Guess I can only blame myself

In my company, there is only one visualiser supporting us 4 designers.

We plan our projects in such a way that we have to queue our projects, and sometimes it isnt easy because concepts doesnt come at the snap of a finger, but takes a few days to develop.

For certain designers who dont work on concept, there is no such problem, because it all boils down to just colour and material matching for them.

In my case, mainly due to me being very new in the line, I take a freaking long time to develop concepts, but eventually they all turn out pretty well.

Currently I am doing a ground floor unit for a client, and because it is for public access as well, I am wringing my brains to come up with a focal point that no one may miss.

But because of the conceptual period, I wasted 2 precious days in my 4 days visuals production slot that I have, and now I can only blame myself that I wont be able to make it for the submission.

Actually, I've got slots all the way from last fri to this thurs, meaning 5 days in production, hence I took my time to do research and developement.

Then suddenly I was told that I have to give up my thurs for a colleague, and then someone else dropped another bomb. I was to give up slots for another project, which will take 2 days out of my slots again.

2 days wont be enough because I am in the office for less than 4 hours a day due to all the meetings that I have to attend.

But nevermind, I thought, because that presentation was scheduled before mine own, so I thought their visuals would be done by the time I've finished my conceptualisation, quite perfect too.

And I realise no. It ate squarely into my production slots.

My visuals was returned to me 60% done, and now my visualiser had went on to do another project. I hate it. Especially cos they give me the slots, and then happily take them out.

But well, I've only myself to blame. Will just give up the project then. Doesnt matter.
