Oh Dear. Dear Oh Dear Oh Dear.... Ooohhh My...

Well, helping out with 2nd service at church was... eventful. Very much so.

 

I help out at 2nd service while I participate in the 1st one. My uncle does the flip, helping in the 1st and participating in the 2nd. Anyways, I run the computer, DVD player and projector, while my cousin (Ike vs Meta Knight) does the sound board and CDs, cassettes, etc. Well, after sunday school, I walk up into the soundbooth and hear this:

 

"Tim, we need this powerpoint *hands CD* to play in about 5 minutes with this music *hands another CD without label* going on behind it, and some point soon someone else wants these pictures *hands another CD* to rotate on the projector."

 

That's about the worst thing you can hear, moreso when there are 4 people already in our tiny sound booth, 3 of which know nothing but think they do. So as I'm fumbling around with 3 disks, one of which is unmarked and one is incorrectly labeled, trying to copy files and combine this and that, load this and that and open all kinds of stuff, the incompetents are telling me "No no no, it ONLY works in Powerpoint!" "Yeah, we tried and it didn't play worth anything" "Hit the little minus, line, slash, button, thing and make it smaller" "Hey! Pastor K wants you to play the Mission Trip one!"

 

While they are saying that, I'm doing what I know is right, uploading the Powerpoint Presentation into EasyWorship, hitting the Go Live, Live and Un-black button while clicking the slides to commence and hitting the songs in WinAmp to begin playing a nice background theme.

 

Yeah, I got it all worked out, got every single picture up and all the songs played. What a job though. :wacko:

So much work, confusion...I would have given up by then. But then, I wouldn't do all the rabbit stuff and camping and outdoorsy-things you do, either. Good job :)

The job is very... exciting, you could say. Tons of people act like they know what they're doing, and they darn do think they do, but really, they don't. -,-

 

And musicians. They're the worst. Since they can play the music, of course they know how to operate a sound board! Reality check occurs when the drummer walks up there and slams the Mains slider to the top, which makes the entire system scream.
