So, I shot a wedding on November 3rd and the photos were due to the couple on December 15th. Somewhere between procrastinating, being a perfectionist and my insane work schedule I ended up being really close to the deadline. I wasn't worried because I know I could hunker down and get it done even though it was 12/14. Well ... 12/14/13 was the day that my monitor died (are you kidding me?!?!?!?!?). I'd gotten an email from the groom earlier that day about meeting on the 15h to get the photo disk from me, I delayed responding because I was just going to go to Wal-mart and get a new monitor and work hard that night. I run to Wally World, get the monitor and some ink so that I can print onto the CD. When I get home, I find that the monitor needs a CD to install. That does not work for me because my CD drive hasn't worked in months; then it hits me, if the CD drive doesn't work, I can't burn the images to a disk to give to the client ... uh oh. I sit there with my lip poked out for about 20 minutes.
So the next day, I call the client and get the ok to Dropbox them their photos (not what I prefer, but they get what belongs to them). Then, I go to a pawn shop and get a monitor (plug and play, no disc) and I have the client their photos by 7pm. Sometimes, things just go wrong, sometimes you make mistakes, the bottom line is to overcome and get the job done.
