  • This is really just a rant about the dumb things I do to myself

    overbooked

     

    OMG I’m so annoyed!!! So I worked this promo a few months ago for a well-known brand and I did a really good job. They were doing another event this weekend so the lady called me to see if I would come back and do another one. I liked it a lot so I would have said yes anyway but when she said 10-hour shifts at $20 an hour I said yes without even asking any questions. What a dumb freakin idea! I was already booked to shoot Saturday and Sunday this week. Being me, I thought I could handle it. Most days I think I’m like wonder woman (oh how I wish!) and that I can do a million things all at once, no problem. Not to mention I worked direct tv for long hours yesterday and the day before. Since the promo was supposed to be today through Saturday, I figured I would work everyday and then shoot Sunday. The only over lapping day was Saturday so I thought I would just leave straight from work and show up a bit late. I shoot fast anyway so I thought I could catch up with them. Well I got up at 5 this morning to be to Park City by 7. I drove all the way there and was almost late because my paper with the address blew out the car window. Right when I got there I called the onsite manager and he said there had been a mix up. The event isn’t until tomorrow! I have to come back Friday, sat, Sunday. That means I have to get up super early to make the 2 hour drive, work all day in the hot sun, then leave straight from there and go to my shoots and try to look fresh and beautiful, then drive another 2 hours to get home in the middle of the night. When that is all done I have to wake up way early in the morning and do it all over again :-/ FML why did I do this to myself?
