incompetence

I just have to whine.

This photographer that my company hired for an event some time back. Came from an iron rice bowl background, only that the iron turned out not so very sturdy after all.
So he's out in the marketplace, but he's crusty and full of "I'm-experienced-and-don't-you-little-girl-come-tell-me-what-to-do" attitude.

So here I'm trying to be respectful of his experience and his years but still I have to make sure he gets what the job entails.
Everything I say, he'll go "Ok, no problem, sure can do".

Only......right now, about 6 months after he's gone, I'm still trying to clear the messy detritus of his work so I can actually make something out of it.

Moral of the story??
Never get so in the rut that you cannot get out of it.
Adaptation is the key word of the future.

Back to the rubble I go.
