Post and Pie
Well, today I finally got the first copy of the Perinatal Post, the company newsletter I produce, back from the printer. I'm generally happy with how it turned out -- it's a purple and black four-pager, with nice large photos of adobable babies and concerned doctors -- although the printer did manage to bungle my headline font, replacing Quorum Black BT with Times New Roman. An annoying mix-up, since Times is the Captain's Wafer of the typesetting world (thin and forgettable), but it's probably my fault, and they gave me a free Sam's Choice apple pie with my 2,000 copies. So no complaints here.
It feels good to have the first issue printed: I feel a little less pressure, and the docs I work for now know what I'm doing all day (besides blogging). I celebrated by taking myself to lunch at Lupi's where I consumed a pepperoni calzone and a New York Times article on the making of Scotch whiskey.
When I got back to the office, the nurses had eaten the whole pie. They said it was very tasty.

Posted by: dp at July 17, 2003 01:20 AMI'm sorry about the font mixup. I am anal about fonts (I hate Comic Sans!) and totally feel your pain. Sorry that you didn't get any pie to make up for your loss.
