Well today was like day 3 of my SIP. I'm slowly getting into the groove of things. Generally most of the people at STTV are quite whacky, and funny to be around. Generally easy going bunch. That didn't stop me and John from likening SPH to a prison that we willingly revisited daily. We devised a system for it:

On monday, it would be known as Auschwitz, cause it was the beginning of a work week. Tuesday, the Gulag. Wednesday it'd be known as East Germany. Thursday, we still hadn't decided what to call it. Friday was Cuba because it was the last day in the week. It's funny that way. Oh yeah, we work from 2 to 10 from monday to friday for the first 2 weeks at least. Gerry (Geraldine)'s our supervisor for the most part, she's quite enthusiastic and bubbly for a person stuck without a social life. She's also the director for the news. She's awfully good. Arnold and Michelle are your quintessential newscasters, they seem kind of unapproachable but they're actually quite friendly. Arnold's from SJI, hail hail. Ah.... Vanessa and Gerard are both Director's assistants. They've more or less been tagging along with each other since Uni. To ESPN, then here. Like each other's shadow, haha. Don and Jennifer are the editors, they're somewhat older but they're still quite energetic and enthusiastic.

Ah well. That's just the gist of it. Basically me and John help out with the production of the news every night at 9.30. We help gather stats, stock info, and collate everything for viewing later. We also help to create the scripts and etc, and hand them out to the newscasters. It's a little hard to describe but as it goes along I'm sure we'll understand it more.

I'll continue this later then, just thought I'd write on what we had to do so you people would have an idea =p
