We've just upgraded our Apple MacBook to an iPad Pro with all the whirly-gigs and doo-hickies. My usual processing suite, Affinity Photo, is more than compatible with the technology but it's been "optimised" for the iPad Pro....so while it has all the same functionality and a few extras, I have no idea where they all are!!!
I find that I'm having to re-learn Affinity Photo, even watching tutorials for a system that I used to know intimately - it has come to light that I have no idea what I'm doing!
I am a confirmed and certifiable nutbar with a penchant for skulls, bones, blood, guts, fire and anything slightly peculiar and mostly bizarre. I also...
Kind of how I feel about my job these days. Teaching kinders should be a no brainer, but the powers that be take sadistic pleasure in effing it up and sucking out every last iota of joy. Oops, I ranted. Sorry, but this is just so relatable. :/
i want to say something clever and empathetic... but i got nothing... may the force be with you and "whatever you do today, do it with the confidence of a 4 year old in a batman shirt" 😁
@byrdlip i don't work in IT but that line is priceless... 😂
Hang in there dude it's only a machine, as an old friend of mine told me they are only nuts bolts and wires with a few buttons, and we have the best computer ever designed in our heads so we can beat them. but I think the one in my head is just got to the abacus stage. computers are witchcraft sent to drive us insane, there's some one in my head but its not me hahahahha

Given a little while, you'll get fully functional on the new system and familiar with all the whirly-gigs. Then you'll start finding that the 'new' system is no longer new, and no longer compatible with the upgrades being released and you'll be convinced to upgrade, and there, the cycle starts again.
@annied Sadly, yes. Standardized testing takes precedence over a teacher's recommendations for her students to such an extent that the students who really need help are being ignored. So frustrating! Of course, then it's 100% the teacher's fault when they fail to reach "benchmark". Oops - I ranted again. Sorry. :/
@graemestevens@juliedduncan I am really thankful I am at the end of my teaching career - I casual teach - choose which classes I take - I choose preschool and Special needs Preschool - and even those are affected. Sadly I would not recommend teaching as a career nowadays :(
It seems to have worked out extremely well in the past !!
Otherwise, my pre-retirement response was, "Sorry, we don't support non-agency hardware. But thanks for report that software bug."
@byrdlip i don't work in IT but that line is priceless... 😂
@swchappell There is that…
@haskar I’ll try…I didn’t spend that money for nothing!
@jclaireyp You and me both….
@denful I am dangerous…Imagine what would happen if I could work technology as well!
@novab I’m working on it…
@newbank It’s a sharp pain in my left temple….
@christinav And shitting bloody bollocks as well!
@jamibann I’m the only one allowed to inflict and partake of evil around here!
@kjarn It had to happen sooner or later…
@koalagardens Indeed, with a capital Y
@joysabin Usually cruel jokes are my favourite kind ;)
@jgpittenger I’m surprised that I have any hair left!
@joemuli Of course I am!!!!
@northy I have the mind of a 4 year old, so why not…
@juliedduncan I’ve been ranting as well…
@byrdlip It’s my own ineptitude that has caused this!
@vignouse Don’t get me wrong - I love Apple, but it can take some time to get used to…
@corinnec I used a slightly stronger word…
@markp That’s the trouble…Apple have moved what I always did…it’s still there but the bastards have hidden it
Young Kyra S is in her second year of teacher training…I have high hopes!
