Before I start with anything else I have to tell you one thing:

Computers in real life are boring. Even Apple computers. You sit there all day, use your mouse, hit your keyboard and wait.

Currently I am working on a 3D / CGI image to increase my personal gallery and my frustration level is going growing by the minute because of seemingly small problems I encounter here and there but push the boundaries of time planning beyond infinity.

I really don’t want to know how bad this is when you are a professional working with a tight project plan and a tight budget. It must be nerve wrecking…
