Who Rests on a Sunday...

Today, while it's still Sunday, I've been going full steam ahead on the PR thing. No time off for moi. This week is set to be crazed at the 9to5, but with the deadlines I have upcoming on the PR front, this gal is up for lots of coffee, less sleep than my already low 4-5 hrs, etc. Seriously, I need a clone.

I met with the new client on Friday - great group of guys - really jazzed about that side of things. The band is VERY talented, great look, etc. and their management/label is top notch. So, yesterday, I went to take care of the mundane things I really hadn't had time to focus on (Mailbox, banking, corporate stuff) and first on the agenda was a stop at the Mailboxes, Etc. we have in town...

Well, first things first - the reason I liked them is so that I can get my demos/promos, etc. right away - they can sign for everything and I have 24 hr. access to my mailbox. Makes life ALOT easier for me. I spoke with this fabulous lady late Thursday night and she told me that they had a box available and I could come in Saturday and take care of it.

Saturday I go to the local MBE and there is quite the questionable group of characters both in front of it and milling about the lobby. Perhaps its my legal background, perhaps its knowing what I know about some of those establishments, but already I wasn't ready to mess around. Plus the older *ahem* gentleman at the counter really pissed me off. Why - because not only did I get the up and down sizing up look from him, but I also got an attitude when I inquired about the box. I was dressed nicely - sorry - no daisy dukes, messy hair, look like I rolled out of bed look like the rest of the characters that were hanging out there. Perhaps that's why he felt to talk to me like I was a 2 year old child. I asked him about the box that was available. His response "Honey - I don't HAVE a box available. We have virtual mailboxes".

My alarm went up and said "Hell no!". First of all - virtual box where I have to deal with this person during THEIR hours and I don't have 24 hr. access. I. Don't. Think. So. Also - does it say Stupid on my forehead -VIRTUAL MAIL BOX. Yeah - try to tell that to the Court, legal entities, etc - No, that's my virtual mailbox. WTF people. Who the hell is HE kidding? Yeah, so the MBE in Altamonte - not my fave place. I think I'll just stick with the local post office. Much easier than dealing with that crowd of "characters".

So - now I feel like my head is spinning. I've got 400+ things to do and not enough hours in the day to do it - where to begin. On top of all the normal stuff we need to do for our clients, we also need new business cards, logo, new website, revisions to a business plan etc. Today we had a conference call with another client and was so into getting my to-do list done, I lost track of time. I had planned on going out after the call to get my yellow shoes from 9West. Oh well... not that I NEED more shoes, but I really really really really want these. And with Philly in 3 weeks, I'd like to have them for my client meetings. *sigh* Perhaps 9West will send out another coupon and soon.

So now, I'm off to go back to my to-do list and will catch up the pod-casts, delete stuff off the TiVo, etc. And perhaps I will do a little cooking, just to clear out the head. It's a good thing that I'm finally taking action on this PR thing... I'm just going to have to find the time...
