Spoke too soon.

Remember when I said that this insert went a lot smoother than the previous ones?

Silly me.

I figured that 2 days before we went to press if the client seemed ok with it, there would only be minor changes, which are expected and aren't really any big deal. Well. Not so fast there, Shooter. They decided that we needed a new cover, so we had a photo shoot scheduled for yesterday. Then about half an hour before I was supposed to leave, another "emergency" tourism project came up that I needed to be here to write, so Lisa had to go on the shoot by herself. The result of that emergency is attached here. It's a half-page ad in a magazine called Destination Cape Breton. It's being inserted today.

Well, anyway, since the client decided that they needed a new cover, they decided that maybe the rest of it needed a facelift, too. So Lisa, Ryan, Danielle and I were here last night until 2:30 in the morning making changes and fixes. And we're not done yet. As I type this, it's 10:00 am, the insert is due to go to press at 5 and I am waiting for the client to get back to me with final copy changes. Then I need to make the changes.

Good times.
