morslaIt must be getting close to That Time Of Year.
I came in to work today to find a plastic Christmas tree on my monitor. It glows with colour-changing LEDs, and is plugged in to a spare USB port...
I've run out of manuscripts to work on, so I'm scanning photos for another project today. Some of them are okay. Some of them are printed out on a low-res inkjet printer, and have horizontal lines every few milimetres. Some of them are photos of photos that were taken in 1914, and have two generations of scratches, stains and blotches.
Fortunately we're only printing in greyscale... but it's still a long process getting the pictures to a vaguely printable quality. On the worst of them, I'm basically re-drawing the damaged parts of the image. I like to draw, though, and at least I'm getting paid for it.
