I can be nice

WHen I'm not being cranky or mean. It's not often but I can.

The other day I was talking to security in our photo building and this family came in to check out the school. The father didn't have a quarter and told his wife and daughter to go on without him that he'd wait by the car. I told him that they'd give him a ticket if he didn't feed the meter even though he was waiting there so I offered him a quarter. He looked surprised but eventually he took it. He tried to give me 25 cents in other currency but I refused. It's only a quarter ya know? It made me feel good.

THen as the day went, occasionally I actually would let people in front of me in traffic. They are doing a lot of construction around here so traffic is horrendous on the roads downtown. So people have to sit and wait forever for someone to let them in traffic so I happily let some through. I don't know why, not that I'm totally mean, because you know I would like people to do the same for me. That's not why I did it, but it just felt right to do it. Again I was feelin pretty good.

After my photo partner and I cleaned up our area int he studio, I was on the way out and another student had a lot of equipment out. He did not have a partner, so I asked if he needed any help. He said no, that he was almost finished. So I offered to help him break everything down, because it is a bitch doing it by yourself if you have a lot of shit. He said if I wanted to wait, which would only be a couple of minutes because he was shooting one roll then he'd be ready to break down. So I helped him break down, which saved him some time it would have probably taken him close to an hour. SO I felt pretty good about it. He's actually a pretty damn good photographer. Although I did find out a lot of his stuff is highly Photoshopped.

So it felt good to help out. It seems I make it sound like I never do, or that I'm so mean. But I'm not really. And I'm not looking for anything in return.

On another note, I'm having damn issues burning CDs. I had burned a few last week, of photos for class. And now it doesn't seem to be working and I tried two different types of CDs. I hope this doesn't mean it's broken. I can read other CDs with data on them, but now I can't seem to burn anything without getting a damn error message. It's highly annoying. I'm trying to change the write speed but somehow I cannot find it on this RecordNow program. I thought it had an option to change it.
