Sorry, just have to let out some rage. My clients have failed me. All month long, my customers have been pledging orders by today. All but 2 went on vacation yesterday, and so now, I will end the year at. . . 99.73% of goal. Honestly, I would rather end the year at 82% then to come that fucking close, only to have it come up that short.

I'm am so fucking pissed off now.

I know exactly how that feels, we are going to be about that close as well.

I spent the year cultivating my work-related cynicism. As a result, if enything gets done, I am over quota. As if I gave a shit.

Yeah, what pisses me off most are the 2 incentives for 100%.

a one-week all-expense paid trip to Cancun,

and a $2,000 bonus.

Fuck 'em. Fuck 'em in the ear!

What does the few hundredths of a percent come to, dollar wise? How far total short are you? What business are you in, anyway?

I am going to be about $12,000 short (yes, my goal is that high). Hell, if it was a few hundred dollars, I'd buy the stuff myself (I am in publishing- reference to be exact).

What a pain in the ass. Sorry, man!

That is a lot, and probably not one where I can swing any business your way.

I guess I'll have to have some models come over and do a photoshoot this weekend. Those always cheer me up. And Absinthe too. I drank 3 glasses at lunch today, and I don't feel the slightest bit guilty about being buzzed at work this afternoon.

Gee, I wonder why?

Looks like the pancakes worked both
ways today.

They start the day right.

Best to ignore reality.

It's so damned relative, anyway.

Relatively speaking.

Relativistically.

Generally, or specially/restrictedly?

General is too vague.

That depends upon whom you ask.
