What a day!

  
Oh my, what a day this has been. I went to the mechanics and then straight to work. It was really hectic there. Usually we are done designing half an hour before the deadline but today I sent the last page with only a few minutes left.

It has been worse though. Last summer I had to design a page in ten minutes (usually it takes over an hour) and I was only a few seconds away from missing the deadline but luckily I didn't. It was because the reporter and the photographer gave me the materials too late. If we, for any reason, miss the deadline it's really, really expensive for the newspaper.

I guess I should show you and tell you more about what I really do as a news designer. Not now though, I work daytime tomorrow so I have to go to bed.

 

I better eat something first, I'm starving.
