Oh No Not Again!!!

Last night was my book group meeting to discuss My Name is Red. But I shall tell you about that another time. I had to rush away at the end of the meeting to attend an emergency get together with some TU colleagues. We needed too discuss a presentation that is needed for a fringe meeting at the PCS national conference, which is only one week away…

When I arrived it was like walking into a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s OK they said we have nearly finished. In my absence it had been decided that I needed to compile a completely new slide show on our local campaigns to go with the presentations that two of them will be doing at the fringe meeting. They meant one of my slide shows! To make a slide show from scratch takes 5 hours or more, but they seem to think it takes far less time than that.

Now although I do enjoy doing the slide shows I don’t really want to spend all of my leisure time next week on one. The only option seems to be to install the software on my laptop and try to do it at work. The two guys doing the presentation said they would help me choose the photos so that the show matches what they will be talking about. Then all I need to do is compile the photos, captions and music into the show, sounds easy doesn’t it ;-)

Oh and on top of that I was asked did I think I would be able to manage a PowerPoint presentation too?

Aaaaah!!!

If I get it done in time I will share it with you here, the last one I did was to big to put on my blog.

Sounds like a lot of hard work and I can understand your frustration with it all, you know they must think you do a great job to ask, Cant wait to see the finished slide show if you can post it :-)

Well, Cherrypie, being creative is fun. It has nothing to do with work, hasn't it? :)
An inspirating and joyeous weekend, then.

Sean - I guess you are right, being creative is fun :-) Just getting all the files organised onto my laptop first!

Ah, but they did that because they know you are so capable, cherrypie.

CherryPie said...

Thanks Welshcakes :-) I guess they do know I will try to make things happen if humanly possible. Last time I was up till gone midnight finishing off and then I had to get up early the next morning to deliver the finished product!
