Due to popular demand, I am back... No, this is not an illusion, it is indeed 2 am, and I am indeed at work, and I must teach in 6 hours, and I haven't slept since 7 am... and things are cool. Actually, I am not doing that bad... I am working and so I am happy, and so far... tfu hamsa... the computer has not fucked me over ... tfu tfu tfu... I am the worst fucking computer tech in the world... really, it is like no matter how much I read about compression and making video files small and put them on the computer, it doesn't work for me ever... I don't understand how it is done... I don't... Why is it that I am finding it very difficult to compress a little 4 minute trailer... and I download all my shows and they way nothing at all... It is a problem for me... it is obstructing my shit... Wouldn't it be funny if we could download shoes too... That would be pretty great I think.
That brings me to another subject, why is it that only I have a correct grasp of how long it takes to do things? I mean, I knew that editing 2 trailers, digitized in HDV (bad slow yet pretty format) going over all the 7 hours of material, and then all the around shit there is to do will take 2 shifts... my boss I guess was optimistic... he thought we would be done by 3:15pm... I started at 9am... so... anywho... yeah whatever... you know... I am an editor... not a computer tech, and the reason I am still here now and have not left 2 hours ago is because of this shit... It is great working in this place, but also difficult, because there is nobody to tunr to at 2.3am... if something goes wrong... so... once again, I must face the obvious... and that is... I am an idiot...
OK... so I guess I am a bit tired... so... I will go to sleep.
Word... and wish me luck!!!

Oho, honey!
I wish I was there. I was pretty sweat with the tech stuff. And you were always so brilliant with the music you brought. :)
You are brilliant anyhow and you'll make it happen. If not, a good kick in the screen face may not make it work, but for sure makes you feel in control again.
Love you lots,
Adi.
i always find swearing useful. for example yesterday that for some odd reason my canopus crashed down and i really really needed it, i remained calm for a long while, i uninstalled and installed, i did many many smart things and still "an unknown error has ocurred" kept popping up. and it was then, at midnight, desperate, that i started yelling all the cuss words i know in every different language. that took a while and then, in an act of rage i tried again, one last time i promised myself, before i went to bed and voila. no error message. in its stead was a smoothely running ass of a program. so yes, i do think these buggers are sensitive to whining :) so i say whine on, whine it all out.
