This is getting ridiculous.

I wasn't in the office ten minutes before things started going to shit. Again. Rescheduled four clients, called several more with politely threatening messages ("pay up or we don't do the work for you"), and was told to reschedule at least six more. Then I spent ten very frustrating minutes with the carpet installer ("What do you mean, you're not going to do the carpet you said you would do?").

Now everyone's in a complete flap about payments and bypassing the system we have in place, which means I'm in the dark about which payments have been processed and which haven't, although everyone seems to think I'll still magically know even when I'm not told what's going on.

Jesus H. Christ.

I can't wait for this week to be over.

I give up.

The carpet guy is refusing to do the installs until we pay him. We can't pay him because the Accounts Payable person isn't here. I have to reschedule another fucking carpet anyway for tomorrow because the ass-hatted carpet guy doesn't understand the basic concept of scheduling.

So client A) is having his carpet done six hours late, and client B) is being pushed back a whole day, supposing he can clear his schedule for us.

:::ETA:::

Oooh, fun! We're missing materials for client A)! Excitement abounds.

Repeat to self:I am not allowed to beat the carpet guy to death with his own carpet. Bloodstains are a bitch to get out, and then we'd have to pay for the carpet. I am not allowed to beat the carpet guy to death with his own carpet. I am not allowed to beat the carpet guy to death with his own carpet.

I'm a little tired of fixing the constant fuck-ups that have been happening around here due to everyone being stressed out of their minds and there being no money. I spend all my time fixing shit, and then people are surprised when my work isn't done. Grah!

I really, really wish I didn't have such a good work ethic (Action Woman would be so disappointed in me). I wish my work ethic allowed me to not care about how much work I'm going to leave undone when I leave this job on Friday.

The carpet guys just got lost going to the install.
