So I was hoping to at least get some work on my cover letter or the synopsis to the script I’m submitting to Sundance. I try to get a little bit done at work when I can. So what happens the second I step in? ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!!
First, it turns out that we have two people out today and a third leaving early. So that means more work piled on the schedule. Plus it’s Friday which is always more work for us in cpationing. I have to air a proram for tape at 2 pm. The captions are so garbled I had to redo them myself at 3pm. Meanwhile I’m prepping a file to be punched later today at 5pm– we don’t have a stenographer for this show so we have to do it by the file. Of course we’re waiting for a script file from the client that by 4:50 still isn’t ready yet. We scramble to get a steno lined up to do the missing part of ths show. She has a hell of a time hearing the show (ironic when we’re captioning for the deaf) but does a decent job. Get done at 5:30 wih that, and find out that the final script was sent to us at 4:59 pm–way to go guys, right on time! Of course it turns out that the client had a problem on there end and we have to redo the show at 8:30. But that means getting an audio put over speakerphone just so we can get the damn show. We can’t get audio until 8:35 at which point I find out it’s a live to tape satalite feed which means they can’t rewind the show. We go with what we can caption and jsut go with God. I stay an hour after my shif to make sure we have manpower and nothing goes wrong come 11 pm.
End result: nothing got done on my end and things ahd to get done twice for work! On top of that my elbow is throbbing througout the day and the Yankees lose a 7-6 heartbreaker in the first game of the series with Boston!! Basically this day SUCKED!!!!!
