Okay I thought I'd qualify why I'm writing this post - I'm okay with the deadlines, I find it exciting, I feel potent and adept.  There is one person in this house that doesn't... so I'm feeling the preassure from that aspect.  For those who know me, its a kind of "how the hell do I fucking calm him down" seriously, he's freaking out still working at 10pm and won't stop until one job is finished and kind of well.. definitely ((enter your expletive choice here)) feeling the heat.  I'm still going too yet I feel the energy of it, the absolute enjoyable OMG this is getting done.  He however doesn't.. male persepective maybe? who knows.. definite cry for help post here
 
 
Well my pressence here for starters will be sporadic over the next couple of weeks.
 
Australia - the movie is premiering all over Australia starting tonight in Sydney with the official stars.. yadda yadda, for us this means in one week we will be premiering it in our little international port of Cairns.. yes we'll be there, filming the opening so our stock footage and media releases will be fit for the fucking queen herself in 48 hrs post premier.
 
Hard work, long hours, lots to organise and when you consider the following? well its gets preassurised to a point of deadline hell.
 
Muster client - Various media releases including movie premier to attend to not including famil groups to the show which have to be rehearsed as well.  We have three films to edit for the CIT market, the FIT market and also the general public as well as agent presentations, print promo marketing, all collateral in place as of Friday.
 
Coach Client (also linked with transport to Muster client) _ bought out another large company now have to finalise ALL LOGO marketing promo, print, electronic and teaser ads for in you guessed it THREE days.  Along with ALL coach on board advertising.. AKA on board film, on bus logo/trailer decals yadda yadda as well as print deadlines that are coming up on Thursday.. eeek
 
Helicopter client - Web site needs to be complete for film premier, along with industry print, electronic marketing material for industry push (mining, electicity etc) as well as the FIT market.
 
Hotel - Starting xmas marketing push as well as web up date and cross promo with a resort that was finalised today (the concept not the the material)
 
Another Hotel ~ Finalising all print promo marketing shit.. fuck it goes on by the end of the month.  Just read above for what we need to complete. Fucking hurts my head to write...
 
Then there is the for me the work xmas party, the owners/girlfriends birthday in one week - need to organise food, entertainment etc.
 
Ohh should I mention I'm still working myself about 48 hours a week at my NEW job... fucking hell whats my name?
 
Then there is the real estate we're promoting, mini DVD film as well as web and print promo shit...
 
I think thats it.. most of the core is done yet we've never been in this situation where at the end of the year we have so many clients with work that needs doing so damn quickly.. we will, we know be working through christmas with bits and pieces which I have to say bodes well for the new year financially which I have to try and sort out this week as well.  Got a few meetings on, to finalise costings for all of the above collateral.

There's quite a lot of time and energy spent on it, so pulling it together in a format digestable by our clients is going to take me a few solid hours of head fucking around and shuffling... arggh my least favourite job going into a meeting with a sheet full of figures and then having at the end of it a HUGE mother fucker of a figure sit there like a hot smelly dog shit.. then have to go through again each individual costing so they understand it aint that much at all... ((I'm a master, hubby has been terrible at this shit for years... because I haven't got a problem with knowing what we're worth as a package I have no problem with NOT backing down on sending the invoice))
 
Anyway, in short BWA HA HAHAHAHA thats life for the next couple of weeks I guess, most mornings I dare say I'll have time to stir shit, give shit take shit and enjoy but mostly time is of the essence right now, about 7 months income is going to come to fruition so I'm focused and needed obviously to focus on that.

    Queenie ~ You want deadlines? on the spot availability all godly hours of the day and night don't become a film maker/editor/art director.

    BTW The hotties are Australian because we are simply the bee's knees... te he heheee we don't fuck around I suppose...

    i'm so happy that you have so many wienies in the frying pan all at once, make sure you take your daily vitamin through all this and know that it will all be worth it in the end, hopefully your hubby comes through it with his nuts still intacts.
    for someone who types letters for a living this is exciting shit ;)
  • diabolicdame said on Nov 18, 2008....
    Wohooo!! You sound like you're in high gear!! All the best with all that busyness.. you will kick ass as usual ofcourse! I'm soo looking forward to that movie btw! queenp is bang on about hugh jackman.. HOT!    :-D
  • woman said on Nov 18, 2008....
    Sitting here on my germ infested couch, hacking and whining, I can barely understand what you are talking about Lucy but it sure seems exciting! I assume you are talking about the movie AUSTRALIA. I'm going to be looking for you in that movie, at least your spirit... Enjoy your chaos.
  • uniquely-ironic said on Nov 18, 2008....
    I'm tired just reading this.  wow, you and hubby have got your asses in a vise with that many deadlines.  Like you I find deadlines kinda exciting but also tend to drop into psycho bitch mode so that I don't have to deal with fools gladly.
     
    You'll do it.  I know.  I have every confidence that you guys will shine.  
     
    BTW, if you end up offing hubby due to stress I'll be right over with a file baked into a cake for you.
  • mobil said on Nov 18, 2008....
    You and your hubby work hard, seven months pay is allot to have on the line Lucy, good luck with this.
     
    I know it's not luck, but hard work, sleep when you can.
  • Hegemone said on Nov 18, 2008....
    Lucy, first holy moly.  I admire you for having SO much to do and pushing through it ... and also as you mentioned in the beginning, actually being able to see that things are getting accomplished.  I love that part of any task I'm doing ... when I can see the results coming out, I watch that "To Do" list get smaller.  So uplifting.  I wish you the best of luck with all of this, I know everything will turn out wonderfully.  Oh yes, I hafta agree about Hugh Jackman also ... HOT!
  • Lucytorial said on Nov 18, 2008....

    Fraggles ~ You know, I actually think you're right! vitamins.. I need a B boost keep my energy up.

    DBabe ~ I'm looking forward to it to, frankly a lot of businesses including us are riding on its marketing and hopefully its success.  A lot at stake.

    Women ~ We had nothing to do with the movie itself, we're using it like leeches to promote the real muster experience show we've been working on all year.  Tee he hee why not use it, at least everyone will hear about it.

    Uni ~ I almost offed him last night hon, he got tired snapped, so I did the only thing I could.... slaped him (with my tongue) he's really a softy I swear he can't handle stress.

    Mobil ~ yeh there is a lot riding on this, thats the way we work though so I'm kind of use to it.  All good things take hard work you gotta put your head down and yoru bum up and get on with it.  sleep? huh? whats that?

    Hege ~ Slowly getting there, this is the problem with deadlines like this, you seem to have so much to do that time slows down... or speeds up to a point where you feel like the mound is getting higher, nt smaller.  :-} I do enjoy it.

    Lucy,
    It sounds like you are in a pressure cooker of excitement.  :-)  My best to you and yours as you work through it.

    CW
  • Lucytorial said on Nov 18, 2008....
    Thanks CW ~ It always works out, always just that sometimes he doesn't see it that way when he's caught up in it.  Maybe thats my talent, seeing the end result, the overall picture of the journey.
  • diabolicdame said on Nov 18, 2008....
    Hey.. you know what.. I'm going to ask everyone I know to go watch it in the theatres!! Better yet, I'm gonna take them with me, just to make sure!! Dunno if it'll help but atleast I'll feel like it might've.. besides it looks like a pretty darn good flick anyway!           :-)
  • Lucytorial said on Nov 18, 2008....
    I think its going to be a great movie and people may fire me down here but I really can't stand Nicole Kidman, never could... don't know why? but hopefully I can handle her in this movie.
