I interviewed w/ a woman that was both pretty and had a ginormous chest. I got confused at what to stare at most. I didn't get the job.
Yeah, I'm pretty good at making and keeping eye contact. Unfortunatly, I'm also really good at tripping over words and stammering when it's returned... You'd think that would have changed at some point in life, but it never has...
Note to any girls reading this - if you see me acting like that, make a move. I'm usually better after that...

The Doc publisher 6100 type is totally overrated, especially the

Here in Vt. there are only about 25 doc's in the whole state.
Obviously, no doc jobs. I worked for XERoX in Delaware for a while
in 2000. I cant wait to get back into a state that has Doc's - 0 - plenty.
I ***** about having to run them, but then am sad when I cant....Go figure
Good luck...you're qualified !
Man, the 135s are kind of like playing original nintendo games. Company X should have totally marketed the OS that they made for that machine - it was basically windows/mac before either came out with their cross-platform stuff. The touch screen was a nice touch, but the doc feeder was crap (at least on my machine) and it took way too much time to set anything up. I don't know, just because it's the original doesn't make it the best. The 61XX series has flaws, but the separation of the print engine from the prepress/digipath stations makes a lot of sense. True, the actual machinery besides software and chipsets hasn't changed much, but if you're looking for jobs with that peice of machinery, um...
Your days are numbered.
Like the Komori press operator that I talked to today. He was surprised I came back, and also had no idea what the processes were on digital. But he did know that everyone was moving towards what I'm doing, and said that he wasn't happy about us making him obsolete. I guess there are a lot of shops around town that are getting rid of their ink-based stuff and moving to digital.
Even on the B&W end, most shops can't justify owning something like a 135. Most of what I see B&W these days is on offset shells and variable. You just can't really make money on anything else in volume...
Sorry for the long assed post, but that's what I'm seeing.
