Burnt-Out

Here are some other pictures...nothing eerie about these though. *grin* Isabel (my colleague) and I were feeling playful and while I was scanning some stuff, we struck on the idea to scan something different; namely, our hands. Of course, she being the designer, she added the dash of colours and style and voila! It turned out different from the boring ol' pictures that were actually scanned...Such wonders of technology huh? *grin*

It's mid-week today, but I think I have enough excitement for the week now, thank you very much. The craziness counter hit an all-time high on Monday, when apart from having to stay back and rush work, we had to sprint to the printers, and following that, fly down to the airport. Yes, the airport. Mind you, this was a very rush job...A rash one too, I would say, for my boss to accept. But I guess, as with any boss, who doesn't hope to rake in more dough yah? Besides, the client is exactly the type any boss would love - wealthy and huge MNC with generous budget most of the time, and is not really stingy about it. Client only contacted us on Friday afternoon, and she wants it to be delivered by Monday. Problem is, we don't work on weekends, and she wanted the specs changed last minute on Monday. Monday! To make matters worse, the graphics she provided were not high-resolution, so the designers had to re-create from scratch. That was real tedious, considering the number of posters and the huge number of graphics she had. The only fortunate thing is that the quantity was not alot. Imagine the time it would have taken to print them!

Anyways, we rushed down to the printer, spent an hr there doing printing, and immediately zipped down to the airport, where the client was waiting at the immigration checkpoint. I think we are darn lucky for sure, and perhaps it was a will of God, but the client's flight was delayed! Amazing stuff isn't it? There were many flights taking off that night, and hers was the only one that was re-timed, from 1130pm to 1205am. We reached the airport at 1145pm, barely made it! If her flight hadn't been re-timed, we definitely wouldn't be able to make it *Whew*

And so the story goes on...I think we are all suffering a burn-out...very soon, if not now...whydoyouthinkimtypingthisway?
