It's harder than it looks!

Yesterday, I decided to start making my first attempt at a music video. It's a Queer as Folk Brian ansgt kinda thing set to "Sympathy" by The Goo Goo Dolls. The song is right around 3 minutes. After about 6 hours of work, I'm about 2/3 of the way through. Dang, man! I suppose it's taking me so long cos I didn't have it completely set out what I wanted so I had to look through all the clips I had for a few parts. Plus, some of the clips, the program didn't like so it crashed on me a couple times. The first time, I hadn't saved it yet. Luckily, I was just at the very beginning. But still, that kinda sucked. I probably won't be able to get back to it until Wednesday since I have Nutcracker and ballet tonight and tomorrow. I might be able to squeeze in a little before I have to go tonight, but we'll see.

Oh! Get this - I knew something a computer programmer didn't know!! I started working with this girl on the error reports to let her know what they're like now, what I would like to see, etc. I was showing her this one report that I had exported to Excel. The one billing program that some of our clients used just switched over the being an internet based program. But they are slowly moving clients over a chunk at a time instead of in one large chunk. So, the one thing this report doesn't tell me, that I would like it to, is which version the particular invoice would be in. Are you following me? So, each system actually has its own report, but I combine them so I'm just working one report and I then lose what system I got the report out of. Which I didn't realize the last time and had to waste a large part of my day going back to look each of these up again. Today, when I ran the report with her, I inserted a column where I could input the billing program version. I put it in the top line and then did Ctrl+D (fill down) to fill in the rest of the sheet. She didn't know about! I was really surprised and kind of proud of myself. Hehe. :-)

OK. That's my ramble. Later!!
