Maybe it is just the winter "blahs"

In July 2 of my friends got married to each other. I was thrilled I only had to buy one gift. Both of them work in the film industry in LA. Janet has a degree in Graphic Arts from ISU and Adrian has a degree in Digital Media. Adrian is from Britain so he calls it IT which makes sense to me also.
Since I had already registered for this class and was very interested in what I might find open in the job market after my studies are complete, I decided to quiz them.. It was not as inspiring as I had hoped. Janet works as a senior accounts exec for a firm that distributes TV programs overseas. She spends most of her time calling or emailing customers and checking the status of the programs she handles. Adrian works for Universal Studios, now that was hopeful. For the past few years he has been working as a film editor. Sounding better and better, right. Ok, apparently there are a number of variations in the editing field. He spends 8 hours a day, 5 days a week , 45 weeks a year cleaning micro dust, debris and repairing film frame by frame by frame so it can be remastered.
Yep, it is bloody awful. Still, I was not completely discouraged.
Well, this week I found a site that pushed me over the edge.
Interactive Media Center - University Library: University at Albany
The artist is only 18 years old. I may never even come close to this level of work. Bah Humbug. It is so cold out that as I am typing my finger are shutting down and refusing to type. Just after a spell check I will post this and go in search of an alcoholic beverage. HAH this is something that 18 year-old kid can't do yet. I am feeling better now.
