Riding the Wave

My Afternoon

Despite February getting off to a bit of a rocky start, I’m done complaining about it. Quite frankly, I’m stick of hearing myself complain and sweating stuff I can’t change right now. Yeah, I’ve got shit to do, yeah, I don’t have a functioning printer (I’ve delegated this into the trusty hands of Canon), and yah, lack of creativity might be a bit of an issue, but seriously, there’s eff-all I can do about it without forcing myself into some fake sense of productivity. I’ve tried and I’ve just ended up more frustrated.

I’ve always said the brain is like a muscle. You need to work it out constantly for it to stay in shape, but, like any muscle, it also needs rest and you need to listen for the cues.  So, we’re resting at the coffee shop riding out this rough wave until we find our balance. It’ll come. Always does.

Dear February,

As per the memo received from January, I’m sure you are aware this is a big month for modernemotive. With a very tight budget and strict deadlines, we need to ensure everyone is on board so that all deliverables are on track. I know you met with March to see if some projects could be shifted over there, but it is simply not feasible.

After a performance review with 2010, we both request you have a pep talk with your team. We need to get all projects back on track so it is imperative that all printers and creative juices are working at full capacity. They are the core of this project and we will fail without them.

I understand and appreciate your team is feeling rather broken and burnt out as of late, so we have stocked the supply cupboards with some band-aids that we advise be used immediately. We hope this will help remedy any issues they are facing.

Your cooperation is much appreciated in this matter.

Regards,
Adele
