I needed some love :heart: from my g.d. peeps today! :pensive_face: I royally screwed up today. i wasted a bunch of my co-worker’s and my time (he was helping me print a vinyl menu, in a specific font, on a 24x35" chalkboard). we cut 4 lines at a time, 20 lines total, and painstakingly picked out a…
