Set A Course For Failure, Full Steam Ahead[views:2912][posts:9]________________________________ [Jun 20,2008 1:49pm - xmikex ""] So I convinced my office to let us upgrade all our post production software. Cool. They shelled out for the Adobe Creative Suite CS3 package. Sweet. I was excited about it so I sent out an e-mail telling the people I work with about the upgrade, and all the new things we could accomplish with it. Not the best move. Remember that guy I always complain about? Well now he wants me to "sit down" with him and "peek over his shoulder" for "just a few minutes" while he "re-learns the technology." This is a blowhard way of saying he'd like me to bare witness to him trying to catch up on 2 decades of post production technology in a display of pure concentrated failure. Like 6 months ago he asked me to "remind him" how to capture video using Premiere Pro. He used Final Cut Pro (I can only imagine what version) for a couple classes in college which, given the fact that he's learned absolutely nothing since, might as well have been a million years ago. So reminding him turned into teaching him which turned into me leaving him alone for a half hour while he somehow deleted someone else's actually important project... which in turn turned into me taking time out of my work to do it for him. Set sail, for fail. |
