Working in my job, I sometimes feel like I am the only one timewarped from a scene of Napoleon Dynamite.  Meaning, “I love technology” should be my theme song, but as in the movie, it is so far from reality of what technology acutally looks like.  They were dial up, we are WiFi.  Everyone in that movie was straight out of 1989…all out of date…all behind in the times.  So what does this have to do with my job?  Follow me.  My career has dropped me smack dab in the middle of figuring everything out from scratch.  From TV Production, to IMAG, to DMX Lighting, to HDs & VDAs & CCUs & LCDs & HIJKLMNOPs….I have been time warped from Napoleon’s Idaho High School’s Tech Department into a 2008 Space Saga.  How did I get here? A PR & Drama degree does not translate into Film School.  I was the actor on stage and now I am trying to figure out what goes on behind the scenes.  I suppose I am slowly becoming a techie and it’s a little weird.  I think it’s time to go back to school:) Now I just have to find the time to do it…  Thank God I am a manager and not the executor of all that happens on a Sunday Experience.  Otherwise, Genesis would look like Napoleon’s prom.  We are launching a satellite church…and I am trying to play catch up.  Oh help me God….and Skip.
