It started yesterday. I got a request for a rush pocket folder design. They have to be produced by next Friday, which means I have to have art to the printer by this Wednesday . . . that's tomorrow. Some time ago, I told my youngest daughter I would take her to get her driver's license this morning and in order to get the folder art out for a first proof this morning, I decided to work late yesterday. I left the office around 11:00 last night, but I got the layout finished, complete with die lines for all the folds and diecuts on the folder.
My daughter and I drove an hour to get to the Driver's Testing office this morning, arriving at just about 8:00. There weren't that many cars in the parking lot so we thought it would go quickly. Oh, it did. We went inside and discovered that testing is by appointment only now, and they don't take the appointments there, you have to either call or go online to make an appointment. I called. The first available time at this facility is July 23. Fortunately, there is an appointment available tomorrow morning at 9:00 . . . in another county. Sounds like a road trip to me. My daughter and I are going to be there at 8:45 in the morning. I wish the State of Tennessee had informed us that the rules for getting driver's license had changed on June 1. They should have called, emailed, or written all those people who currently possess learner's permits and informed them that the rules have changed. Why bother giving them an email address, phone number, and address if they don't use it!
In the meantime, when I arrived at work this morning, three hours past my normal start time, the first email I read was about the folder. It seems that $15 each is not in the budget, so now I have to design art for a foil stamped, plastic folder, instead of the diecut paperboard one. Back to square one. There's my double mini-rant for the day. This should be an interesting day.
The good news is . . . the Harry Potter movie will be in theaters tonight . . . at midnight.

I got a certan little girl shes on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
Shes the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes shes gonna make me feel so bad
Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and Im not to blame now

I know just what you mean. We stood in line forever the four times my oldest flunked his test. Once the system was down and they did not even bother to tell anyone, just let us stand there for an hour and a half.
The folks that work there have to be there eight hours a day, no matter what, so they could care less about the people standing in line. That is customer service at its best!
