To the Boss: Yesterday after receiving emails from “Mom”, I’ve encountered annoying problems while trying to process her request. She didn’t need to ask my permission, which didn’t sit well with my open-minded/high expectation. I wasn’t used to the “tone”. It was quite an unusual exchange of emails that late afternoon/early evening. I am open to singing and/or playing, which ever way is easiest for everyone. (I learned that from you. Hehehe!)
Anyway, the main difficulty was emailing the flutist copies of the music pieces, which really is for guitar and keyboard. I didn’t know how to operate my damn Canon fax/printer/scanner via my personal computer. I kept deleting these imported images because the DPI was too low at 300 and had to be reset to 600 DPI, one was legal-sized instead of letter-sized, and several others were in color instead of black and white (to save space for file size).
Then I didn’t know how to operate my paid “Total Image Watermark” application (which I never really put to good use) and deleted many more images as I redid everything. I finally tweaked the software program to imprint the “disclaimer” on the bottom/center of each scanned music pieces. I only wanted to share with everyone to keep the music operations at our local parish running smoothly and at the same time avoid any “copyright infringement” even though I did pay out-of-pocket for my own copies! Plus it’s mine to add my collection of music for personal enjoyment.
So what have I learned? Keep the faith, ears/eyes/heart open to honesty. I’m just helping y’all for now while I’m finishing up my break. I could sense from today’s mainstream media on cable news programming that jobs will pick-up because I’m ready to “reintegrate” into the slave/work force to earn whatever little dough is necessary to “survive” on this hellish planet.
