Napping Nightmares

I took a couple of hour nap this afternoon because I only got about five hours of sleep last night. I'm already dreaming of preflighting files! Now I'm beginning to understand the deep annoyance that prepress people have with designers. I realized that in almost two weeks of doing this, I've only had one file that had no problems. It's mostly lame stuff, like low resolution images, using registration black for text, RGB color spaces and low resolution transparency...all stuff that anybody that goes to design school is told to watch out for. I'm seriously annoyed by people that send incomplete files. Why bother sending a document where half the pages missing? *sigh* It's all part of the job, though. I'm not going to let myself get super annoyed with it. That's not my job, that's the prepress manager's. I can only do what I can, right? Now, if I could just be full time...

The nap put a crimp in the video plans. After running a couple of errands with Marcus, it was dark when we got home. Oh, well. There's always tomorrow.

OK, got Marcus' pilgrim image finally done. Still haven't worked on my site. I'm uninspired at the moment.

I'm gonna go finish watching the Broncos/Charger game.
