I really hate Angie. LeeAnne again started asking for money again, saying it would be the last time, she promises. Andy just started his job and his pay check was only for a couple days blah blah blah.. We will get our taxes in two weeks and we will pay you everything back blah blah. They wanted another 580.00, I gave them 400.00, told them that is it and any more emails or requests including Angie doing PayPal money requests would be considered harassment and I would press charges. I think she believed me because I have not heard a peep out of them since last Friday. I was so pissed off. 100:1 I don’t get crap out of them when they get their taxes. I don’t have a clue how they would pay me back anyway.
On to better things. Last Thursday I had my yearly review from Jasmine and holy cow, I thought last years review was good. This one was awesome and it included a 3.7% raise to boot. Most of the time when Jasmine doesn’t talk to me, which is all the time and most days I just look it like this, if needs me she will talk to me otherwise no news is good. During our review conversation she actually reiterated exactly that point which I was thankful for. She really is a good boss. Like she said, “She doesn’t micromanage people because she doesn’t like to be micromanaged” and I like that.
That was two pieces of good news last week. Review and raise, another was a bonus we are getting along with our paycheck next week. 9.3 days of pay which should equate to about 2,000.00. I already spent 999.00 of it on a new camera. This camera is fantastic and highly recommended by ‘The Everyday Dad’ on YouTube. It is a Sony A6400. I’ll post a picture of it next week. Of course I will have to take the picture with my old Cannon Rebel xT. Think about it, that old camera is 12mega pix, doesn’t do video and still has a price tag of 600.00. Pictures aren’t half bad though. The new camera is 24.2mega pix, shoots video and had an array of auto focus tricks not to mention time lapse video. I should get the camera on Friday, and I can’t wait.
I’m thinking of getting a newer DGT chessboard with bluetooth but have not made up my mind yet. May wait on that because I like the board I have and just save a little bit longer and get a Mavic 2 Pro with the Hasslblad camera. Not exactly sure what I’m going to do, may just keep saving until….. don’t know…
Last Friday I flew the Mavic Pro three times at around 20 minutes each flight. I adjusted the maximum flight distance to 8000 feet and was able to do a lot of exploring around the neighborhood. I’ll be using this footage to experiment in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. I saw some drone footage from another on ‘Thursday night live’ where he created a bit of a war zone. I thought that might be fun. I’m going to use the video from my new camera to play with some of the effects we can do in blender as well.
Time to sign off till next week, See ya!
