Yesterday I left the house to go to work. It had been storming all night and had just stopped, so the ground was soaking wet even though the sun was shining brightly from between the dark grey clouds which were breaking up, revealing a brilliantly blue sky. All this sounding the the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack that my iPod had shuffled up for me. Life was pretty good at that moment, and I'm starting to realize I have little moments like that every day. It's kind of cool.

So we're expanding the number of sites we're doing at work as well as expanding the number of projects we take on (DVD and such) so therefore we needed to hire another person and get me another edit system. The new guy starts in a week and a half, I think he'll do quite well. My new system... well I priced it out and found out for the speed I needed getting an iMac was more cost effective than a PC box, even without the monitors. So my grand master plan was to get the iMac and run windoze on it until such a time that my boss' were willing to spend the money on the new software (cheaper than premiere actually, ha, but still a cost considering we'd just bought a new system...) and that I would have time in switching our workflows over to an entirely different program. Yeah well windoze ran great on the iMac but as is typical of Adobe software (on my regular PC box I'm lucky if I can get through a day without having premiere crash) it was so buggy and used so much out-dated legacy code that it wasn't gonna work on the new hardware even though it was totally windoze compliant. WTF. So my boss and I were back in the Apple Store purchasing my software and I have a week to try and switch workflows while still making sure I'm ahead in my work so I can have time to train the new guy. I mean... I can do all this cause I'm awesome like that, but basically I was trying to be super goddamn clever and it back-fired on me. I've apologised to my boss' but honestly I'm not sure if they're unhappy or simply don't care. As soon as they see the quality of the videos (Quicktime has much better algorithms for things like MPEG, not necessarily .mov) and the speed at which I can create everything on the new system, not to mention how my DVD's are going to look insanely better that the one's we currently contract out, that they'll be fine. I just feel bad that I pitched this plan of gradual switch which ended up not working. Meh
