Desk work

Tuesday, September 30, 2008

Working has been different for me lately. Because I'm planning on driving off tomorrow afternoon (to head to Springfield, IL for my cousin's wedding, and then to CT for my brother's), it is difficult to get started on a big project, knowing it's going to sit for a couple weeks. That, and since my data recovery is not complete yet (waiting to hear back from Runtime Software) projects done with that equipment are still on hold.

It's not my desire to see projects needing to move forward just sit there, but at the moment that seems to be the best course of action, give the situation. So today will be tying up some loose ends, and some time in getting ready for the drive ahead.

We are close to sending files out to the printer for our WorkBook reprint. This is a new cover, perfect bound instead of spiral, with some corrections. We are trying a little lighter paper this time, which should shave some costs here and there. It's not much, maybe $0.06 a book. But if it is still high quality, and even helps shave shipping costs (both ways), then it will help.
