exhausted.

in the last 2 weeks drove to Texas (left at 2amto be there for 7am) worked 4 days and drove back (left at 7pm to be home for midnight and back at my normal office for 6am next morning).

yesterday and today drove to middle of absolute nowhere Louisiana and back. twice.
3-1/2 hour drive each way but feels like 12 because there's nothing there.

Found out when I walked into the office at midnight tonight that a colleague and friend (although we weren't close) had passed due to a massive heart attack. I didn't get to see him a lot due to our different schedules, but every time our paths crossed there was always a handshake and a hello exchanged. What can you say...if you needed something done by his group, he or his guys would get it done and he was always a stand up guy.

Struggling right now...really, really struggling. In the past 2 weeks I have had a good majority of my account goals for the year (65-70%) go in the toilet. Two of my clients that we responded on pulled their RFPs back. One of those may come back to life. Yesterday we lost a major project on my largest account that would have met my goal for the year and then some. I am not sure how I am going to replace that revenue. While most of this was out of my control and due to the client's budgets or another company undercutting and buying the project, my gut feeling tells me that I should start looking for a new job. The sucky thing is I really like this company.

tired.

after 5 months of the worst recession in company history (entire oilfield has been in the shitter since January) caused us to lose a very large portion of our workforce (110 layoffs/guys quitting), we are suddenly slammed with work again.

last couple weeks have been busy, last 2 days insane.
hopefully this is a trend and not just a blip.

Manners and generally being polite is such a hard thing for some people on vacation to understand, evidently. 0 regard for other guests (I know most think us lowly employees don't deserve either, I expect the crap) and their time. You're going to wait until I'm finished conducting the survey you so rudely interrupted and continue to barge into, wasting more time from the guests I'm with. Your time is not more important than theirs.

My worklife is a complete fucking mess. First, I guess I should tell you about my new "colleagues." There's the hot chick. This broad is borderline supermodel, yet she is as dumb as a box of fucking rocks. About the only thing she's capable of is checking herself in the mirror and adjusting her makeup and hair. That is literally her entire fucking day. The other one is smart, maybe one of the smartest people that I've ever met, but god damn is she hideous. If the other one is a 10, this broad is a minus 10. Half the time, I'm not so sure that she's even showered, and I damned sure there's no shaving of any kind going on. I'm pretty sure she's a lesbian since she purrs like a kitten every time we go past a fucking hardware store. If these two aren't bad enough, there's the crown jewel of the company--a god damned hippy throwback who is never not stoned. And he insists on bringing his fucking dog to work. Has some kind of a therapy card, so it's covered under the disabilities act. Every fucking day I have to look at this huge dog walk around half-stoned from the second-hand smoke he inhaled on the way to work. Hell, sometimes I even think it’s trying to talk with its constant bellowing. Also, both of them are constantly hungry, requiring multiple stops to McDonalds and Burger King, every single fucking day. So that's my life these days. I drive these fucktards around in a van, and we solve mysteries and shit.
