Why you always mockup your t-shirt design before printing

by //

So a couple months back I started working on a t-shirt design for my brother’s adoption. Some of you guys even voted on some different design ideas.

We thought we had our design finalized, so I took a moment to mock it up on the actual t-shirt catalog image.

Always a good idea.

In this case it saved us from catastrophe…

Uh-Oh

So, morale of the story – always mockup your design on an actual shirt before you send it to the screen printer 🙂

Back to the drawing board.

Um, I don’t think so Hertz

I was sitting in the airport last Friday, waiting on a much-delayed plane to Michigan, when Mark texted me something about the “most expensive 1/2 tank of gas ever.”

He followed it a moment later with a pic of the a letter that had come from Hertz regarding my rental in Colorado two weeks ago.

Um, yeah, I don’t think so.

Granted, the gas station was a little farther from the airport than I would have liked. It’s always a constant guessing game of whether or not their is a gas station right by the airport. But 9.73 gallons? Not on your life.

Can you say “JOYRIDE?”

Or perhaps a reservation mix-up the customer service rep replied when I promptly called to inform him that I had filled up the tank 17.9 miles from the airport (yes, I Google mapped the distance).

Thankfully, I can send a copy of the receipt and get the matter cleared up – hopefully quickly.

But thank you for the heart attack Hertz – both mine and hubbies.

Plus, can I just say that it’s ridiculous to charge people $10 a gallon for gas. That should be illegal.
