It's one of those...



Nobody listens to "Turtlette" days!

I spent 10 mins explaining to a photographic colleague what I wanted him to do for me, regarding the scanning of a collage and then burning it to CD...

in 5 seconds, Dad confuses him by telling him what to do... which was all wrong...

and I have to spend 2 minutes telling Dad to be quiet and let me talk...then spend another 8 minutes going over what I required...again.

Dad hates it when I appear more knowledged than him...regarding anything. Then has to do stupid 'power plays' like the one today. But this one left egg on his face. I am the digital artist, not him. I know what I require to get the work done. He has no earthly idea how to scan, retouch or even print. That's his fault. We've had the digital system since 1998. All he's done has been to surf the net and play games on it.

I bit my tongue today. Next time... I might not.

but, but, but (nice butt)...when you are more knowledgeable than him, doesn't it waste a shitload (or two) of energy trying not to appear so?

butt...thanks J...

on days when I try to appear not so knowledgeable...I simply implode. It's not too messy and if done properly can feel quite nice.
