I Am Fu@#ked!!

It started out with the ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ drapery workroom showing up
at my fave clients house. 

AGAIN!!!!

• My fave client, who by the way is a wonderful candidate for me as a love interest.

Of course the roman blinds that 'Shop of Horrors' brought back
were definitely not up to my standards and not up to my clients. 

I could tell in his eyes and body language.

The woman from the shop/workroom just URKS ME!!!

There is a 'tension' between us.

.....Could it be that I think that she is inept 

and she probably knows I feel that way?

AND she had to completely remove the draperies
in the same room because the fabric had a snag
and were not made as per my instruction -
stacked on the wall.
Not inside the slider ...  

thank you very much!!!!!

But I work for a company that doesn’t want to hear
about my standards.
I get this from the owner;
“ Did the customer complain?” 

(:O HUH???)
But you know and I know.......
you can tell when it’s not perfect
and a semi conscious  client knows it too.
So I get back to work -

the phone is ringing off the wall for me
with ridiculous tedious bull crap problems
that should be handled by customer service.
I mean stupid stuff.

...but once a client has you on the phone.....

Now while the phones are ringing 

and I am being paged CONSTANTLY 

even though I have asked my calls to be sent to my voice-mail
I mean it, it was like someone was goofing on me.

(I was in the middle of a crazy and bad dream of sorts)

The phone never rings off the wall for me!

But, on this day it did!

During all this chaos
and I mean it gets crazy, 

you would think 

that I worked in an ER.

I am trying to work on
and finish a presentation
for a client that is coming in at 4:30 PM,
and it is now 2:15pm -  
which leaves me 2 hours. OMG!!!!
Let the freak out begin!!!!!!
(and yes, I tried to reschedule the client)

I always get nervous before a presentation to begin with.
It is some sort of stage fright I get.....
but once I am on the stage I am fine.

The client loved it all,
and I sold the entire concept to her-
including the window treatments.

Big Smile :)
Then Frown :(
After she left I went over my figures and...

I F@#$%*ed up
on the window treatment numbers.
Now I have to face the music today at some point.....
I don’t have an excuse except for
I haven’t written a drapery order with rings,
poles, brackets, finials and medallions in a while.
Remember ?
I have had the ‘window lady from the dark side‘ at work do it.
And now, after fighting to get my own workroom,
and the capability to write my own orders....I do this.
What should I do?
I think I will call my workroom and see if they can work with me.....
I’ m thinking.
The design wheels are turning.

I will probably pay this difference directly to my workroom

out my own pocket,

I just can't deal with anymore attitude from my company.
