Will's Summer Holiday (login: bugmenot@annoying.li, passwd bugmenot).
I am tired on account of having stayed up working until 3.30 this morning and not getting home until 4.38. Haven't done that since college. The boss had a deadline for a huge piece of shul art commemorating donors, and it wouldn't have taken so long except that they'd chosen paper which was absolutely bloody awful to do anything on - really coarse, loose fibres, dreadful uneven surface, and picked up dirt like nobody's business. Lovely for watercolours, crap for calligraphy. Cleaning the dirt off alone took somewhere around six hours, and the letters kept coming off while we were doing it. By the time it was finished we were too tired to celebrate. And I got to go home and sleep until lunchtime, but the poor boss had to get on a plane and take it to Toronto, and give a whole presentation about Torahs.
