The printing company where the college newspaper gets published just called. There’s a problem with the files. It seems my tiffs aren’t tiffs and the fonts didn’t embed.
I checked those files personally AND I know all of the tiffs were tiffs, and I also know I selected embed fonts. I also know they were CMYK. I don’t know why it didn’t work, but I am suspecting a problem with the program loaded on that particular computer.
I started to say as much to the print shop person, but she interrupted me to say, “Just because it’s a tiff doesn’t mean it’s CMYK.” Well, if she would hush just a moment more, I could finish my sentence and say I think there is a problem with the program because all of the settings were right.
I let her know it would be at least an hour before I can get to Kirtland. The roads are icy, and I live at least 40 minutes away to begin with.
Her reply, “I was afraid of that.” Yeah, me too. Argh.
So much for not having to go anywhere today. Hopefully the trip will prove to be uneventful and worthwhile. I’m waiting on a new edition of a textbook for one of the classes I teach. Hopefully it will be in today.
Still, I can’t complain about how my day started. I had a nice start to my day before 8 a.m. It was only after 8 a.m. that things went down the tubes. I’m off.
Thanks for playing.
It could be worse… My day today started off almost-swell. Just one kid home, dh at work, snow falling. And then, dh called to say he broke a tooth. So I spent the next couple hours trying to find a dentist. Ugh.
