A VERY Rough Day
From the moment I woke up, until 10:30pm, 12 hours straight. Client migration. Much chaos, no matter how hard I tried to deal with it all. Many things got done and fixed. Client seems happy. I will never work for him again, because I know he will never change. Naomi is STILL working. Her day […]

Don’t count your chickens…
So I went to see Gloria today who wants me to edit some video for her. The idea was for me to work on it there. We went through it together, and I documented what she needed. Since it was on a DVD, I asked her where the original project files were. She made a […]
