there's gotta be days like this

I'm not having the greatest day today. work wasn't all that great. I sort of got yelled at. Not really, but just told that I needed to fix something. For the past few weeks I've been working on a monster catalog. we are basically taking an old catalog and revamping it into a new one for this company. Whoever made the old catalog didn't know what they were doing. They made a 100 page catalog in Illustrator page by page instead of making it using inDesign. No bleed marks, safety, crop lines, anything. They made all the "backgrounds" in photoshop  saved them, and imported them into Illustrator. They didn't even use high resolution images on it. They're all set at 150dpi. I have no clue how this thing got printed looking halfway decent. So trying to disect this monster has been quite the chore. I've never worked on a catalog, let alone one that has been done in such a poor way. It kind of pissed me off from the begining that I've been given this in the first place. It's not that I couldn't handle doing it, because it's not hard, just tedious and annoying. But I know the only reason that I have this project all to myself is because my boss doesn't want to deal with it. It's a pain in the ass. I understand. If i was the boss i wouldn't want it either. But he could at least look at the pages and offer some suggestions.

So today I was told to look over everything with a fine tooth comb that I've done so far. I was planning on doing this, I just hadn't gotten around to it because this catalog isn't something I work on everyday. I work on it when I get new direction from the lady that is in charge over there. Most of the time I work on other things. I wans't reallly getting yelled it I guess, but my boss just seemed dissapointed that things weren't checked perfect on it. Even though we are super far from done. I spent all day working on the catalog. making sure everything looked right. I'm still not done. And I won't be going into work tomorrow.

I was on the way to Dave's house earlier tonight when I got a call from my boss. He told me not to come into work tomorrow because he knew Dave was sick, I was exposed to it, and he didn't want to risk having everyone at work exposed to it as well. I left early yesterday to take care of Dave. Worked all day today. You would have thought they would have told me not to come in today. I understand why they did it, but it still bothers me. I mean i know as soon as they left they were talking about what they should do and how they should handle talking to me about how they were scared I have been carrying some crazy fatal virus.  They told me to call tomorrow when we got the test results in to keep them updated. I'm super hormonal right now too, so it's not helping. I needed the money that I would've made tomorrow. Next week is Thanksgiving, so I'll only be working 3 days. I'm not super broke right now because I'm working weekends at Corrie's studio, but with the holidays coming up, I need the cash for Christmas presents. I'm going to ask if I could possibly stay a few hours later next week to gain some time I missed this week. . My boss alreadt said we could work something out for it and he's pretty good when it comes to negotiating so I don't think he would have a problem with it. I want to work. I enjoy work most of the time. I need the money and I think it would show my boss that I care about work. I'm just hoping that I really not going to get fired in a few weeks. I'm probably getting too emotional and concerned over nothing.
