A Disturbing Feeling of Success
Oct. 12th, 2005 04:37 pm
I'm not used to being praised at work, or being made to feel like I'm doing a good job. Which is why I'm uneasy over the business of the business cards.
When my ex-supervisor approached me with the idea of doing the business cards for the MH aides in-house, she was doubtful it could be done. I said "no problem", though I couldn't duplicate one of the background watermarks.
And it turned out to be as easy as I thought: open up Pagemaker, set up the guidelines, write in the text of one of the cards, pop in the logos from the files, group it, and copy as needed. Badda-bing badda-boom, a sheet of 2-sided business cards ready for printing.
And everybody is making a big deal out of it, like it was some major feat of graphic design. I got Mentioned by Name in e-mails. I'm quietly going "Come ON, this is what desktop publishing is FOR!".
But it's nice to be appreciated.
