[QUOTE="Nimnim, post: 1342449, member: 28856"] A number of weeks ago my BA made a really unexpected 3 day appearance on my midnight shift, and while he was there I asked him about the physical copy of the contracts and he said it'd probably be around late July or August that they showed up. He said it was currently being worked on and proofread, which I can understand you want to get that right. He did agree with me that aside from the supplements the master was done many months ago so at least the NMA should have been ready for printing by now. My BA did let me know about something I wasn't aware of though, which is they have to estimate how many copies they need until the next contract because they only do one run of the printing. Getting that proper estimate may delay some areas a little. At least the time it takes for someone who can make the call to feel confident about it. Also I worked in a print shop for about 6 months after HS. Something that seems simple can take a considerable amount of time. It took myself and 2 coworkers 3 8 hour days days to properly collate and bind with glue, much like the contract books I get from the union, a few thousand planners for a local high school. Imagine a few hundred thousand, even with a bunch more people. [/QUOTE]
