Little ironies
Life is full of little ironies. For example, they are building a restaurant next to my gym called "Sinns". I'll be able to go straight from heaven to hell without passing Go. Convenient.
Yesterday, as I mentioned in the last post, was press day. Another little irony was that yesterday was also the day the company back in London picked for their annual summer picnic. So when I faced urgent software problems at around 8pm last night, they were all too sloshed to care.
Before that my boss back home, William, had spent a few rushed minutes looking over the editorial, cover and analysis piece for me. But when he sent them back he forgot to attach the file with his comments. And left the office. I had to take his directions over the phone from whatever park they were all frolicking in. Doubtless by that time there was a glass of Pimms in his hand.
I had to deal with it myself. Luckily, I'm quite resourceful in a tight spot. But constructing an advert from scratch when I don't really know what I'm doing and with the printers' deadline ticking over was not FUN. I wouldn't call it fun, no.
Operation Botch Job ended at about 10.30pm. An hour earlier than last month, so that would count as a success. But OH MY GOD it's so seriously urgent for me to take a course in Indesign NOW that it's not funny.
