Blogspot was acting really weird last night. It still is. It won't let me add a picture, regardless of whether I give it an URL, or upload from my computer.

Last night, it dumped my entry on twice, but I can't go in and delete one of them, because the blogger dashboard now tells me the entry isn't even there for me to delete.

My completely nuts CEO left me a voicemail message in the office at 9:38 last night. On a Sunday? Granted, he was taking a really early flight from Chicago to Houston this morning to get to a convention that a client is co-sponsoring, but panic mode doesn't necessarily get anything done faster. Altogether, I spoke to him or got voicemail messages nine times between 8:00 pm on Saturday and 10:30 am today.

Cut the umbilical cord, already. You should never expect me to be available 24/7. It's nice if I can help out, but I'm not being paid enough for that kind of aggravation on a regular basis. He bugged my boss at home over the weekend and this morning just as much as he did me. My boss is just as fed up as I am with it. He's on vacation. We all know I used costs given to me by the client a year ago, because we never got updated ones, but even so, commercial length is irrelevant to the analysis we did, unless I have different costs for each commercial length, which I didn't.

I joke that the next correspondence my CEO receives from me will be my letter of resignation, but I really do wonder how much I actually am joking. Actually, the protocol would be to submit it to my boss, anyway. And he's just as fed up with this nonsense as I am.

Yes - blogger was being a tad quirky yesterday and today. Similar problems on my end.

Sorry to hear your boss/client requires so much hand holding. As painful as my job can be, I can usually walk out the door and not have it follow me home.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one blogger hates.

Any time you talk to this guy should be a billable hour.
