Soemtimes its good to be pessimistic - days can then have a habit of being much better than expected.
The QE2 Terminal embarkation corridors look great - 23 poster frames fitted up and labelled. Some of them even have a spcae holder in them.
Wonderful views across the water while drilling them in - and we had finished by just after 1pm. Did a load of deliveries then, and I once agin realized how much I love my job. There are difficulties getting on with D now and then, and we often don't understand one another, but working together and sharing ideas is one of the things that really does seem to work.
The Cruise Terminals is an inspired idea, and little wonder then than we have a number of media buying agencies interested.
Delivering maps and Pocket Guides too is such a good feeling.
A product that I conceived 6 or 8 years ago. Began to field walk the city when Flo was a baby at home and I was working freelance.
Researched the map, designed it, drew it, published it and now deliver it to stockists and even now and then fill up POS on the shop counters. Sells around 250 copies a month, which is never going to earn me a million, but its an encouraging level of sales and has been slowly picking up over the last three editions.
Conference Guide and Room Folders in the next month or two, new Forest map (also third edition) not to mention all the contract work.
D has denied anyhting to do with being on my computer yesterday evening. Apparently his laptop 'does that too sometimes'. Mysteriously empties the cache and clears the browser histroy? Funny that...
I didn't bother to argue. The mouse being reconnected for a left-hnaded person really told me all I needed to know anyway. Makes the whole issue difficult to deal with though now its kind of over.
Out this evening helping to set up the Fete. garage full of leaflets, racking and notices, bunting and tables.
Pray for the weather to continue
