Get It Together

I pride myself in being a person who is organized, responsive and able to follow-through. I pay attention and very rarely let things fall through the cracks. So, I get extremely frustrated when I deal with people who are not like that. At least, when their carelessness or unresponsiveness directly effects me in a negative way.

For the last month or so I have been dealing with a situation like this that continues to be a thorn in my side. It's art career-related and I don't want to get into the specifics. But basically, because of what I perceive as incompetency, I do not intend to be involved with this organization in the future and have even, on multiple occasions, felt like backing out right now.

It is driving me nuts!

No one is perfect; I know that. But there are basic steps that anyone can take to come across as even slightly on-the-ball.

1. Return phone calls and emails

2. Set appointments and keep them

3. Have your paperwork in order

4. Listen to my requirements and follow-through

I think the above list is pretty reasonable and realistic. Especially when I am contributing my art to you and not feeling very confident that you are making much of an effort to sell it! If you can't manage to do that, maybe you should consider a different line of work. Just a thought.

Weather Perspective of the Day:

This unusual weather pattern that is causing cold and rain in the last part of May is freaking all us Californians out and causing us to bitch much more then usual.

Yes, it sucks. But I say, Get Over It!

Accept the reality and deal. The weather forecast for the long, holiday weekend is sunny and WARM. And we'll rejoice and appreciate it even more after having survived the torrential downpour that blew through yesterday. So, Shut Up about the weather. It's boring.
