I might take this corporate job on an internal video team BUT unfortunately they have already established a Premiere workflow. I'd much rather use Resolve but if the salary is good, I might just have to suck it up.
I know the principles of editing and I used FCP before so I'm sure I can transition to Premiere. I'm just wondering how is the transition?

Yesterday I had a small 2hr event photography gig. I put off prepping and packing my gear until the last minute. I was busy trying to multitask for a big shoot the following day and editing shots from a shoot on Monday. Last minute I packed all my stuff and got to venue 10 mins late. As I was setting up my camera I realized I don't have my flash!! Oh shit!! I still had 20 mins until the event started and my house is 1 mile from the venue so I jetted to my car and quickly grabbed my flash. I got back to the venue and parked my car in an illegal space because I had 0 time to search for parking. I got back before the event and my POC asked me "where were you? I was hoping to get some candid pics before the event" I was honest and told her I forgot my flash but I'm here now.
So during the event there was a lunch break. I don't shoot people eating so I thought "I'll move my car really quickly" I left for like 10 mins and she calls me "where are you I'm looking for you" FUCK I can tell she's really pissed. She was looking for me to take some group pics during lunch.
I was able to capture everything needed on the shot list and stayed a bit longer. I also rushed to edit the pics and deliver them within 3 hours of the event ending. I was extremely apologetic and took responsibility for my F' up. I even told her I wouldn't charge her for these pics because of my F' up. I hoped that not charging for the pics that she would at least accept my apology and taking responsibility instead of me coming up with excuses.
Later on last night I noticed she posted on the pics on social media but never even replied or acknowledged me. That kinda stung.
Looking back I was so stupid for calling my own people fobs and making fun of their ways and accents like I am better. Crazy thing was that I was with other Asian Americans doing this like we are superior to them because we were more assimilated to US culture. We didn’t really want to associate with them because we would be seen as recent immigrants.
But in other peoples eyes, we’re all the same. It doesn’t matter if you came to the US last year or born here 30 years ago, to most outsiders they cant tell the difference. Even with 0 accent and growing up immersed in US culture and as knowledgeable in US culture as any white person my age, I am still ALWAYS asked “where are you from?”
I feel terrible because those “fobs” look at us as their own people seeking community and help to make their transition to the US a bit more comfortable. Instead I shunned them in fear of being labeled a fob too.
I says this now as a dad who wants to pass down my culture to my own kids, I am sorry to everyone who I looked down upon and called FOBs.
My 75 year old father has been making my moms life hell in the past 2 years. He used to be a fun loving jokester growing up but now he's an insufferable asshole. In his mind, everyone is doing him wrong: my mom, a lowly cashier, a repairman, landscapers.
I'm pretty positive this is an age related illness or cognitive decline of some sort like early stage alzheimers. He has always had this side of him but that buffer in his brain to "let it go" or "it's not worth it" seems to be gone and the smallest things like someone not saying thank you sets him off AND he holds grudges forever.
But he strongly believes he is fine and refuses to go to a doctor. I hate that he is making my moms life hell and he has 0 reason to be angry and constantly mad/bitter. He is retired and NEVER has to worry about about money, he plays golf every day, my mom does almost everything for him, the hardest decision he has to make is to drive the Lexus or the Mercedes. Yet he still finds something to be mad about.
I've gone non contact with him and have barred him from being involved with my family and kids because I don't want to walk on eggshells in fear he'll blow up around my kids. Which he has done before. I've told him that he cannot come around until he goes to a doctor and therapy to get help.
If I could I'd hogtie him, throw him in the car, and forcefully take him to a neurologist to get checked. Are there any other alternatives?
