I can't do it. My combination of Capture One Pro and Photo Mechanic is powerful and neat, but it's too much...work. I've lost data, I've stumbled over the process because it requires too much precision. I've become angry at the whole thing when I didn't feel like thinking so goddamn much. I'm dropping PM for now and just doing it all in C1. This leaves me without a real "catalog", but do I need one? We'll see.

I gave it a couple days, but I've decided I don't like the "Always On" display on my new iPhone. I don't think I'll ever stop glancing at it and thinking something just happened on it. It's off now, and it's an improvement.

I probably shouldn't type this out loud (potential employers please look away), but I don't think I want a job that requires or even involves the use of LLMs in any capacity.
