Oktoberfest<\/a> is gonna kill me.<\/em> All (!) I’m doing this year is handling the signs and banners, and still\u2026it’s going to kill me.<\/p>\n

Scheduling appointments for Debbie is gonna kill me.<\/em> I now have a part-time job (yes, because business had become that<\/strong><\/em> bad) working for my friend Debbie, and she has a lot<\/strong> of client appointments. And each one of them takes around four hours, eleven emails, three phone calls and half a pint\u00a0of my blood to schedule.<\/p>\n
