Lucky. I wanted to be a mortician when I was a kid.

I used to help my father put in lifts for caskets in funeral homes. I've seen too many dead bodies for a young kid.

I will say the people that worked in funeral homes were great. They would answer any question I had and would even teach me. Now watching the brain fall out of the skull, slide down the table and into a bucket was a little much but strangely it really didn't bother me.

Oh, it made a splat when it hit the bucket.

I've just had my first experience with Typekit and already wish it would disappear forever.
I'm opening a pdf in Illustrator, and it said it could sync that ONE font. Ok, cool.
But from the spinning wheel it looks like it might take a week to ten days.
Which fargin' cloud are they going to, anyway?

I didn't have a good copy of Word or Publisher, so I opened it in Adobe.  :cheesy:

"good copy of Word or Publisher"? That is as elusive as "political integrity"! :laugh:

One of my NEW favorite oxymorons is "Job Fair."

There are two ways of looking at that, and neither of them works out right.
1. Is there going to be cotton candy at the expo center?
2. Do the good guys always win and the bad guys always lose, based on individual or departmental merits wherever you work?

Joe, I went back to check. Son of a gun, this customer actually DID send an Indy file to go with their pdf. (Will wonders never cease?)

Oh well, the press is running again, and everything is corrected now except the "untouchable" customer original.

When I worked with another incarnation of the Web shop we do covers for I was forbidden to touch the customer's file. No edits, even if it was total shit.

I now work with basically the same people, just different management. I get sent files constantly to unfuck now. As long as the overall look is the same, they are happy.

And they have a "prepress" department. More like an imposition department. I had to teach them how to make spreads from single pages FFS.

A "fair" is where people go to eat, drink, and be merry (aka drink). It has nothing to do with submitting yourself as a new slave for the machine doing useless tasks on a daily basis for little reward.

Sometimes I'm tempted to show up at local job fairs and just fuck up everyone's day, so the recruiters return to their owners a bit dismayed and say "I don't want to do that again." lol

If you do, video that. I would love to see the fallen look on their faces when you piss in their cornflakes.

I dread every time I get a InDesign file with fonts from Typekit.
The fonts almost never sync and have to turn off and on the font sync to get it to work.  :banghead:
