Anxiety
I had a high level of anxiety and irritation going this afternoon. I wonder how much of it was from the constant noise through the morning. We did go to Cisco's to get away for a while and have some breakfast but we came back to yet more banging and banging and BANGING.
I got to work and most desperately needed to get into a studio to do a live commercial with a car dealership that pays me well to sell their cars. I waited and waited in the lobby along with others that were waiting for the one studio we could use. The boss, the good boss, the one I love, came up front and jokingly said, "Why is everyone just sitting around instead of working." I said, "Eat me." and he said, "Oh, the bloom is off the rose." Yes, this job didn't have that same thrill and enjoyment when I was under pressure to get this commercial done.
When there finally was 10 minutes I could squeeze into the studio, the guy I needed to talk to on the phone was busy and said, "call me back." yeah right. Hard to do with no studio time. Yes, I eventually got it done but it was an afternoon fraught with tension.
