Funny story. Well, I'm trying to smile anyway, as I work to fix a problem.

I arrive to work this morning and Steve comes out of the mailing room with a query. No big deal, right? So he asks - and here's where the smile comes in - "Does the score for War Of The Worlds begin with jungle drums?" I am not making this up. Who would... unless Steve was in his practical joke mode. So I continue smiling while putting on a shiny new CD that's supposed to begin with a burst of brass and percussion announcing the Martians are coming! The Martians are coming! My smile fades fast when I instead find I'm naked in the jungle. Yep. Really naked. Our pressing plant delivered at the last minute our new 2-CD set for four George Pal film scores... but not in the order we intended. CD 1 is CD 2 and vice versa. Sure, the CDs sound fine but the labels are reversed. Did I hit the roof? Yes. Is the plant fixing the issue asap? Yes. Will we be shipping proper CDs out early next week? Yes, I say... with a smile.

A mere nothing. At least you caught it before they all went out, right? If this is the worst thing that happens to you this week you're still ahead of the crowd.

It was those damn martians! They used their mental talepathy ray guns to befuddle the pressing plant employees' minds.

ACK! ACK!

Like what must have happened to one pressing of Your "Alien" 2 CD-set. But somehow that didn´t bother me much, the music still is great

I think Steve deserves a raise. He just saved you a lot of shipping money because he cares about his work where so many shipping people would have not noticed at all or even if they had would have shipped without asking first.

Sure, they'll just raise the price on each CD by $0.25, and give him the money.

Hey -- Steve could be a checker and proof reader for al the CD's released froim the labels!
