WTF MATE!?

Today at work was looking like a pretty slow, relaxing day. Until all hell broke loose upon my head.

Every Now and Then books are published as a hardcover first and then later are printed as a paperback. This is known as a delayed paperback. They then give these projects to the editorial assistants to get ready and put to press. I have 3. That is what I have been working on since lunch. And they are not easy. I feel like everything I do is wrong and I have been asking my friend Tricia to explain it to me. And I feel like an idiot because she keeps having to repeat herself (dude, she talks fast and I have a crappy memory). Somehow my mind has put up a block so that I cannot understand all that needs to be done for these paperbacks. There are WAY too many forms and too many things that need to be made a copy and too many emails to send, just too many all around.

And now, as I am working on this paperback the files that I have to copy from adobe are telling me that they cant be copied unless I go through and copy each page as an image and paste each image individually. FOR A 200 PAGE BOOK!! What?! That would take days! Especially since my adobe is super slow. It took me 10 mins to copy paste the table of contents and it was only 2 pages!

On top of that, I am getting like MEGA tired, like I cant keep my eyes open right now. I’m typing blind! With very few typos miraculously.

I will do a super post tomorrow about the wedding, and include some pictures. Hopefully by tomorrow I will have done at least a little bit more on these (insert expletive) paperbacks!

P.S. the author whos paperback I’m working on right now is named Paffenroth, and everytime I read it my mind says Puffenstuff. Which used to make me smile, now it doesn’t. Stupid Paperbacks!
