HOLY FUCKING SHIT

First, I want to start this by pointing out that I saw Star Trek at the early showing tonight and it was awesome, plus I got a sweet glow-in-the-dark poster. I love Star Trek always and forever. 

That being said, I AM PISSED RIGHT NOW.

I worked on a layout and article for a magazine that is produced for one of my classes. Weeks ago, we set various design standards, including the body copy font. 

Earlier today, they made a decision to change the font to a variation of it that is noticeably bigger and set wider, which fucked up a layout I made weeks ago. No rationale given, no opinions taken and extra work I don’t need. 

Additionally, the whole copyediting process is a shit show. Instead of using Google Docs in its intended manner, we’ve been uploading separate documents.Yesterday I found out we’re supposed to upload these things multiple times after they’re been read by the multiple people in the chain, despite being told otherwise weeks ago.

All of this is happening five days before we go to print and we’ve been working on the magazine since the second week of April. 

YOU DICKS NEED TO PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF EACH OTHERS ASSES. 

All of this feels petty written out. It was suggested that I just have control issues. I think I’m just annoyed with the stupidity and inefficiency of it all. 

Anyway, writing this was cathartic. Time to get back to work.
