Hi, Aggie.

And so it finally happened. I had to have the talk with my client, who keeps making my life a living hell. I had to tell her that Photoshopping images together and apart takes more time than she thinks (if you want to do it for print applications, anyway). I had to explain to her that text changes aren't a serious problem unless you ask for major revisions, which take much long than most would expect. Rewriting and reformatting always sounds easy until you have to do it on two hours' sleep. She wanted more text here, and less text there. She wanted text from one topic She wanted all of her temporary promotional material on the pamphlet, where there's no room. She wanted me to plaguerize the source material more closely. And after I had the talk with her about what pamphlets versus brochures versus presentation folders are for, she finally backed down.

I think this job may actually go to print soon. I can have my life back soon. I can catch up on my sleep again soon.

Oh happy day, Aggie. Happy indeed.

WAIT! Hold the phone! She just called again. One more edit. One. More. Word.

And then... she sends me the information for the FTP site of her printer! JOY!
