Piles and piles of grading.
Migraine.
Have to miss a family party.
Proof #4 of Half-Vamp just arrived AND IT'S MISSING OVER 100 PAGES!!! There's nothing wrong with the PDF, and the createspace folks are unlikely to want to help or even answer my e-mail today -- or possibly until January.
It's a beautiful day outside and I'd like to be out doing something, but it's not going to happen.
UPDATE: 12/24/11 at 2:00 PM
I've continued to correspond with the createspace folks. I've told them that I can certainly upload my PDF again, but what I need from them is to figure out what happened so that it does not happen again (cutting off everything from page 108 onward in the book, actually a total of 95 pages-- I exaggerated a bit yesterday. sorry) and that I think I should not be charged for proof #5, as the messed-up proof #4 was their fault and not mine. Yes, it only amounts to $6.88, but it's still their fault and not my fault.
I hadn't heard from them today, so I sent another e-mail asking if I should just expect it to be dealt with next week, and I got this reply, with at least some constructive directions in it:

Merry Christmas. May the new year bless you with no technical problems whatsoever in all of your endeavors.
Thank you, Michael. That was kind of you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you need a nice cuppa and some elves to help you grade papers!!
ReplyDeleteI only made it outside long enough to deliver Christmas oranges to the neighbors, but I did get 33 tests graded (they take about 15 minutes a piece), which is one whole class.
ReplyDeleteCreate Space e-mailed back and said they're working on my problem. Sigh.
At least the migraine got zapped before it got really bad.
100 PAGES! Yikes.
ReplyDeleteYeah. And they haven't figured it out yet -- or at least they haven't contacted me about it yet.
