Cheerful little number. Marc Ribot on guitar. Well, I learned the trade from Piggy Knowles Sing Sing Tommy Shay, boys God used me as a hammer, boys To beat his weary drum today Hoist that rag! Sun is up, the world is flat Damn good address for a rat The smell of blood, the drone of flies You...

Those of you in other countries; sit back with your popcorn and enjoy the show.

Seems we're missing the big picture here. Shouldn't stores have prices clearly marked on products in the first place? They've already pretty much destroyed the concept of customer service — why online shopping is so prevalent now. They even have us checking ourselves out and bagging our own...

Tape to me. Could be other names for it.

I see this post has popped up again. It's been over a year so thought I'd give it another go. Got a zero last time. This time I believe I had to fiddle more with the colours and I got a two. Next year if I score worse I'll know my life is coming to an end. In light of happenings around the...

Told him it was chemistry a couple days ago. Maybe he doesn't know how to change them.

A few years ago there was a span where quite a few customers wanted a QR Code on their business cards & promo pieces. It seemed to be a case of wanting to be 'on trend'. Monkey see, monkey do. Naturally realtors were all over it. I always wondered who the f__k gave that much of a s__t that they...

If the image is OK for a couple thousand and then begins to fade/break down, my guess is 99% old chemistry in the camera. Replace the chemistry and you should be good. Increasing pressure on the blanket is only going to destroy the blanket. I would say that's a problem if your image was...

This brings to mind WMIS regulations that employees must understand for use around chemicals. It's sole purpose is designed to protect the manufacturer. Regulations pretty much state that since one is constantly handling solvents, gloves (at minimum) should be worn. What they don't say is that...

Hmm. This is a can of worms. As Priceline points out, it gets into legal issues. This isn't the forum for it. I took some law - never finished. Hopefully you have a record of all correspondence & transactions. If all is you describe, I smell an out of court settlement. Sucks, not right, but...

If this were a car, it would be sold as a demonstrator and be discounted. Discounts can be fudged because there's no set price — it's negotiable. Have you been given the full warranty as offered on a new machine? If so I wouldn't sweat it too much . . .however IMHO you should have been given a...

You don't. Farm out the job to a printer with appropriate equipment, match the colour paper to the background ink and adjust the Pantone to CMYK. Otherwise you're on a fools errand. For example; what happens when the customer returns next month and wants a different colour paper. First rule...

Don't get me started about the requirement of a doctor's note for time off.

Now that, would be considered a poor attitude in my experience. The objective was more work, same pay. Employee called him on it. Her days are numbered.

My wife is the same. She'll ask me about something. I'll tell her. She will then ask a store sales person or someone else the exact same question for confirmation. Usually while I'm standing right beside her. Just to let me know she thinks I'm an idiot.

That's when you put through their file as is and let the chips fall. Not suggested for a large job because chances are you won't be paid and will never hear from that person again. Not a bad thing.

I fix a lot of files free. It's a lot faster & easier than explaining why and I'd end up having to teach them how to do it anyway, which I don't have the time or patience for. Then you have to explain that, yes we actually do charge for this sort of thing, it's what we do for a living. If it's...

Saw several letterpress operators eventually lose their jobs because they couldn't adapt to offset. They were required to learn & run an offset machine part of the day because there was no longer enough letterpress work. Used to work with a guy who'd get pissed at the Compugraphic (I *think* it...

On the other hand, if the flame does get out of control, you may never have to worry about the virus, or anything else, ever again. heh,heh,heh.
