I'm headed to Miami for 3 days then San Francisco for 2 days, then Chicago for 2 days, the following week, so I stayed late to make sure all my paperwork was in order and everything prepped that could be. It's not going to be the easiest set of jobs; the one in Miami has already changed shape half a dozen times, most of which was completely unnecessary...but when you're dealing with people who like to see the worst possible scenario, there's not much you can do but ride the wave they send your way.
I think it's all settled now and everyone has calmed down, but you never know until the job is done. And I can't get into detail about it due to the sensitive nature of the shipment. All I can say is, had we done what I'd initially suggested, we'd never have this problem. But such is life in the big city.
The job in San Francisco is far more fun -- a collection of Japanese books from the 17th - 19th century. I've seen the collection and it is amazing. Most of them are illustrated in either the Kyoto style or Japanese Traditional style, sort of like precursors to Manga and Yaoi, but with more detail and delicacy. I'm looking forward to working up this shipment.
I'm trying to update the electronic editions of Porno Manifesto and A65, before I go, since I found and corrected typos in them when I did their reformatting. Pretty damned embarrassing...but even JK Rowling keeps finding typos in her work after checking it 19 times, so she and I are kinsmen, in that...
Wish I had her sales...
