The Weekly Wrap-Up: March 18-22, 2019
I am amazing.
Increíble.
Also, my humility knows no bounds.
I don't care.
Spanish is done.
Once more for the people in the back.
SPANISH IS DONE!!!!!!!
I never have to touch another Spanish booklet. (Until we start Castilian. But I'm just going to bask in this little victory, so don't bother me with trifles.)
And yes, it took me most of the week to do. There are 81 files that had to be produced. Five times. It takes a while.
But it's done!
Part of the delay was training this week. Though I only had to go part of Wednesday and Thursday. And Monday, actually. It was a smaller group this week, but I think that's okay. It gives a more hands on learning environment. Though we are already pretty interactive. Fortunately, I just had to provide assistance with the app learning and then I got to help Sarah in the kitchen. My knife skills are legendary.
So what do I do with these odd hours on a Friday afternoon when my big project is done and I don't want to start something new and equally big?
File maintenance.
I know. Scintillating stuff.
Seriously, though, I may have a 1TB hard drive at work, but it fills up fast, especially with InDesign files. So I try to make a little time to compress the files we're no longer actively working in. We might still need them in the future, so we can't just delete them. But we want them to take as little space as possible. Plus, it makes my computer run faster if there are fewer files. I probably got rid of more than 1,000 files in just two languages.
I just wish there was an easier way to do it.
Oh well. I get the job done.
But that should give you a good idea of just how many files we create during this process. It's probably more than we actually need, but they do come in handy on occasion.
And that's about it. You're very lucky to get this, actually. I shut down my computer once already before posting. I only did that because I'm on the phone with my dad, and he's very distracting. I think I'm done now.
Adios.
Increíble.
