Worst week of my career - got yelled at by 3 clients in one day
Monday started with a client in Denver screaming at me because a report was 2 days late. Then Tuesday a different client said my work was 'unacceptable' because I used the wrong template. Wednesday a third one threatened to cancel their contract over a tiny formatting error. I spent Thursday just sitting in my car during lunch trying not to cry. Has anyone else had a week where everything fell apart at once?

spent Thursday just sitting in my car during lunch trying not to cry" - I read this article once that said crying in your car is basically a rite of passage for working adults. Not that it makes it any easier. That sounds like a nightmare week, I'm sorry.

You know, I used to roll my eyes at people who did the whole "crying in the car" thing, but I think you just changed my mind @the_nina. It’s kind of a real, quiet release valve when everything feels too heavy.
