the office and the newsroom.

there is an obvious difference between the office and the newsroom, though they're both in the same company. like, duh? ahaha. what a lame introduction. but i'm sure i got your attention, didnt i? with my trying-hard-yet-failing-at-sounding-professional intro. yet i wanna be a journalist? oh no. maybe it isnt my true calling after all. ahaha. okay enough digression. i was just talking crap, by the way. as good or as lousy (i seriously think it's the latter though) i might write, i STILL want to be a journalist.

so anyway.

i was in the newsroom today working with adeline to produce the cnbc mobile clips. hopefully i'll be able to produce my own soon! it's all real fun; working against the clock in a deadline by the minute to finish up a show. so exciting. and yet ade says it isnt the real deal yet. she says it might be possible for me to try out with the live program one of these days, so daymn. i cannot wait. now THAT would be seriously by the seconds. moments, even. so looking forward to it.

by 0200pm, we were more or less done with the clips for today, so i (regretfully) trudged back upstairs to my office on the 31st floor. i love the place there, seriously i do, but there's so much more action going on downstairs. however, i would still be working with ade tomorrow so i'm not feeling too bad. =)

there's such a huge difference between the production side downstairs and the office upstairs. in the newsroom it's all noises here and there, people running in a hurry to get hold of certain info or person, guests arriving for interviews, etc etc. meanwhile, upstairs where there's the distribution (that's me), ad sales and finance departments, things are more laid back. things are usually more fun when andrea, jacq and andrejka are around, coz then at least there's people to talk to.. but today? agh. andrea's on leave. jacq's outstation. andrejka just gave birth. and i had so little work to do. ahahaha.. i so cannot wait for tomorrow again.

so there. today marks my fourth week of working. wow. i'm almost halfway gone with my internship. it's so soon! by the time i finally leave i know i'm so gonna miss the place. i find something more about it to love every day..
