Long day at work today. Major deadline looming Friday (which really means Monday by 9 AM) and it's funny, because this is a regular occurance, especially in the land of educational publishing.

quickly, because I'm busy, but those pages I was worried about? I'm now creative director on the project. Responsible for design, prototyping and templating.
