A very mauvaise Saturday

It's almost 10am and I should be whizzing around the apartment putting things away (a pair of shoes from every day this week in hallway) and getting ready for my knitting club and my Saturday trip to library. Instead, I'm in my p.j.'s, drinking my second cup of coffee and reading work emails. It's grey and awful outside - like the sky won't commit to rain, and won't give you a break with showing a bit of sun.

I've been kind of loving having a non-mental period at work, and it's let me get caught up on things that have piled up over the last year. My slow-ish work period is officially over, I've been assigned three new clients, and that means three site launches in the next six weeks. From my end, I know I can do it. I just have to be organized enough that I don't end up putting one artists' bio on anothers site.

The part that worries me is that we have 2 designers, one of which is as lazy as the day is long. So I want to outsource production, and my favorite designer is a French guy living in Germany....thanks to the internet gods, communication isn't a problem, but relevance is. He just isn't as familiar with the artists as a local might be. So do I spend precious time finding a new designer who may be more in tune, or go with the designer that I know is great, and is fast? I think even typing this made the choice clear to me.

If I didn't think that I'd be exposed by someone from work googling said artist name for research, and having this blog come up and let them see into my secrets, I'd reveal, because I'm very proud of the work I do.

Oh what the hell - how about hints then?

Client #1 R&B singer, wardrobe issue, youngest of 9
Client #2 Comedian, gets r done, not a real redneck
Client #3...i'll have to figure a way to describe him, he's not easily tagged. R&B singer with biz smarts? I dunno.
