The 10th Circle of Hell: Graphic Design Edition

1.    Receive project: collate a bunch of reports, add page numbers, standardize formatting, print as booklet.
2.    Think to self, “Self, this is just a simple batch of office documents for a meeting. This shouldn’t be so complicated. I don’t have to set this up in InDesign, I can do it in Word. Besides, it’s got a tight deadline, and this way will be faster.”
3.    Spent four days (FOUR DAYS) watch Word eat formatting, reflow pages, and just plain erase perfectly good chunks of the document for fun.
4.    Finally finish document. Discover that the printer can’t have it ready for deadline. 
5.    Bash head against wall.
6.    Get concussion, and forget how to use InDesign.
7.    Become DOOMED to layout documents in Word FOOOOOREEEEEVEEEEEER!

So, that’s my week. How’s you?
