Work Work Work
What a week.
In addition to the political stuff at home, DC has been keeping me quite busy.
On Monday afternoon, I was asked to help out on a rush project that took up much of the week. While creative and challenging it was also on a tight deadline with Wednesday being the first milestone. Fortunately, we got the first step done and approved so was able to get the rest of the project completed on deadline.
In between bouts of rushing around, my colleagues Dale and Scott were not around – Dale on a press check and Scott on jury duty – so took time out to cover some of their work to keep things flowing.
And of course, there was my own work that needed attending to as well. Fortunately, with one exception, all of my titles are running ahead of schedule. That allowed time for rush projects and coverage. Still, approved work, commissioned some new covers and even found time to start doing preliminary planning for 2006.
It wasn't all exhausting. There was also the thrill of receiving the first shrink-wrapped copy of Batman: Cover to Cover which looks amazing. I'm really proud of this one. Plus I saw Robbin Brosterman's design for another big project (you'll hear about it in a few weeks) and am suitably impressed. Plus got some clearances to do stuff on another project we haven't announced yet so there's been a nice balance between hard work and good rewards.
Still, I found myself going home each night tired. Deb left for London on Wednesday so there was stuff to cover there, too. Of course, Monday there was the Democratic Town Meeting and Thursday there was the Parking Authority. Tonight, I’m working late, awaiting the arrival of my delightful daughter, coming home for spring break. I’ll collect her at Penn Station and whisk her back to Connecticut where, fortunately, the weather is not as bad as it could have been.
Tomorrow, at least, I get to sleep.
