Work has been overwhelming as of late thanks to one group of customer who has been requesting to meet almost every other fucking day.
They will be getting their keys to their place next week and there are still so many details that have yet to be confirmed because they have just been postponing the initial meet ups at the start.
Here I am, on the way over, still blissfully unaware about how long the meeting will take, but also expecting the worst!
I met them on Saturday with my boss, that meeting ended up lasting for 4 hours! We met at 10am and I was only able to leave the place at 2pm, I had made lunch plans with a friend for 2pm, thinking I would probably end at 1pm, and then just linger around Nex for a a while as I waited for him, I ended up having to push our meeting back by half an hour.
Thankfully, my boss was nice enough to actually drop me off at Nex after our meeting and I met up with my friend for Joji Diner.
This was at 2.40pm-ish, we had about a 20 minutes wait, so it was a late lunch for us, I was feeling especially hungry because the meeting was so long.
I got myself a Banana Shake, not a great option because it doesn't help quench the thirst, the drink was also just not very cold, so I don't know what's up with that. I don't think there is a lot of ice cream in this drink, mainly frozen bananas and milk.
We ordered an appetizer to share, this was calamari, pretty good flavour!
And then my main course, pancakes, eggs, sausage and potatoes, the pancakes may look small, but they were extremely filling. I couldn't finish it, and my friend also ordered another pancake dish, that proved to be equally filling.
The flavours were great and it was objectively a very good meal, but the pancakes fucked the both of us up because I was so tired after that from the fullness of it all, and I was already feeling mentally drain from the 4 hours meeting prior so it didn't really help.
We then watched Superman together at Nex because I had nothing else to do at home, movie was pretty good, but by the end of it, I was honestly so tired and full I just had not much mood to talk, I got myself a drink from Fruce and then we headed home. That was Saturday, pretty eventful, it was shitty work in the morning to early afternoon and then a much needed hang out with a friend after to balance it out. I ended up getting home at round 8pm.
After this meeting, the clients actually texted me again on Monday morning and requested to have a meeting at night. I barely had anytime to process the changes we had discussed on Saturday, it was fucking ridiculous, but I agreed to it anyway because we really had to settle all the drawings.
They told me they will see me at 5.45pm, I acknowledged their message and at 5.45pm, they told me they were on their way over.
They only arrived at 6.20pm.
They did apologize for being late, so I told them it was fine, even though it wasn't and I was really quite annoyed, we got started and the meeting lasted for 2 and a half fucking hours! It took so fucking long, I was so exhausted at the end of it, my boss had something on so he conveniently missed the missing and I had to deal with the clients on my own.
Fuck, I only left the office at 9pm!
And the VERY next day, the client reached out again and ask to meet me TODAY!
For Fuck Sake!
They cancelled last minute, so it has been pushed to tomorrow instead, I have so many meetings to deal with tomorrow that I had to postpone a housewarming with another friend.
My life right now would be so different if this project did not fucking exist! So fucking different, I would be so much happier and less stressed out right now, I hate it.
