Blog: Long time no Blog HA

Hi, so I have not been on here in a while as to tell the truth I really have not had time. Sorry about that... Just to let you know this blog will be a long one so if you have not got time I would save this and read it later. 

So.... What have I been up to?

Well, I have been at college on Tuesday and Wednesday as usual and this week I think I may have learnt something for once.

We got a new teacher for one our lessons which are customer support, now I’m going to list things about each teacher and you will see why we all like the new one better.

First teacher for the customer support lesson: 23, had no experience in teaching or customer support, and also gets angry to quick

The teacher we have now: 41, had 25 years in customer support, worked for the MOD, and also the biggest customer support organization in the U.K and the U.S. Now this is only for this little section in our huge course, the main guy we have for all of it apart from these 2 horus is a good teacher and seems to know his stuff (I have to be nice as he may be reading this, shhh don’t tell)

Now who do you think is the better one....?

So then Thursday well I went to do my normal work at the radio station and well what I can say, today has been very stressful down the station. 

First of all I had a bad head all day, and then had lots of stuff to do.

I try getting on with stuff then our desk packs up I then try to fix that and then have to edit an interview for someone to pick up.

I then get asked to edit another interview which is fine only takes a few mins... Well that’s where I was wrong, I was just about to start and then another guy came in so our producer had to use the studio which meant I was then sat like a lemon,( Well I thought I was) But no. Then we have problems recording which meant I had to find more Mic’s. Tascam's and leads (Which weren’t where they are normally kept, maybe I did not put them back in the right play who knows...) so I sort all that out and have a little 5 min brake.

I then have to get on the phone to the tech guys for our mixer, that was a challenge I tell the guy the problems and (Just before you read the next step, the guy I spoke to is like the tech opp for this major company who owns one of our desks) And guess what he says.. Well emmm you may want to Emm well check this and that and this, "Yep I did all that" Ok now try looking at the... "Yep" Well if that does not work you will need to send us one of the channel modules.

"Oh ok how much you reckon that would cost”Well I would not be the person to say but I think it would be...... em no I don’t know! "Ahhhhh"

So moving on from the tech problems, as that happens in all radio stations it just seems to happen when I’m there.

So I get home change my cloths then off on a trip can’t tell you where if you read my twitter your know so I'm not going to bother.

Then back home from the trip and thinking oh I’m tired I may get an early night ....

So tomorrow will hopefully be a less stressful day as I will be going down the station about 3.30 need to get some stuff edited what I missed out on today, and then chill out a little bit and then do the show.

Doing the show is probably the best point of being at the radio station as it is something I really enjoy (Not saying the tech side I don’t enjoy) but I do like doing the show as it means we can play some great tunes and just have a chat with friends and chill out. 

After the show I’m back home and at 8.30(ish) I will be in a Skype call with 3 people from the US talking about this project I’m doing next year (Like I said earlier I’m not going to say but just guest...) After that I may chill not sure yet or i may go out (Not sure what)

Anyway that’s it from me this week, once again thank you for reading this really long blog, well not that long but yh shhhh

Cya later, well I wont but i will blog you later lol

 

Bye 

 

Pete
