I have time to blog today only because I've finished a project for a class early.

I came to class with my tidy little brochure design saved and ready to print. I made some tweakings and then packaged the file for pre-press and printed to the trusty lab printer.

I have been waiting for a little more than two hours for the file to beat down the print demons that are sending 27 copies of the front of a Trix cereal box. Everyone else is printing and trying to be patient. The printer will be in pieces. Soon.

On the up-side I finally found time to catch up on my correspondance, joke around with friends, and surf the web. I think that snags like these should come more often - as long as i have the project ready ahead of time.
