Today was a bad day at work here at CBS46. It's only 7:37PM as I am writing this.
My old supervisor was telling me that I was the first editor there and that nobody was here at 1PM to get us going for the day. Thankfully we had some help in getting some things going. I would have to assign the show for the 4PM, 5PM, and 6PM newscasts. I wanted someone higher up than me to let producers know that nobody was here editing for the newscasts until I got here. I didn't want panic to set in, but I wanted a sense of awareness to people that we were a bit behind today.
I got yelled at a lot today. I had people rushing me to either put in video that we didn't have or have me assign someone else a video that was supposed to feed in. I felt pressured in a way that I didn't need to be. I'm perfectly capable of doing my job as the "lead editor" for the afternoon. I also serve as the "coordinator" Monday through Friday.
I was hpoing to meet with someone higher up than me to get my career going next week. Again, no dice. I don't know if there's any interest in me as a potential photographer here at the station. It's just as well. I want to work with pepole who are interested in working with me. CBS46 can get anyone that they want as a photographer as long as they have previous job experience.
I must summon the strength to get some producer training so that this day is not a complete loss. I did and I saw the executive producer clean up scripts and make them accurate so that my fellow editor and I can edit and put videos on the air on time.
I still need to practice writing soon. I'll definitely work on that this Sunday when I fill in for some overtime.
Peach out everyone. Sorry, I meant Peace out everyone.
