Sales and Marketing people are annoying AF. Period. They have no concept of how to interact with humans without sounding like giant slime. Gah I hate how things are right now. Al lof our customers have started slowing down their business, which incidentally is stupid in my opinion because right now is when you need the most insight into your data and operations, but that's beside the point. But now after a good run, I am relegated to working with these people to 'create content'. What the fuck does that even mean? Go away.

Which leads to this wonderful thing; last night B wanted to set up the Christmas tree. What the fuck? According to her nothing matters and she can have Christmas now if she wants. No. No you can't. Long ago when I was seriously unemployed, I worked with this group that helped you not just in searching for a job, but how to be a better candidate. One of their things was that you had to get up, get dressed, and go into their offices every day. No sitting around in sweats. You showed up looking like you were going to the office, we worked on mock interviews, polishing resumes, making phone calls, setting up networking, etc. The point was to keep your energy and mind where it needed to be to keep you motivated. I am using that same technique now. If I start wearing pajamas all day and sleeping in, and setting up fucking christmas trees, it's just going to send me into a depression spiral. I need to have the stability of getting up, getting dressed, and going through the motions. Things have to apear as normal as they can so I don't lose my mind.

While we're on that topic, I want all of you to know, I am thinking about you as well. I hope everyone out there is doing their best at holding on right now. I know it can be tough, but we'll get through. Know that I am thinking about all of you.

Spent the morningworking with on eof my clients in TX, then the rest of the day on a class. That finished up around 4. Made dinner (pork roast), watched some tv, went to bed. Again, trying to keep a normal schedule so I don't go crazy.

Today I am working on 'content'. Let's see how that goes.
