Yep, customers just suck! I'm sat here on my own today, whilst my workmates are off on holiday, and I've had to pretty much employ a 'take a number and stand in line system' to deal with them all. So I'm about ready to shut the door and take the phone off the hook - it's sooooo unreasonable to expect me to do work on a Friday!!

its unreasonable to ask me to do work ANY day.. heheh.

DOCTOR PADS...DOCTOR PADS...DOCTOR PADS...DOCTOR PADS...DOCTOR PADS...

I #$%#$ hate these god damned things! Since I work as the sole graphic artist in a small print shop with a very 'walk-in' customer base, I have so many stupid little 'bingo card' jobs to do that I don't really have any time to be recreating stuff other people already done. So Kinkos (rival print shop) decides to stop doing prescription pads because employees are using the pads to get drugs illegally, so guess who all the doctors now come to? Like I said, I don't have time to be recreating each and everything that comes through here, so I just scan everything and if it isn't high quality, tough crap. A lot of other doctors who didn't get their work done at Kinkos suddenly start coming here with pads that have already been designed, then when you ask them or your employers (who take the order) to get a file from them (more specifically whereever they had the files originally designed), they stare at you like a deer in headlights. Even worse, they never JUST send ONE pad, they gotta do about ten or twenty!!! If I had my way, ONE ORDER PER CUSTOMER per week/month/whatever. Besides, why can't they go to some place that specializes in these things instead of wasting the time of a busy graphic artist? (There are places.)

I'm having a really bad day myself with these damned things, I feel like that Office Space guy talking about his job to a therapist....

HIM: 'So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life.'

DOC: 'And what about today? Is today the worst day of your life.'

HIM: 'Yeah.'

DOC: 'Wow, that's messed up.'

By the way, I totally know where you're coming from on the certificates; I do something identical for a medical college around here. In fact, I have that job sitting in my inbox right now. They're gonna have to wait a while on that though, because the same company sent an order prior to that for business cards for 180+ students. Since they've been whoring this section and to make my work not so overwhelming, I've just been doing one sheet of names a day (about 30 names). I don't even plan to start on those certificates until the B.C.s are done. They need the certificates faster? Then the idiots can cancel the B.C. order.

Hmm... and you do this why?

Pretty sad when Kinkos admits their employees steal for drugs.
That's why they can't print straight.

Any type of form that has a lot of lines, boxes and so forth to them. I hate them...hate them, hate them!

OK, so here is my pancakey job for the week.

I received an email this morning saying 'I have to put together an exhibition about eating disorders, so attached are some images (in a Word document). Can you put them together as an exhibition for me please?'

I've attached one of the images that I received - what do you think?

I think that image just about covers it.

Lovely print-quality photo.

God I hate that when people put photos in Word files, send over that file, then for some reason can't produce the ORIGINAL file they imported to begin with. 'Mr. Mechanic, can you fix that problem with my engine? Oh, I locked my keys in the trunk first.'

Let's see:
1) Formatting truck stop information (state, city, stop name, address, amenities) from Excel to Quark to create a custom fuel directory for a large fuel company.

2) Creating Restaurant seating charts (involves tracing floorplan from architect and adding table #'s and sections

3) Certificates - up to 200 names. Thank God for new document with automatic text box...

4) I set this 4 page form up in Excel, can you make it fit onto a single page?

There are probably more, but...

The clothes do make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society at large.

Deal with customers. Funny, about 95% of my time at work is dealing with customers. Maybe that's why they drive me batty.

My HP printer doesn't print straight. Maybe it's been getting drugs from the fax machine next door...

^ too funny!

My HP printer doesn't print straight either! I really don't know where it could be getting drugs from though...

The more people I meet, the more I love my cats.

If you guys hate dealing with customers so much, why are you in GD?
