"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Standing at the computer where we clock in/out here...about to punch out for the last time.
Owner got us lunch, they all got me some mushy card and I cried.  :laugh:  (bastards)
there is a storm of emotions I am dealing with about everything (not just work/prepress).
Right now, departure looks like it will be in Mid-June so I'll be staying with friends here in town until then since I am moving out of my apt on the 31st. Which means I'll be on here more often until then.

Hope you all are doing well, I had enough time to post this not to browse... :hello:

In uniform is ok, I mean, you know... if you want to.
My lips are moving and the sound's coming out
The words are audible but I have my doubts
That you realize what has been said

Remember to BE CAREFUL, and send pix. I love it down there. What you are doing was and is still a lifelong dream for many of us.

Said 'goodbye' to prepress in January. Now doing straight up programming, application development and data processing for a company that prints and manufactures plastic cards (hotel keys, RFID cards, gift cards, etc.)

Use InDesign on a daily basis to prepare data proofs, but that's about as close to prepress as I get.

Absolutely in love with the work ... although it's far, far away from any prepress I ever did (including all the VDP I've done over the past six years), it seems like a very natural progression.

Good for you, Youston. You can still come back here and gloat once in a while, can't you? We've lost too many of our main posters.

Good for you man.

I'm dying to get the hell out of this place. I'd be ok with prepress at another place but here is just plain miserable. I had a "vacation" last week and as I was leaving I was told there may be a job you'll have to work on.... then a email a few hours later about another possible job. Totally ruined my vacation.

Now the boss is going away for 2 days at the end of the week and I have to cover. I get no backup here at all but I have to cover everyone else's ass. Think I'll spend those 2 days putting down all my issues with this place and have him read it when he gets back.

Anyone hiring next week?

Also give the boss an invoice for anything you did for the company while on "vacation."

That's very cool that you love your job!
Can't say I'm loving mine right now.
We are having boss issues right now
