Not in France

That was the second pension fund... (Remember, the first (and main) pension fund bankrupted last year and its CEO is now tanning on a nice Bahamas' beach with all your money stashed in his secret off-shore account...)

Tell me about it: since I left an 18-year career in prepress almost 8 years ago, I still have recurring nightmares of getting back to prepress, right back in this same company I left... :(:(:(

Story of my life, too!

Unless he also needs a blanket while he waits for his RIP to process?

Joyeux Noël à tous ! ;)

... unless you want to be hired by the printer who offers the best price?

But in your case it does: (despite I am out of printing business since more than 7 years) each sunday your new cartoon is my little evening pleasure :) (and a gentle reminder of my old life ;), plus a huge reminder of how I am happy to have left this business!!! :D)

I did that, once: the file went straight to another printer, without any changes... and we lost the customer!

You forgot the best one: "I make this job since 40 years and I never had any troubles with the other printers" (40 years, yeah, really?...)

Good to go for me too. You also can write: "Photos non contractuelles" (plural) "Photo non contractuelle" (singular) It means that everything showed by the picture-s is not the real absolute reality: color may vary, shape, packaging, size, real product, etc.

Sorry, you're right, I completely missed your tongue-in-cheek... (perhaps should you have add a "Tongue-in-cheek" smiley? :rolleyes:) I have to add in my defence that I have heard so many people saying the same crap very seriously and strongly believing they are the best pressmen in the world...

Edit: Ok, it's humour... But let me answer as if your post was for real! Going by numbers, with at least generic color profiles adapted to the paper and densitometers is the first step to colour management. Then, using all the modern digital means (closed loop with calibrated screen, RVB chain...

The difference being that when you are charitable with your own money, it's your money and you know exactly how much it costs you... ... although french workers don't pay any collection themself, so nobody forces us to pay anything... ... cause everything is paid by the boss and the company...

No, I hadn't... simply because before reading your post I even didn't know this system could exist! So, following your advice, I just had a look to GoFundMe: today more than 4,500 people are asking for help to pay their medical bills! And the foreword on the "Medical, Illness & Healing" page...

It's not corrupted, it's provided by private companies in a capitalist system, and, to be more realistic, in the USA it's in an unchecked capitalist system. Let's talk a little bit about politic: we live in a capitalist world. The basis and only goal of the capitalism is to earn as much money...

You're welcome. And I'm glad to see that you understand my point: it's not a political debate or argument, I'm not trying to convince you, I'm only sharing. (not all the details: french healthcare works great but is not absolutely perfect, it's sometime a little bit more complicated and there...

That's also (one of) the reason why many french people cross the channel to work (and live) in the UK: because they find the attendant moral obligations of the french society to be unacceptable. That's also the reason why many english people cross the channel in the opposite direction, to work...

I completely agree with you. And I prefer the latter answer: I fell like being a part of the (french) society, and I take the advantages offered by the society, while accepting the attendant moral obligations, also knowing that this society will never give up on me and will protect me as much...

Yeees... because today you can afford, and you'll have your healthcare as long as you will afford, or as long as you will have your job. But what happens to you and your healthcare if you are fired tomorrow (if you are an employe) or if your company is bankrupted tomorrow? Do you keep your...
