Stalling

Why hello there!

Man things have been crazy lately. I am starting to feel a bit stressed.   I am supposed to have these videos done for two of my clients by tomorrow night. But they kept changing what they wanted. So originally it was doable but after the changes it wasn't.  They also made a big deal it was taking so long (that's because they don't know what they want!). I didn't want to tell them it was going to take longer so I just figured I would work my butt off last week on my day off. That was until I got called in to cover someones all day shift on my day off. I shouldn't have taken it but I did. Now I am behind and they are anxious to see the final product. I think I am going to be up late tonight working on this. I should be doing it now too but I am so frustrated with it. This one video is sooo boring I don't know how to make it more entertaining. It was his own script- sort of he mostly just decided to wing it. He has so much technical information though so its hard to decide what is important and what isn't and I am so bored of listening to him.

These people are great people and they are fun to visit with. But man its just getting tough. Oh my! Last week we went to meet with them and when we went to leave we ran out of gas in their driveway. He drove to the gas station and bought us some gas to get us up the street a bit so we could totally fill up. That was embarassing. It was very kind of him. I want to give him something spectacular in his videos but the content is just not that spectacular.

So my brother left for Portugal yesterday. He is going there for a month with his girlfriend and her family. Pretty crazy. In about three more weeks the man and I are going to Quebec with my parents and my other brother. I can't wait. I want to get away for a bit.

My grandma is visiting from out of town right now. It would be cool if she was just coming over for dinner but this is awful, when she comes to visit for a while she drives me crazy. She is the nosiest person ever. And she loves to share the gossip. She analyzes our neighbours loud enough that they can hear. At the grocery store some man was trying to decide on something with some juice he was looking at so he was taking a bit. She laughed at him and said "BEEP BEEP". My sister also has IBS so she took a stool softener one night before bed. I am just starting antibiotics which upset my stomach so the next day the too of us had the bathroom tied up. When my uncle calls she tells him because we have a house full of diarrhea she won't have time to get washed before church. Who says that? and I just had to go a lot I didn't have diarrhea that was so out of line! Same with the beep beep. She always lectures us kids too like she is in charge or like she needs to baby sit. If my parents aren't home we have to answer to her what time we will be home etc. We are adults some of us in our twenties, we don't need to answer to her. She has been told that before too by my parents but she still does it. She lectured my younger brother the other day saying because he ate chips he didn't eat his dinner so he can't eat anymore junk food...
He did eat his dinner and her and I argued about it for a bit. When my mom jumped in and said he did eat it she looked at him and said "there now, well that's a good boy. You're being a good boy when you eat your dinner" HE IS A TEEN HE IS NOT A FIVE YEAR OLD "that's a good boy"? 
*Sigh* I think it is partially because she is aging and partially because she is lonely. All her kids live in different cities hours away and my grandpa passed away a few years ago. I try to stay calm but man its frustrating


That's all my venting for now. I should get back to editing before I go into work soon...

Talk to you soon! hopefully not so far apart this time.
