Is anyone else getting slaughtered today? We were pretty slow this morning, a couple jobs... no big deal. In 30 minutes it was balls to the wall. The excuse of the day? "We're (Customers) wanting to close down tomorrow and Friday... so we're trying to get this pushed through."

If I had any hair, I would be pulling it out.

For the first time in 2 months, it's actually let up a little bit. I had some work, but I finished it all (except for a proof I am waiting on the 7880 to finish up). I just got a rush job, but it's a copy job and I literally finished it in 2 minutes.

What I don't really get? We are backed up for 2 weeks. What is getting pushed through? Nothing, WE'RE BACKED UP FOR 2 GODDAMN WEEKS! Another thing, just because I'm in that kinda mood.... why is it so hard to put a label or title on your e-mail indicating what it is? I swear to god... I get 50 e-mails a day, about half of them are titled "correction" or "job" and not one clue as to what they pertain to. Like we only work on one job... theirs. UGH!

We close Friday. Re-open Jan 03. But I have a processor slush out; maybe do it Saturday, avoid Xmas Eve stupidity, which is everywhere. People driving as though they're being pursued by Charles Manson.

But booked in to see Tintin in 3D next Wed... in the lounge thingy where you get food served... lay-back seats.   :grin:

You mean you work on more than one customers job? I thought every customer had their own personal prepress slave just sitting around waiting on their job 24/7?

They actually think this. A company this large dependent on an A-7 envelope. There are 100 people here, get that envelope in! Peoples gotta eat! :hangme:

I'm right there with you, DCS. Kind of slow last week... came in Monday this week and BAM, busy as a cat trying to bury a crap on a marble floor. Everyone has the same story too... "I'm late on this project and I'm leaving town to have Christmas with family so can you get a proof for me by this afternoon"? "Oh, by the way, I didn't have time to make PDF so I gave it to you as 16 individual Illustrator files, hope you're okay with that"... isn't this a 32 page book?... opens files, reader spreads in illy.... great...  :hangme:

Talk about the opposite...

Walked in this morning to find the 48 page magazine proof still sitting here - no one bothered to deliver it to the customer. Two tickets on my wall - only 2. One was a correction (capitalize an "a" on page 3) to a 20 page K/K book and the other was a ticket for a job I had proofed the day before (with no ticket, since I knew the customer and the boss wasn't here to write it up). The other jobs are out on proof, and one got put "on hold" until the 27th. I guess I'll be sent home early today.
