What a lousy day yesterday. First the snow completely stopped traffic in the city. Just driving to and from my appointments yesterday I was in the car for over six hours! Sometimes not even moving on the road but stuff amid the traffic. I got so bored with the radio that it would be turned off and then suddenly I would think, oh turn it on it is too quiet in here, and then I would realize it had been an hour and a half. No wonder I was ready for the radio again. I swear people can’t drive in the snow. It is not like it is a surprise, we always get snow, but as soon as it falls, people in the city drive like they are afraid the boogeyman is going to get them. Then to add to it, the layout for the cover of the book went great; the interior text not so much. We are having trouble with our fonts. They are not translating the fractions from my Word document to the my InDesign template. Umm, going to be pretty hard to have a cookbook if I can’t have fractions. A half a teaspoon!!!! Pretty frustrated. But honestly last night I was bone tired. I have made myself sick in the process and am not getting nearly enough sleep, in fact I can barely relax to sleep. I just want to get through this last push and solve all these problems. But every step there seems to be a new one. Totally sucks. I know it is just because I want it so badly but man, this last push is tough. I talked with some of the experts here at work about how to solve the fraction problem. They suggested changing the font, which I was loathe to do, I liked the look of the book in the ones I choose, but if I do change them, they think the fractions will flow. It may just be a matter of the two programs not recognizing each other’s fonts. I am going to try that and hope for the best! Otherwise a new problem will arise. But tackle problem with solution one and see if it works. If not back to the drawing board. I heard the army solves problems this way as well!! Now if only I had a whole team of people working on it so much the better!!!
