It's going to be one of those days. I can tell.

It isn't even 9am yet, and I've already been told that I should have had all the documentation for new artwork done ages ago and now have to do it all, right now. Never mind that apparently only Sydney and QA had anything to do with it and left everybody else out of the loop. Never mind that everybody has been running around like headless chooks because of an impending months-long shutdown that now isn't going to happen, meaning that I've been twiddling my thumbs for months now because the first thing that everybody drops as irrelevant once things get a little busy is document review.

And I've also been told by Production that they are now hopelessly confused because suddenly they've got time to think about what's going on - and now they don't know what was going on. Because they can't cope with stress. There's internal production office politics involved in that second one as well, but I'm not going to bother with the details since the only relevant detail is that certain senior members of the production team are having trouble working well with eachother, let alone anybody else. I would love to bash a couple of management heads together.

Sigh. Bring on Christmas.

Edit: It's now 9.20am, and I've just been told by Darth Chaos that it's Slap an Irritating Colleague Day...
