new job duty

I now have a new title: Graphic Artist/Production Assistant. On Wednesday I'll be learning how to use a printing press so we can get the black & white components ready more quickly, since our head pressman has been spending more time with the 4-color jobs this year. Since our new music is mostly finished for this year, and with the switch to series covers rather than individual covers next year, there is/will be less graphics work than before, so rather than hire a new person (which they can't afford), they're going to give me a dual role.

This will make me much more marketable for future jobs in my field, because I'll better understand the whole printing process, from beginning to end. My job will also be less monotonous because I'll be doing graphics work some days, and press work other days. Coolness.
