My life as a hamster...

alexpgpThe 47-pager was put on hold, then canceled, which elicits no disappointment from me. The file that arrived was a PDF, and after taking a good, close look at it, I was not looking forward to working with it because only about 5,000 words actually appear as text, the rest showing up in about six gazillion labels in an endless progression of flow diagrams.
To make up for the disappointment, the client sent a 19-slide PowerPoint file whose originator felt the need to use graphics to depict the titles. The nasty, reptilian part of my brain fervently hopes the originator spent a lot of time carefully crafting his impressive-looking titles (which admittedly do look very nice... I particularly like the diffused 3-D shadow effect), because nobody among his American audience will see them - <cackle> - as I have replaced them with rather utilitarian text boxes.
As I write this, I have a handful of slides left to translate, after which I plan to decompress in front of the tube for an hour, after which I need to put a dent in the software manual I agreed to do for Sunday.
LJ Idol? What's that? <grin>
Cheers...
