after work yesterday, i swallowed some pride and went to kinko's armed with my comic strip, a cd-r and a little bit of cash.

i'v e had bad experiences with kinko's in the past. most of the graphic design students have. i'm pretty sure, i've gone in there with many a bad attitude before, "if it's not the way i want it, i won't pay," attitude the day before the project was due. also, working for the competition for awhile didn't help.

however, there are some nice people there. like tracy's jeff and there's misty. 8^) they are cool.

i guess the typical kinko's way of doing things just don't cut it for designers. i've been trying to be nicer each time i go in since my experience working behind a photocopier.
another reason we designers can be so picky is that we can see it a certain way, but do not have access (usually) to the cool things they have behind the counter. we must tell them what to do and hope they get it right.
also, this kinko's close at 11 p.m. i understand that jonesboro it a bit small, it is the first one i've heard of that doesn't stay open 24/7. r
eally annoying when your project is due at 8 a.m. and it's midnight and they're closed.

i have heard so many horror stories about renting a computer there, fonts that didn't match, printers out of ink, but i felt that i had no other option.
i starting to scan.
wait! they didn't have a cd-rw drive! no!!!
one of the employees, clint i think, made the suggestion of saving it to one of their zip disks and then taking it to their computer behind the counter (where all the goodies are) to burn it onto my cd-r.
oh, thank you!
i made it out of there for only $1.71, for just 8 minutes of computer time. woo hoo!
by 9:15 or 9:30 i had my comic online and i was back at home. yea me!

my love called me! i'm glad he made it there safe. 8^) i can't wait to see him this weekend.

about time for bed and my lower back is hurting. hhmmm. how odd.
what did i do? i really don't know. it still bugs me a little today. i must took some motrin.
it's lower back, near kidneys i think. it's not a sharp pain either. more dull. doesn't throb, it's just there.
feels more tired and over used than anything else.
i hope it gets better.

tonight i move my computer! yea!

it's almost lunchtime. *hungry*
