Tim:
Reformatted the PAR drive and started the segments over. I can't explain what
happened but I'll tell you that my tape backup unit is getting a work out.
Thanks again for the quick phone call.
Now for the bizarre luck of mine (remember I had 3 concurrent deadlines):
Deadline #1:
By some unbelievable luck a guy from one of our other offices was on his way to
a conference (where animation #1 was going to be played) and detoured by chance
to our main office on his way. So, this morning at 8:30 am, in the parking lot
I was able to flip him the video tape and he toted it to the show in time.
Deadline #2:
Easy one, just a laptop multimedia presentation. I got it done during backup
tapes and file transfers pertaining to my PAR debacle.
Deadline #3:
One of the principals in my firm was supposed to be on his way out of the
country to a client meeting but it was cancelled yesterday afternoon. This
meant that he would be able to attend yet another meeting (where video tape #2
was to be played) by virtue of still being around. He was able to leave this
afternoon to this second meeting and could take the video tape with him. The
project manager who had me crank this piece out had left yesterday for the
meeting tonight. Besides, I didn't finish until a couple hours ago.
Pretty confusing but let me say that I got real lucky today and I'm buying some
Lotto tickets. I guess you'd have to say I survived the crash, now I get to
catch some Z's.
Thanks again,
Bob
