    Expanding the Role

    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.

    Employee Input

    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.

    We Don’t Preflight

    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.

    We Don’t Preflight

    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...

    Demotivated

    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.

    Newspaper Executive Says Newspapers Are Finished

    Torstar Media has just been sold. It will be interesting to see what that evolves into. Torstar is a fairly major newspaper publisher.

    Covid-19 Creates Opportunity

    Grind the alcohol treated sheet into a pulp, mix with 7Up and sit under a UV lamp while sipping your drink. Add tiny umbrella for effect. Works as well as bleach!

    Splatter/reactive target printing

    Sounds similar to a scratch lottery ticket where a film overlay is applied.

    Books cut in polar *need advice*

    Couple thoughts. Make sure the blade is sharp. Try turning the books so the spine is facing the opposite direction in the cutter. Also check clamp pressure.

    Asking for charitable donations

    I used to go by there often. I think early, mid 80's. Had friends that lived on Sproat Lake across from the water bombers. During summer I'd go most weekends. The Ferry was affordable then and one could generally find a party of sorts on the car deck. I seem to recall the store having good...

    Asking for charitable donations

    Is there still goats on the roof in Coombs?

    Asking for charitable donations

    Around here, the weekly rag is dumped roadside, not even vaguely close to people's doors. Many are left to disintegrate in the rain, snow, wind. I'd estimate 75% of the rest go directly to the recycle bin. After having been rained on for several hours they're unreadable anyway. Those who still...

    The great thing about the corona virus

    I don't think that's from The Onion. I think it could be the real thing! Say it isn't so.

    The great thing about the corona virus

    That's because you're a heathen. It's here, but you tube again so might be temporary: If that doesn't work, go to the source: http://www.s4ctroops.com/

    An online tool to check your covid-19 risk

    It appears I don't have COVID, however my chances of becoming a serial killer have increased 10 fold since making a trip to the grocery store.

    Coronavirus Sanity by expert Dr John Ioannidis

    I'm with Erik. And the media has such a history of making wayyyy too much out of everything - until the next 'big' item comes along. It's a bit like network TV dragging serials out long after their prime is over, squeezing every last drop.

    The great thing about the corona virus

    Yeah, you've got me there. Short memory. I'd like to say youngster, except I can recall your CK days. That makes me ancient - but still not as old as you! Now that you bring this up, there was a time when the welfare doctor of a pretty major city was one of the biggest drug dealers in town...

    Crop larger

    Not sure about Pitstop because I find Quite Imposing simple for altering page size. But you could always drop the PDF into an InDesign page & run out a new PDF. Not the question you asked but a solution if that's what you needed.
