Just spent an hour and a half cutting the last of 28 designs for a job. They're repeated pieces, 50x units, so in the document, I copy paste and align/spread to fit the material I'm working on.
Sent a celebratory email to the client as this job's has been on the low burn for quite a while now.
Job finishes, and I remove the pieces from the machine. Notice one has a weird cut on it, rendering it useless - "uh oh" - because I can't think of a single reason for its existence. "Something's up with the machine - shit!". But, for now it doesn't matter, as there's only one uni... oh, wait, there's another.
And another.
And - oh dear Lord, what's going on?
Turns out that the very first duplication, I must've fumble-pressed 'Ctrl+J' or Join Paths, because every second fucking piece has this same cut through it. 25 totally fucked units - half of them.
At least it's not a gliltch in the machine, and at least it was the very last piece, but fucking hell - I've just wasted some quite expensive material, and 45 minutes of my life.
- Surprised this didn't end up in the Punches For: thread!Continuity
