somebody slap the dog shit outta me

Gahhhhhhhh. It's one of those weeks when I feel like I'm about to go apeshit -- too many things coming at me all at once. I feel like I've been playing catch-up all week, and every time I feel like I'm somewhat caught up, something else comes up. Plus, I have to take care of a lot of things for other editors when they're gone, and of course we've got about half the staff here this week. Every five minutes someone from production throws a stack of pages at me and says, "Well, it's Thingfish's project, but he's out today and it's a super rush, so here." I'm supposed to meet with my boss tomorrow to give her an update on where all my books stand -- which means that I have to figure all that out today or tomorrow, 'cause I don't have a clue right now.

Also, I'm supposed to meet tomorrow with an author about a freelance project I'm doing for him, and I ain't EVEN gonna be finished with that.

Sorry to bitch so much, but this IS LiveJournal, right right? Right right.
