Okay, I have a confession. My Name is Trish and I rarely do any research.
I don't comparison shop.
I don't read instructions or directions...
I don't know why I don't, but I don't. I never have. If I have an idea, I run with it - full speed, arms wailing, screaming "watch out, here I come!"... I've been this way for as long as I can remember.
Take for instance my last car purchase. I saw it online, went into the dealership, and was prepared to pay full price for it. t never dawned on me, not even once to maybe take the car for a spin, or negotiate the price. Thank goodness my husband was there to provide some kind of reason. When I bought my camera, I walked into Bestbuy and paid the ticketed price for the camera..I knew nothing about it, just knew I had to have it - no, I have yet to read the 20$ guidebook I purchased which was supposed to tell me how to use it.
Just the other day while cleaning up, I stumbled upon the operation manual for the Wii. I thumbed through the pages, and found out that the Wii could take a SD card and act as a picture viewer as well as a media player for music.... I felt kinda dumb not knowing this very simple bit of information about a system that I've owned for almost 2 years.
So, today while looking for a Photoshop class/workshop, instead of jumping on the first program that was local, I decided to do a lil research. I must admit that doing research is a tad bit boring. It's tedious, and very time consuming. There were many times that I felt like unplugging the computer altogether and taking a walk to get a candy apple. But, I persevered. I held on to my sanity, and I found a workshop that was 1) closer, 2) more affordable, and 3) worked with my schedule. I guess it kinda paid off.
