Goodbye, prepress

[gnubler]

I also received a year-end bonus, way more than I ever got working in some shitty printshop because my company is actually making profits.

Goodbye, prepress.

Burritos, soba, whatever. As long as you make it good and unique the hipsters will follow you like the pied piper.

[Possum]

Gnub, good for you. You deserve a job like this. (Don't we all?)

[gnubler]

Yes, because no one in this forum sucks. I hope you all get out before it's too late!

[Farabomb]

Thank you. 

That's quite a compliment coming from someone that wishes the death of the human race.  :laugh:

[gnubler]

Prepress, standup comics, and Steve Buscemi are cool. All the rest can go die.

[Possum]

They will eventually, some just not fast enough.

Long story short, talked to the boss today about my pay. It's an "oversight." I'll be getting all my money next week.

I can only grill, so I can't be very beneficial to the roach coach idea.

Ya know, I bitch and grumble about prepress as much as anyone but at the end of the day there is nothing else I'd rather be doing job wise. Of course I'd like some of the people to be a little less stupid but it's probably that way in about any job.

If you are really miserable doing it though by all means get out and find something that makes you happier.

I find that hard to believe.

[Joe]

Well believe it!

Holy Crap!  Joe and I agree on something.

Honestly, I can believe it. I actually enjoy the work I do. What infuriates me is how prepress has always been the ginger stepson. Everyone shits on us yet has no clue what's involved in our jobs. They have no clue how difficult some files can be. They remember the one time you banged out a 1c 1s job in 5 minutes so they expect that a 120 pg 6c book with 2 varnishes should only only take you 15 minutes max.

I enjoy the challenge of the files, figuring out complex layouts, die work and such. Just keep my rack full with jobs and I'll give you 100%. Keep your end up by feeding me work. When we are slow let me catch up with maintaining all the things I had to use workarounds when we were busy.

Oh, digi you can work the counter, I'll run the grill with gnub. We'll move to Co. and open a rasta pasta one called Ginger Dead.
