the only good news...

is, I'm getting type! Yup, type. As in lead. As in the wonderful archaic little pieces I torture myself with so lovingly. I am so.... excited! It's been a really rough week. I'm experiencing what I hope is a temporary exposure to the morally bankrupt/evil empire/vicious/Professor Coldheart inspired side of corporate America. It's been very disheartening. then, out of the blue, today I received a call from a printer who was referred to me by someone I work with. He had been told I knew something about press maintenance and has an very profitable proposition. He has a hobby printer shop with a currently out of commission Universal press. In exchange for the repair of said press, he will give me 5-10 cases of type along with a type cabinet. yes, give. beautiful, right? Funny thing is I had been asked to contact this printer regarding his broken press and had attempted to do so on several occasions but had never been successful. last week I had finally become convinced it was never gonna pan out and that he was way too flaky and now suddenly he appears. it's magic. magic, I tell you. magic. whatever, I'm just thrilled that I'll have type.
