OH MY GOODNESS.

Yesterday I nearly had a heart attack at work. Not literally, but figuratively.

In a nutshell, I was told I have to devise 12-month content calendars for every single client. This means I have to devise blog article topics and titles for every client, 12 months out.

For one client, this translates to 30 articles per month, or a total of 360 articles for 12 months. WTF?!?!?! Are you kidding me????????????

I was/am FLOORED. They wanted me to come up with 360 different article topics and titles for this one client?!?! I nearly flipped out. I told the Director above me who had told me this that 360 articles is a bit daunting. Then I mentioned my concern regarding repetition. I mean, I have to come up with 360 UNIQUE article titles, and I cannot repeat one single one!

This is/was insane to me. And talk about pushing me over the edge into the land of insanity. So, I pushed back a little bit and said that 360 articles is a LOT. He then backed off and said, OK, let's do this on a quarterly basis. So come up with 90 titles for the quarter.

STILL, I am beside myself yet again at work with the work I am being asked to do. So, this is my focus right now. Come up with article titles for every single client for the quarter. For some clients, this amounts to only 30 articles or so. Others, it's more.

I think they want to push me out the door and make me quit. Or make me want to quit, because I DO.
