bad day.

today has been fucked from the get-go.

it all started last night when i was told i had to check my e-mail late into the evening to review some creative that needed to get approved.

the creative arrived at like 8:55pm. lost came on at 9:00pm. i did what any 28-year-old bearded underpaid LOST fan would do. i rushed through it and didn't find any mistakes. three other people had reviewed it before me and one more was reviewing after me, so i figured i was totally safe.

the person after me uncovered that we had built the files from a previous version and tons of shit was wrong.

WHOOOPS. now i'm an idiot.

granted, there were three other people before me that could/should have caught it, but i feel mostly responsible.

truth is, it's been hard to focus in my job lately because i'm being spread so thin. i'm now on FOUR client teams and i have different supervisors for each team, none of which seem to have any clue what i'm doing elsewhere. a recipe for getting yourself spread too thin, if you ask me.

anyway, my boss hasn't logged on yet, so i'm waiting for that inevitable lecture about how we're supposed to catch these things and how i fucked up. i got that awful nervous feeling in my stomach too. love it.

on top of all this, i think we're about to get even more bad financial news in the coming weeks - so if i manage to survive the inevitable layoff (hard to know what my odds are here), it just means that i'm going to get spread even more thin.

my job is quickly turning from something i really enjoyed and got excited about to something that is bumming me out for 9-10 hours a day.

at least it's almost friday which is almost the 3-day weekend. if i can survive the next two days, i can survive anything.
