(Your) Worst Week Of My Life

I have a gruesome seven days in prospect.

Last week I was swamped in the organisation for my company's quarterly member meeting (for 100 delegates) in London. I've had to badge the attendees but didn't realise we'd run out of the laminated pouches for the badging. Normally I'd order them from our supplier but they don't open over the weekend and the six alternatives didn't have the right ones in stock. In the end I had to buy a type which required me to make all the holes for the landyard clip by hand. I got most of the laminating done but then the badging machine broke which required a trip into the office over the weekend.

Also this week I've had the writing, editing, designing, chasing copy, replacing lost stories etc for our company magazine. Worst thing is that I lost the cover story at the last minute so the front cover is just a photo with an expanded contents section. You'd have to be dumb to believe it's supposed to look like it does. The who;e thing was supposed to be printed and ready for the meeting but I'm still missing approval for two stories so I've missed the deadline. Hopefully an on-line version will be sufficient on Monday.

So to this coming week...

Monday: London conference
Tuesday: London conference
Wednesday: 0915 collect keys for our new rented property before commencing a house move
Thursday: Completing the house move and ensuring our old place is clean enough for us to get our deposit back by 1500.
Friday: Review meeting with the company CEO

Somehow we've got to get the house packed up in the meantime and to organise all the change of address details.

I'm knackered just thinking about it.

This is my worst week - what's yours?

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn.

Oh I'm on deathrow, and my last appeal was rejected.

And I just found out the prison kitchen has run out fried chicken for my last meal.

So I'm going to get a tuna sandwich.

And because of political correctness, and to appease Muslims. I'm going to be stoned to death, whilst listening to a Barry Manilow CD.

Sucks to be me.

I think Tuumble still wins.

I was going to try to contribute to this, but I think Tuumble wins no matter what so far.

Yeh fair does, I hate making laminate badges.

A prolonged violent death is far less of a problem.

I actually got the sentence for photocopying only on one side of the paper.

In my opinion they've been lenient.

I hope you get caught not cleaning your mug at work, and taking excessive post its.

They'll hang draw and quarter you.

Pah! Easy time. They breed 'em tough down here in the valleys. What they breed with, is a whole different psychology paper.

Saturday found out my dad was dying
Monday my marriage broke up
Wednesday found out my book was no longer being published.

Sorry was it meant to be funny!?

That sucks, you have my deepest sympathy.

Ah man you get over these things - it happened 11 years ago

That is a f**king long week in fairness.

Did the book ever appear?
