About a week ago, I was feeling pretty happy with myself. I was a proofreading machine. I was marking things in red and sending corrections to our designer. I was as clear as last Saturday, as succinct as a pushpin. I was downloading files, naming folders, and clicking and dragging stuff like nobody's business. I was shipping things to prepress like I knew what I was doing. I was shipping things to prepress like I knew what prepress was!

But that was last week. This week, I'm sick and tired of the October issue. I wish it would die. The Ad Index came in and busted my butt. I don't know how many of you guys out there spend much time enjoying the Ad Index, but I'd like you to know that we put a lot of love into it. And now I wish it would die. When you receive your October issue, look for the Ad Index on page 215 and tell it I said, "Hello."

The good news is: All of our edit pages have shipped to prepress. Are we on schedule?

Who knows?¹

Footnote 1: Dear bosses, I am kidding. We are totally on schedule, dudes. Ha! This issue is in the bag like my lunch.
