Just done some nightshift work designing page layout. 10pm-6am... I'm fucked... place was a total shambles, basically cleaning up their mess in quark... all the images from the files were scattered all over their server, so before could even get started spent half the time looking for lost files...staying away from pre-press places from now on...what a shit job. left them a qbn sticker under their xerox scanner hud.

I had a client that was getting so badly on my nerves, but he went broke now.
So it all pays back some day ;)
