Double standard?
If you listen to what everyone says, media is a self-selling department. That is, if you're successful, you had good releases. When you're not successful though, people wonder why you can't sell product.
This past weekend I missed a ton of revenue. My backroom is cleaned out, so all the product is out there. Is it ineffective salespeople (caused partially by my own floor leadership?)? Or, something else?
For sure, the near burn-down of the building didn't help. We sparked 7 electrical fires in different locations on Sunday, electricians told us to shut the building down. We could've stayed open as it turns out the power they needed to turn off wasn't quite as far ranging as they said. Regardless, several other departments managed to have decent days, so that isn't it.
I'm frustrated, but I've got too much Day After Thanksgiving (Green Friday) planning to do to worry about it too much. That, and I'm struggling to stay afloat in classes, relaunch CGO, and hang out with Helen (who has a birthday in 10 days that I need to prepare for).
Yup, life is busy as always.
