suffering from "passive stress"
like passive smoking, but you start absorbing other people's stress.
I am beginning to think I should have explained the word "contingency" to my fellow students, as the opportunity to factor this into their plans, seems to have been bypassed, and now panic is rife.
If I hear anyone else say their computer has died….. maybe I should have explained the term "back-up" also!
Now I probably sound like a proper clever dick, but age and business experience does count for something, please learn something from this.
I want to go and lie down in a quiet room, with no phone or computer
our show goes up in 8 days (hopefully)
Yesterday I came across these images of the archive in its heyday.
How crowded it is now in comparison, but still very atmospheric and totally recognisable.
I wish I had seen these earlier, I might have been able to use them somehow.
Although I may still be able to, because I have secured a show in Limehouse in August, where I should be able to show all this project. I will have to see what I can do once the Degree show is out of the way.
I went to my mum's today.
she says that when I finish my degree, I could get a job as a swimming instructor.
ever feel like you're not being taken seriously?
hey, I feel like I am getting there! prints gone for mounting, postcards ordered, book prepared!
Still have show tasks to work on, artists statement, and prep for the meeting at Departure, oh yes and the research books, but panic is subsiding a bit…..until I remember how much it's all going to cost!
went to the printers yesterday, so committed now to final 3.
looking forward to seeing them full size on thursday, and checking them before they go to be mounted. hope I have judged the final preparations correctly.
got a quote for the work.
eek!
still, you only do a final show once!
trying to get a grip on the myriad of other minor tasks of my own and those that I have taken on for the show.
feel absolutely shattered. need a holiday, or just a good nights sleep!
