Its currently 3:20am now... The project I should have gotten aproval on Friday, has still not decided what they are going to do... I still don't have complete drawings... I am quite honestly running out of time to make the show happen... I don't mean running out of days... I have stopped thinking in terms of days... I am now thinking of hours... As in there are 24 hours in a day when work could theoretically be accomplished... One would think that knowing I'll be working 24/7 untill the 30th when it will go out the door, I'd be tucked into my nice warm bed right now, stocking up on sleep I'll need later... God knows I'd be happier there... Problem is I can't sleep... I've been laying there for the last hour since waking up, mentally doing scheduleing, and trying to figure out where everything will go once it is built untill it ships out... I've been mentally scheduleing labor, when I don't even know if those people are available... I'm trying to find a space big enough that is heated so I can take care of the paint projects, and I certianlly have no hope of finding that tonight... My brain is running full tilt and I can't get it to just take a break... This is the reason I decided to get out of the "art" end of the business... My corperate clients give me enough time to do a project... When they decide they want something, then they make money available, and generally don't screw around like this...
I don't mind a little stress now and again... In my mind a little stress is often a good thing... It gets people "up" mentally... This however is not a little stress... This is the kind of stress that used to keep me in bars late at night, just so I could sleep more than 3-4 hours that night...
To sum up.... This Sucks!
I swear I should get my head examined for decideing to take on "art" again...
