Postings have been few, lean, and far in between these days. It's largely the product of post-vacation workload. I have a new person starting next Monday. Once he gets up to speed, things should be better. That means I should see some relief in... December. Yay.

Back in June, I turned down a job offer from a high risk digital music company. I still do some "industry-experting" for them on the side, and last week, they asked me if I could have breakfast with their venture capitalists. It sounded fun, and I was glad to be of service.

The resulting email chain mentioned "Monday, September 19" four times in the five notes. So, today, I went to the restaurant at 8am, and waited. Forty minutes later, I left the restaurant, went to work, and dropped my guy a note on top of those five other notes, saying that there must have been a miscommunication. He replied, "Oh, I thought we were talking about Tuesday! Can you do it tomorrow?"

Normally, that kind of thing wouldn't piss me off. Things happen. Everyone's busy, right? But this week, I'm EXTRA busy, and I really could have used those forty minutes if my guy wasn't going to be using them.

Suffice to say, I will not be able to meet the venture capitalists for breakfast tomorrow.
