I don't know where we're going, but I know where I am (part 9)

Isn't it mad how much you'd miss it?.

Some food shopping done, hobble home time

indeed it's mad!

Left work early, 3.30pm and managed to get home by 5pm, a minor miracle considering the M50 & N7 are my route, sweet jaysus it would normally do your head in but not that bad this eve with the early exit from work.
Sitting in kitchen supping a craft beer, it's an alcoholic ginger beer! Must say it's damn refreshing, doubt you'd drink more than two of 'em but that's all I bought anyway. Can't beat a naughty drinky-poo midweek with a couple of tunes.
A friend who's a graphic artist was showing me a wedding invitation he got asked to design and it's a stunning photo they chose of a beautiful pool-side setting in a sunny foreign hotel where it will take place, but in the very centre of the photo there's a gigantic umbrella and whatever way the umbrella goes up with the unfurled top it just looked like an enormous giant penis. As soon as you looked at the photo you couldn't help but straight away think, yep massive cock. But its the photo they chose. So I'm not sure how it ended but he was tasked with the unenviable challenge of doctoring the photo and maybe they then ask him why he doctored it OR he could email them back and say look, there's a massive cock in the middle of your wedding invite photo
You get some good ones in the printing trade, we had one woman ask us to print some posters for her dairy related company and she was stood in front of the building sign saying something like Go-Cow but her head was covering up the "Go" so she was basically asking for 500 posters of herself with the word COW slightly to the right of her head.
And going back a while in the old days there was negative film used for printing. So basically if you had a tricky logo instead of re-drawing it you would cut out the logo from the negative and splice it together with other bits of film and produce the printing plate for the printer. Anyway....... So one day I cut the logo from the negative for a man's business card and joined it up with other negatives but I got it badly wrong and he ended up with 1000 business cards with their company logo and his own name but his colleague's direct line and his other colleague's email address and his other colleague's mobile number! :pac:
So with this one card you could contact him AND all of his employees but it was roulette which of them you'd get
I tried in vein to suggest it could be handy coz you could get in touch with the entire company with just one card. Needless to say we didn't get paid for them.
