banging my head on the computer. trying to figure out a new program. cad.

i am pretty good at photoshop. can do some quark, indesign. did an illustrator class this week, and it was pretty breezy. mostly i am pissed off that i am working on these building plans at all, but i am at my wits end with my architect. i need to work some things out for myself about what i want. he has no idea what i want. long story.
so, i mostly just have an excuse to learn something. and that is always good. but i am double frustrated trying to figure this all out.
my head hurts.

1. replying to myself.

getting better, but still frustrating. which is the mental state that makes me want to just come on over to du, and hide from my ignorance.
i'm getting it, tho.

2. IMO banging your head against the computer is the only way to learn anything.

Every painfully-won lesson stays with you for life!
I have permanent brain damage from teaching myself Microsoft applications such as Visual Basic for Applications and Visual Studio, but damn am I good!
