Ha! I told you there would be more soon. It’s been mere days since my last post! Anyway, I have my crappy job to thank for this post. I’m suppose to be out getting coffee, food, a hair cut, rear-view mirror adhesive, and heading to Staples to check out their weekly office chair sale. And cleaning my car, and taking some leftovers from the Big Move to the dump.

But I’m doing none of that. I’m waiting for a photoshop file to slowly transfer from my office machine in Raleigh to my home, where I am at now. I am at home today because I was told by my sales director that he had cleared it with the big boss and I could take a couple of days off this week while it was slow. You know, to catch up on errands such as above, the basic necessities of life and such that are hard to get to when you work everyday for three weeks straight and live at your office for days on end.

But just I was about to walk out the door for my coffee and hair cut, etc. I received a call from the sales director, who let me know that (oops!) the big boss had no idea I was out of the office today a client needed a change to some ad I had created months ago because it was going into some catalog they were having printed and the catalog was already at the printer and the changes need to be done PRONTO!

Yeah, the sales director lied to me. He does that a lot. In his effort to solve any problem that comes along, and keep me from going insane, he often tells me what he thinks I want to hear. I’m not sure if he believes the things he says, or if he really knows he’s lying. Sometimes I think he makes up realities in his head. There will be future posts about how crazy my sales director is…

So my errand day has been delayed while waiting for a big ass PSD file to transfer from my work machine. Those bastards are lucky I know how to set up VNC and a SSH tunnel. Of course they don’t realize that I know those things, they just expect me to be available to get something done whenever they need it done. My coffee and hair cut be damned.

But here is the highlight of this post. Below is a screenie of part of the ad ‘corrections’ that were sent to me from the client for todays project. Yes, it is a very illegible hand-written post-it note that was slapped on top of a printout of the previous ad I created for them. 10 points to whoever can guess the whole thing:

I think my company name is actually written in there, but honestly I can’t be sure. This sort of thing happens a lot, by the way.
