morning news: headlines of you forever
TECH GEEK
yesterday's technological skills:
i helped someone deal with a 12-channel soundboard, fixed an audio glitch in two computers, hooked up a canon XL1 for low lighting and used my t.v. as a field monitor.
today's technological skills:
i can't get my computer anywhere near jane-friendly after the death of my hard drive last weekend, can't seem to find any photos that are saved in here somewhere, and can't for the *life* of me get this blog situation formatted the way i want it.
sighhh. my friend trevor just had to endure a personality test for one of the jobs he's applying for, and he got to keep the 2 page computer print out. "TREVOR," it would start almost every line, "you have excellent interpersonal skills..."
some days i wish a computer would print out the things that are wrong with my head. "JANE... you have NO idea how to format a web page, and 12 year old boys everywhere mock you."
MORNING RUSE
i think everyone should wake up to a tiny newspaper on their front porch that would just print the weirdest, most random or most dramatic things they'd say later that day (out of context, of course). over coffee and toast, you could flip through your tiny paper to discover that you'd soon be uttering the phrases "you have barbie breath!", "does your clutch chirp, too?" and "no, i will NOT marry you, but thank you for asking." just think how fun that would be! all day, confusion... then your co-worker drops to one knee to prove a weird point, and bingo, it all makes sense.
sighhh. i'm going back to my book-- a technology that i can handle.
