetch.ai tip that both me and my boss (and some of you) made thousands of dollars on. So they are going to TRIPLE their spend with me in a single quarter, and my boss wanted to dig in his heels and demand a unit-rate increase. And I've been arguing with him for 2 weeks about it now. And in my lightly to moderately unbalanced psyche, I was all set to threaten resignation if he didn't grant me my deal and GTFO of my way. He claims he "knew I would say/do something rash like that so that's why he "let me wear him down".
But it means two things: I'm still crazy, and I still know how to get what I need from those that supposedly are running this clown car. Actually, it may work in my favor to keep management and the C-Suite thinking I'm a bit unstable even as I continue to close the f&%k out of deals. I want their mantra to be "lets do everything we can to keep subway happy, mentally stable, and producing like has has been for 14+ years" and if takes a little lunacy to achieve that, well, I'm game
and just like that, the signed contract just hit my inbox for the $153K. 3% commish, plus a 2.5% Q1 kicker, not a bad deal. It's pennies in the grand scheme, but, I fought harder for this $8K than any other deal I've had to fight for. The internal battles are always the most frustrating. I have no problem haggling endlessly with clients. that's my job.... But when your own mangers are getting in your way, that sh!t gets me livid, no matter how much I care about them as friends and colleagues.
work is fuckin me up to this am.. had to work the last 2 weekends in a row because people cant provide feedback in a timely manner. im coupled with the worst creative director ive ever met and shes worthless on a project where i actually need some help cracking this puzzle. when i do finally get her on the phone i wind up with more questions than i had in the first place. im kind of screwing the pooch on this project, in my own head, and unsure what the solution is. meanwhile everyone else is so chill about it but its due in 2 days.
just keep telling myself 10 more working days until vacation then fook these people for 2 weeks.

I LOATHE being forced to rely on people with either no brains or no work ethic, in order to get my job done. And often, it's some hideous combination of stupidity and laziness. Throw in a little willful obstinacy because some support staff types resent us high rolling sales people, they have their petty little resentful ways to slow our days down, and, yeah, i feel your pain.
My anxiety and professional trauma pays your goddamn salary and benefits, so fukk off and get me that proposal an hour ago
Ok I'm editing not to remove my wildly elitist statement above, but just to clarify I treat all of my minions with true respect, decency, and appreciation, even when they are being fukking retarded

i really need to work on my patience before i get myself fired right before Xmas 
called this lady twice today around noon and no call back, just looking for explanation to a note she gave that I dont have the material to accomplish.
i wish i was in a position to "fail up" like these vampires i work with. fook - there are easier ways to make money.

Feels that way at times. I mean, what I do and sell for a living is not rocket science, but it just amazes me how far stupid people can sometimes stumble on up in this world, and need constant schooling, cajoling, reeducating, reminding, help with arithmetic etc. so yeah, I feel ya
i got a client, runs a 20 million dollar a year media shop, I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to remind him there are in fact 52 weeks in the year. It’s staggering.

Lost it today big time! Realized a ton of sh!t and will not make ends meet after January.
Told wife who almost died after 3 chemo treatments and wants to live in Maine. I work P/T
as property manager (flexible). Got a2ndshift job that pays well and then her legs/feet ballooned up to where she's immobile.
Has to resign because I cant leave her on the couch for 8 hours!

Huge meeating this morning. Woke up and laptop was dead. So fun trying to go through an IRD without your slide deck
Even more fun when the SVP of engineering decides to randomly join this call. I need to go workout or run a few miles because I am jacked out of my mind on adrenaline. Made it work but that was mentally taxing!

Can erBB help underdog? He's a 17 year veteran of this place, and as far as my murky and totally unreliable memory goes, he is always a positive voice on here.
