My faculty knows better. When I do get a quickie request and let the
person know when I can get it done (over the weekend; end of the week),
they sometimes say, but you're the art teacher, can't you do it faster?
I remind them that yes, I'm a professional, and I need TIME to do a
professional job! Usually it's just certificates or something for which
they want calligraphy; I steer them towards one of the computer graphics
geeks at school.
