I went back to work today. I was away from the office long enough that it felt a little weird being back, but not long enough that anything really weird had happened while I was out. And, overall, it was really just a normal day at work. There’s a little panic that a couple of the stock photos we thought we’d licensed for a book right before I left for the holidays were not, in fact, purchased, and the images are no longer available. And of course this happens when the authors are unavailable, incommunicado for at least a couple more weeks. And with photos that were particularly tough to select the first time around. I’m hoping it will just turn out to be a mistake, that we have the files licensed but they weren’t uploaded by the art department with the rest.
Beyond that, though, just a typical Monday.
