Alright, I need to face it… I’m a terrible graphics editor. I am not a micro person at all. I am so frustrated that I make so many stupid little editing errors like putting the wrong price in the sheet or forgetting to put a price in at all. I just wind up kicking myself with all the dumb things that I do and it winds up costing me money. I’m trying to make an effort to get better at it, but I am still making the errors. I have people look at my work, but no one around here does what I do, so they have no clue what they are looking at anyway.
I am preparing to go to Vegas tomorrow for our corporate meeting and I have a price sheet that is wrong. Well, it’s not wrong completely, it’s just not completely right. And it pisses me off so badly. The other problem with my job is that if I make a mistake, I have to live with it for the entire year. I have 5,000 copies of this price sheet and they are expensive. So, I can’t just chuck them and start over. This is also the SECOND publication that I have had a problem with this year. I already had to reprint my order forms because I forgot to put shipping on the costs. I would have lost more in the shipping than the cost to reprint. AGHHH!
When I think about how much money I waste on mistakes, it just kills me. The order form reprint is going to cost me a timeshare payment. I would think after enough I would learn to ask someone to help edit it. But noooooo… so I guess I have burned enough cash that I have learned my lesson. Now, I’m going to be extra careful with anything I send out. I can create it without problem, but now I have to make sure the finished product is what I want.
I’m so frustrated I may have to eat some pudding myself.
