Can't believe the week is almost over and it's been a while since I've blogged. I think I have to blame it on Facebook. It can become quite addictive if you're not careful. But I guess if you're just into adding friends or keeping up to date with what your friends are up to and also, sending messages, it's not that bad. Then again, I guess you can do that on Friendster too. Strange that a lot of my Friendster friends have yet to join the Facebook phase and friends who aren't in my Friendster have sorta found me somehow.
So what's been happening since my last blog entry? Well, it's been pretty usual these days - nothing that exciting really:
My parents are here from S'pore and staying at my sister's.
It's been work, work, work pretty much. In fact we had new software installed at Ch 9 and there have been lots of technical glitches that we can't really work to our best as yet. For instance, we have to manually input everything and the speech c-a-p-t-i-o-n-e-r (which includes me when I'm on shift) has to voice almost half the news bulletin in because there's no time really for the c-a-p-t-i-o-n-e-r-s there to finish off the news bulletins. They usually should be able to finish even one news bulletin in time, but these c-a-p-t-i-o-n-e-r-s who have been at Ch 9 since c-a-p-t-i-o-n-i-n-g started over there, had never used the new software before - only a few of us know how to operate it... so they're still learning and it takes time for them to adjust to the new key strokes and additional functions.
The tech guys have been in and out of the office at Ch 9 these days trying to troubleshoot the problems, so hopefully they get it fully working soon.
Been catching up with TV shows. Now everything seems to be back - Prison Break, Smallville, Desperate Housewives, Heroes...
Also trying to catch up on House Season 3... Quite behind watching it. And I wanna download Gilmore Girls to watch too.
The next roster is out and was scheduled by the boss in Sydney. Unfortunately I'm working all weekends but the good thing is that I'm at Ch 9 Richmond almost every day of the week. At the moment though it's not a really good time to be at Ch 9 with all the glitches... but at least we have some kind of a challenge I guess cause at times it can get a bit quiet.
And oh, I have annual leave for 4 days from 1st Nov to 4th Nov. Was thinking of bringing TY to this place just for a little getaway, but it seems fully booked! I didn't realise it was so popular... Oh well... I guess we can always do something else... maybe we can plan to go to Perth and I'll be able to catch up with a few old mates. We'll see.
