CD release party with invitations sent to every industry person this client
knows (quite a few) radio advertizing.... scheduled for March 10. I'm in the
middle of a miserable case of the flu, running 101+ fever and my ears are
worthless. I've got 12 songs to mix and master before March 1 (we're
improvising on a short run of 150 CD copies with artwork for the party
only). Lots of production decisions to be made in the mix. Producer is
leaving town tomorrow and won't be back until the 24th. Mixing this project
is going to be more like doing the arranging myself because I will be making
the decisions as to which of the many good passes of the various instruments
are featured and we've got virtuoso guitar, dobro, fiddle and mandolin
players just going nuts all over this so by I'm going to have to find what
works best where I think it should sit and make the critical decisions that
a producer should be making.......and oh yeah.......I've got a majorly
demanding day job that is breakin' my balls here as well.

I'm going back to bed now.

;oP

Well I don't have a mix to do...

....but I did just log on to the group with the express purpose of starting
a thread in titled "Where can I get a job with no stress?!?".

We've got union negotiations going on here... plus I just pissed off one
of the bosses here by finishing work at 3:30 last Friday. The fact that I
started early, missed my one hour I'm supposed to get for lunch, and worked
basically a 12 hour day for that same job the week before... none of that
stuff was of any interest of course.

There's this stuff we use at work called "Snoopy". It's basically soapy water
in a squeezy bottle. It's for detecting air leeks. You put a little on the
join of the air pipe and if there's a leak it makes bubbles. I saw it and
thought "That sounds like a good business to be in. Mix a little detergent
with some water. Stick it in a bottle and sell it for $5".

Surely there's some job I could be in that doesn't contain any stress...

Maybe I could become one of those dudes who runs the elevator...

Cheers,
Kim.

Oh, and do get better soon. My advice is to get rest for a couple of days
and try and shake it off. If you work hard now and keep the stress up you'll
have bad ears for who knows how long. Rest, let your ears and body recover,
and do it at the end...

....that would be my take on it anyhow.

Cheers,
Kim.

Kim is right, take a break, get your strength back, don't worry about
work for a bit. Sleep. Ami can make you some chicken soup.

Hope you feel better soon! And congrats on the mixing/mastering project,
sounds like a fun one!

Cheers,
-Jamie

Deej,

If you still have some time and attention to give to posting about it to the
NG, you have not yet reached MAX-STRESS levels. Keep at it though, it sounds
like you are close!
