9:20am. More e-mail. That clickable banner I created for someone-out-there.com needs to be 450 pixels wide instead of 500. Im tempted to just scale it down, but I know that the fidelity of the image might go to hell, and besides it is an animated GIF file, requiring more hand-holding. It takes 30 minutes. I get 10 more minutes of creation time before a 10:00am meeting with our contractor, electrician, and cabinet-maker. Oh, I forgot to tell you, were remodeling our kitchen. That means that for the next two months, there will be men and women traipsing through our home offices, banging, clanking, and making messes. For those two months, I wont be able to work at the unusually high rate of efficiency that distinguishes my normal work process, as described so clearly to you here. 11:45am. Meeting over - time for lunch. Normally, lunch is defined as whatever we didnt finish from the previous nights dinner, the Living section of the paper, and 10 minutes. But today, Becky and I need to figure out who has to buy which kitchen appliances, when, where, and how. So we go out. 1:00pm. I return to the CorelDRAW project. Ive been up since 6:00am, and have accumulated a total of 38 minutes of time spent on the brochure. Not bad...Ive done worse. 1:07pm. I open the Symbols roll-up and notice that several of the symbol fonts are missing. That reminds me that I need to fix the typeface directory assignments since the day last week that I installed that new font manager. And that reminds me that I need to call the company and ask them for that update to the program. And that reminds me that I promised to visit the companys Web site and provide feedback on the new design. And that reminds me that I promised another client to create a few backgrounds to use on a new site. And that reminds me that I forgot to invoice a client for last month. And that reminds me that my client database really needs to be updated. And hey, isnt there a new version of Lotus Approach that I should have received by now? And speaking of new versions, Id better call Corel about the maintenance release for Ventura 7. Ventura 7...oh my goodness, I promised VUEPoint Magazine an article about Ventura 7, and I think it was due last Friday! |
