Six times “X” how complex
Add, subtract and multiply
Till we’re overcome
This is much too hard for me
I can’t do the sum
Logically I am aware that I’m a smart woman and that if presented with a script I can memorize it with relative ease, but the truth is – I’ve never stood behind a lectern at a time when it actually matters. And the new job? It involves a lot of information.
I’m sure I can remember it all, and yet…pages and pages and pages of talking points for a system I’ve barely any experience with yet. I feel like if I started learning last year I wouldn’t have enough space in my head!
I’m up to my ears in operating system manuals, teacher’s guides, instructional hand outs and powerpoint presentations, and I’m peppering the current tech with questions what feels like every five minutes. I feel like I’m in school again!
But most of what I’m learning to do is at least interesting. I’m learning a lot more about photo manipulation than I realized I was going to for one thing! Which has led to a desire to do a pet project to practice on; but I’ll need to find someone to help me take the basic photos (or I need to get a tripod). And the stuff is more delicate than it looks, I have this feeling that if I don’t practice it, my outgoing projects are not going to look as neat as I’d hoped they would. But I am learning the tricks of how to at least make them look presentable, for example, stitching together a panorama often requires cropping to make it come out right, and fusing together two photos has to be done with images of exactly the same size and angle…
and there’s so many bullet points! and instruction manuals! and user guides!
So much to fit in my head! I worry that there’s not room!
I have no idea where or how you go about finding images for your blog, and usually as with this one they fit the topic perfectly. In most cases they are generic shots or pieces of art, not saying this one isn’t. What is unusual here is that the model is a friend of mine.
wow! Talk about a small word, I just did a google image search (which is how i find most of my images) for “nerd” believe it or not. Do you know who took the image? I always try and give credit where at all possible…there was no copyright or other information on the image, or on the website where it came from, I double checked!
