Today marks yet another tough day for me raising the boys alone during the day and hustling off to work at night. I don't know how I keep doing it. It's killing me.
Today I had a pretty somethings day at work until I ran into some trouble. I didn't get any advance phone call that Reality Checl was ready (for me) to edit. I had to make a phone call to make sure that it was ready for me to do. Once I got the go ahead to edit, I printed the edit instructions to do the job. I got generic/incorrect instructions to work with. An hour Ben Swann had a massive stumble that I could not fix in time to make slot. I reluctantly had to call my executive producer for help. She was more stressed than I was. I didn't want to let the show down, but I was not going to guess and put out an incorrect product. Those are the kind of days that make me doubt my ability to do my job as an edit lead.
I'm exhausted after a full afternoon of editing. I need a breather after 6:30PM. Hopefully, the time I'm supposed to spend deleting media will allow me to catch up on some other things and interests in my life. Funny, but I don't choose to catch up on sleep in the rare pieces of downtime. Later tonight, I will watch game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Oklahoma City Thunder. I really hope for a Thunder victory.
