Day of Frustration

     Today was definitely a day with all type of frustrations. Once again I was limited to just one reporter, which meant a rather short A-block. I wanted to added more graphic OTS's this time around, I guess I just wanted to make the block more interested instead of just having readers and full screen macs. The rest of the day was a pretty uneventful compared to last Monday. When we finally got downstairs, it seemed like I had more questions flying my way more than usual. Questions about video, graphics, scripts, and the rundown... it all gave me an uneasy feeling. Once the show started, everything seemed to go just fine... it wasn't until the B-block. I was trying to drop a story because I saw that I was running long, but I guess that was too late for my professor because he then decided to put the story back, which then gave me reason to try and drop it again. As we were playing ping pong with a story, the promotor was also going back and forth, which of course threw off the anchors. It was such a huge irritation for that to happen because instead of me trying to gain a couple of seconds the back and forth just added more time than I wanted. As a result of that and sports block the show was starting to run heavy, which I had to drop story after story. I thought I had a really good show today but the little things really set me back. Like I said... frustration.
