Moonlighting (Bruce Willis style)

My first night of moonlighting from Noizex and I'm so god damn tired!!

I had to do a 3D mockup for a DVD menu. They needed something to show their client first thing this morning. So after getting home at 7pm I tried to start work on it right away. Unfortunately my PC didn't want to help me get my job done. Illustrator decided to be a bitch and did not want to open the Illustrator sketch files I was sent. After hunting down my setup CD and doing a reinstall of it aswell as looking for help on google, I was still unable to get it to open the damn files.

I'll leave out the gory details but by the time I got everything setup, and the Illustrator files opened in Freehand, it was 12am. I then had 3 hours of fun trying to match the look of the sketches and sample photos of car parts (it's some car related DVD). Eventually it was 15min till 3am and I was about to pass out. So I collapsed the PSD layers saved out tiff's with alpha channels and emailed them off. I then got 4hrs of sleep, got up at 7am and came to work (I'm day shift this week for training, I start night time next week).

This morning, about 10min ago actually. They called me up saying thanks for the work but the guy that was originally suppose to do them finished it on time so they are using them.

So basically I I'm a zombie right now for no god damn reason. Sure I'm billing them for 3hrs work but since it's not being used I'd rather have slept then get the money.

arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

[addendum] If any of this post made no sense, then whatever, I'm half asleep, leave me along :P
