Day Two

     Today was Day Two and it wasn't as bad as last time. Although there was video problems (again), and script problems (again)... I was able to get a "good show" out of the director. So I consider that a pretty good show. Throughout the day I was a lot more stern and panicky about getting things done on time. The atmosphere was a lot different from my more lenient style last Monday. Though I would prefer to have a relaxed workplace, I wasn't able to allow it because things weren't being done and a timely manner. Plus, I was getting even more frustrated because it seemed like no one else was trying to get done fast enough. Sure the APs were working wonderfully, and the reporters were trying their best but with my continuous love, hate relationship with technical difficulties I'd prefer to have the show close to perfect so that we can catch errors when they arise. One again my only obstacle, besides the lost package and converter problems, was my sports producer. Communication, communication, communication. I am getting tired of being dazed and confused whenever people ask me about the sports block. I should be able to know whats going on just as much as him. And the constant minute to minute directing that happens is starting to get to me. It was always, "chill out" or "I got this... is gonna be fine." However, 5 VOSOTs turn into 3 VOs and a reader. Video goes missing, scripts are improvised and I totally unaware of it all... till it's happening. Hopefully things can be settled before next Monday because as of right now, I can't see the silver lining.
