Oi! How goes it? I was out of town for two days on business. As editor of the university's annual report, I had to oversee the press checks. I put in an 18-hour day Thursday pulling and ordering color corrections on proof after proof, and a 10-hour day on Friday putting this seven-month-long project to bed. We printed it out of the NYC/northern Jersey area (and in fact out of both states) because I pulled in better bids away from the city. This is the most expensive and critical publication that the university puts out each year, so these last two days were the most important of the year in terms of my job. (Past editors have lost their jobs for screwing this up.) Right now I'm dog-tired, but glad everything worked out. Now they've just got to print and bind it, then ship it. I need to have it ready in time for distribution at the school's first Board of Governors meeting of the new academic year. Anyway, I'm doing fine. Yourself? ;) Atticus
