Prosh's one weakness

Thursday, 14 December 2006, 19:53

I expect normal, mature people don't start their workday mentally screaming "All right you stairy bastards, let's see if you've got any less stairlike overnight!" and attacking them with all their (zero; zzzz...) energy before getting horribly out of breath before the flight to the fifth floor is conquered at a painful plod.

But I don't see what else I could do.

Oddly, since receiving and gamely following doctor's orders in that regard, I've been up and down them relatively often - thanks to random meetings and fetching a card from the nearby bookshop and things like that. (It won't work, Discordia, so bugger off.)

(I'm also trying to cultivate the habit of standing/sitting up straight. My shoulders hunch like anything, which - I realised when I caught sight of them in an angled mirror the other day - really really makes me look like my grandma. Hate. The only thing I'm interested in inheriting from my female blood relations is an affiliation for words.)

I fell asleep many times during someone's "really important111″ presentation today. *blush* But it was ok; I got the gist, though missed the details of work I probably won't ever get to do anyway (filming with P2 cameras - it's basically about the crossover from digibeta tape to digital, which I can't believe has taken the industry so long anyway).

I'd rather like to get to play with audio editing some day. It's always interested me, but just in a "hey, neat" sort of way. I know my ears aren't sensitive enough, my autistic noise twitch is too bad and I have bad trouble editing anything out of anything and throwing it away, and also that 99% of all radio is boring (or 96% if it's music radio) so any audio manipulation would probably involve some interview with some boring local famous person or a lame vox pop about something the public's very uninformed on, which would get my stupidly idealistic ridgeback right up because I have some serious issues with how the journalistic industry 'reports' most of its news. Regardless, I'm vaguely considering applying for some kind of work shadowing experience-type scheme. (But I'm too shy, so don't expect anything to come of that.)

Spent a large part of today editing old transcripts ready for a 'new' revamped feature. Repetitive! Chocka with bad punctuation that needed fixing! Fun! (I am so, so wrong.)
