The Digital Dungeon

Alright, not a week worth repeating. Nothing tragic mind you, just a little is enough to put me on the edge wondering where I'm going to find that point where I can kick back some. Lets bullet item this:

• Work at the office has been over the top this week. More on that later.
• The annual report; I got back the proofed copy after work Wednesday. A lot of little ticky tack things that should have been proofed before I received it the first time. Aside from that it was a great job proofing, except..., to be continued. I worked until 11:30pm and uploaded the files for publication. I was in bed by midnight, the alarm comes early, 4:45am.
  
• Back at the office something in regards to a particular division of one of our newer/bigger clients. We got hit by a "Special" document one of the clients of our NJ office. Mega report/presentation - all to be done in MS Word - I was involved in supporting the production of the document creating, correcting and repairing graphic files while a project assistant worked at setting up formatting as per the clients instructions and receiving a barrage of edits and additions. I was in and started on my part at 7:00am (not knowing when I arrived that I'd be working on it), we left at 11:30pm.
• OK, I was in the office by 8:00. I received some e-mail crap about the document. As things turnout later I found out that the client had been reviewing an earlier version than what we closed with last night. Later I spent a couple hours tightening up the graphics before leaving at 1:00pm. Net gain - 6.5 hours overtime (time & a half). I also picked up a lot of my work assignments assuring next week will be busy. Also, to finish up the annual report bullet, I received a call from the town clerk, a total line was missing from one of the budget lines, got missed in the proofing, I took care of it when I got home, life goes on.

There so much more in and around what I've written, just the overview here. Here's some of what I missed, Carol and Ian chased a bird out of the garage attic - a barn swallow is trying to build a nest in the breezeway - dogs are doing fine - Taylor came home with Ian to hang out for the afternoon - Carol and I headed out to Thatchers for dinner then we went to Big Lots and Wal-mart before calling it a night. Tomorrow Carol is going to UMO to judge at the annual high school science fair. Ian will be going to Camp Bomazeen for OA Ceremonies practice. Me, the church newsletter awaits as does the website updates that have been put off for three weeks. Does the fun ever end.
