I'm a Photo Artist and a Computer Tech -- on the Same Day!

Yesterday, when I got to work, my boss said the first project for me was networking the new PC he got for rendering with the current video editing PC (they were going to have a separate connection by cable for faster speed).

This comes after last week when the Photoshop computer crashed, and I took it apart to get the operating system hard drive out, opened up the backup computer, hooked up the drive as the secondary drive, and was able to retrieve all the data! Then after swapping all the drives back and reloading the computer that crashed, I had to re-network it with all the other PCs.

So, yesterday I laughed, "Good thing the Network IT Specialist came in today!"

This poor computer is not even the one who crashed, but the one who provided life support to the other's hard drives!

I used to always go back & forth trying to decide if I was artsy like graphics and pictures or if I was technical, more into coding. I wrote several blogs about it over the years. I have knowledge on both ends, but which was calling at me more?

Well, a few years ago, I realized I can be both, because that's who I am! And that is actually a good thing in the right situation.

Yesterday, I started my morning as a Network IT Specialist. After that I did two photo restorations, as well as printed pictures in the photo lab. I also calculated the dimensions for a custom mat I will cut today. Seems to me the Technical Vs. Artistic Skills both come in handy! :-)

Derailing Vs. Getting on Board with Theories of Tiffany Valiante's Death

This post is about "Mystery at Mile Marker 45," the first episode in season 3 of Netflix's Unsolved Mysteries, which tells the story of Tiffany Valiante, a recent high school graduate with a promising future, who was suspiciously struck by a train after disappearing from outside her New Jersey home in July 2015. It is assumed one has already viewed the episode before reading my thoughts and opinions on this case. SPOILERS will be given! Fact or Fiction? I have seen several people discussing supposed facts that were left out of the episode, alleging Tiffany had stolen from her parent's bank account in the past, that CPS visited regarding abuse by her mother in the months prior to her death, and supposedly an axe recovered as evidence near the scene was lost by investigators before testing. Although I did find her autopsy report with the little bit of searching I did, I only saw this rumored information on gossip websites or other people talking on threads how they ...

Whoever is trying to bring you down is below you; you are above whomever is trying to bring you down

Not sure which version of this quote I like better, but I do believe it's a valid statement. If someone is trying to bring you down; whether it's by spreading false rumors about you behind your back, publicly attacking something of yours, or even just giving you constant criticism to your face; I think most people would agree then they are clearly below you in their moral standards and personal ethics, not to mention their levels of integrity and kindness! And, if someone is more focused on bringing you down instead of on their own work or personal goals, it probably does indicate you are above them — or at least, that they believe you are somehow ahead of them and thus, view you as competition to eliminate. Whichever way you look at it, it's unfortunate there are people like that. Too many people turn things that shouldn't be into a competition when it would serve us all better to help and support one another instead — or at least to just conc...

"It's Good to Know Who Hates You, and It's Good to be Hated by the Right people"

I had to think about the second part of this one a bit, but I do concur. \ Haters tend to hate people they feel intimated or threatened by, in competition with, or envious of. Usually, there is no real reason for their hatred, other than those people are different than them; whether in looks, personality, interests, or any other qualities. In acknowledging that, if people are hating on someone who tries to be kind and respectful to all, somebody truly altruistic in their helping of others, it is fairly safe to conclude the haters lack some — or all — of those genuine qualities in themselves. Therefore, the good person is being hated by the "right" people in that they are hated simply because they are not hateful like the haters, nor would they ever want to be filled with hatred like them in exchange for their not being hated! This not only reveals the haters for whom they really are, but also confirms the good person the "hatee" is. Thus, in this case, it is ac...
