M. Need to vent
C. Go for it
M. I've been putting in 12 hour days with zero breaks and I'm fried.
C. I could imagine. What's on your mind?
M. I'm f’ing pissed
C. What about?
M. I'm pissed that C from Ax didn't get back to me. Makes me nervous that she might not respond.
C. The fact that you've had two meetings is a positive, right?
M. I suppose
C. What else?
M. I'm pissed that it took me so long to put the info together for Cal. This flustered me. It took me a long time to do this and it required lots of edits. F!
C. I can imagine you felt the pressure of getting it out and felt flustered because it was such a hassle to put it together.
M. That's right. Plus, I'm nervous about how the self-tour will go.
C. Well, the good news is that you are in the running. You were afraid you were out earlier in the week, right?
M. You're right. I was.
C. What else?
M. As much as I enjoyed the conversation, the meeting with Ant was a f’ing waste of time. And I have to admit that it always bothers me when someone says not interested.
C. Fair enough, but even you concluded they were not a fit, right?
M. Yeah and I told them so
C. You enjoyed your conversation with Joe, right?
M. I did. He's a great guy.
C. What else?
M. The fact that I've been working nonstop has been frustrating because I had to produce quality content and in retrospect my email to C at Ax could have been better.
C. Not everything is going to be A+ work. An A- now and then is okay.
M. I suppose
C. What else?
M. Feeling discombobulated
C. How so?
M. I still have so much to do
C. Like?
M. Need to put together a proposal for I3 program completely from the ground up.
C. What else?
M. I need to:
- Survey
- AX listing
- PB pb
- Organize desktop files
- I3 proposal
- Hub training
- Prep D meeting
- Pre-work
- Recreate HPB
C. That is a lot
M. I have been working weekends for what feels like forever. I feel like I have had zero downtime and don't see that changing for the immediate future.
C. I know. I'm not going to tell you to take it easy. You need to continue to grind. No question about it.
M. You're right. It is what it is.
C. Also, it's better that you're busy than the alternative, right?
M. Yes. You're right.
C. Did this help?
M. It did. It helped me get stuff out of my system and put it in perspective.
C. Great. Keep grinding. Foot on the f’ing throat! You have a great product. If I'm not mistaken, you felt great about the demo with K, right?
M. I did. You're right.
C. She had no reason to be positive, right?
M. You're right
C. You had a positive reaction from C at AX, right?
M. I did
C. And SE was also very positive, right?
M. True. Thanks for reminding me of this. Definitely helps.
C. Great to hear. Have a good evening.
M. Thanks. You too.
