electriclandA large box containing paper with writing on is officially on its way to Pennsylvania. Jeremy and I had to take a taxi to Ville St. Laurent to get it there, but it's on its way.
Stats:
Let the record show that we would have been in MUCH BETTER shape had a certain medical writer remembered that the damn disease state presentation had to be referenced. It's not like I didn't ask him if it was under control, and it's not like he didn't assure me it was. Anyway, he is now feeling contrite which I hope will prove a salutary lesson to him and improve life for everyone in the future. (In fact I had to tell him that he gets 12 more hours to wallow in guilt, after which he has to knock it off.) However, that was MUCH CLOSER than I like to cut things.
Just finished customizing the project management site so if there is a disaster, they will at least be able to get the documents off that.
Actually considering the timeline I think we did very well. Thank God for my freelancers and coworkers who pitched in at the last minute -- would never have done it otherwise.
Tomorrow I get to pick up the pieces of my other 8 projects! Yay!
Stats:
- 37 documents (not all of them created by us, but all to be kept track of and sent), including 6 that required cross-referencing to original sources, in quadruplicate -- 1 set in colour, 3 in B&W, not all formatted but the slide presentation looks quite lovely
- Original sources, in quadruplicate: I have no idea how many, but it was a lot
- 1 Quicktime movie
- 2 CDs (hope to God Customs doesn't decide to open the damn box because I forgot about the declaration and if they find those we are SCREWED. Oh wait, you don't need a customs declaration for CDs, just a harmonized code. Well, I forgot the harmonized code, but we'll hope for the best. I feel better now. It's videos you need a customs declaration for.)
- Total weight: 42 pounds, not including the 4 sets of references that went ahead last week and was, if memory serves, 8 kilos, for a total of around 60 pounds
- Total packages of photocopy paper: again, I have no clue, but certainly a hell of a lot -- see above
- 3 weeks of everyone's life; why do I have no grey hairs so far? Can only be genetics.
- Taxi and courier charges: don't even ask (but a lot better than the $1800 it would have been to get it driven door to door)

Deep Breathe....
Date: 2003-02-18 08:07 pm (UTC)Wow, sounds like you need more than a deep breathe. You need a week of them and of course a few drinks. :-D
Glad you got that all finished, hope the other eight are nowhere near a frustration

Date: 2003-02-18 08:29 pm (UTC)Actually it's a miracle we got the thing done. Not sure I quite believe it yet. I've left scattered bits of it all over the office. I think the worst part was definitely when Jeremy said (at, oh, 7:45) "Question 4 isn't referenced in the presentation any more. I can reference it from original sources but we don't actually give them the information to answer it."
Gaaaah. OK, breathing.
I am taking Friday off... we'll see about the drinks then. ;-D
Congrats!
Date: 2003-02-18 09:28 pm (UTC)Done with Style and Panache, as always!
