sleep, thou art longingly sought..
tired.
this week, the first week of june, marks the beginning my foray into the working world. not that i've never worked before, i have for years, but this is my official first job.. and it tires the heck out of me.
officially, i'm a freelance editor for ascent media. in realspeak, i do archiving and compiling of clips to send for broadcast. they have all this newfangled systems where the channel goes tapeless, but we still create backup tapes anyway. how efficient. archiving is tedious but i've been doing more of the transferring of clips for broadcast.
Ben and Lin are my new best friends. Ben is the name of the server that we use to archive; Lin is the server used for transferring to Ascent in Loyang for broadcast. Lin is moody and given to hissy fits of uncooperating; Ben is milder but that may just be cos I have yet to see much of him. O god, listen to me, harping on servers - servers, for god's sake - as if they're my colleagues or bosses. in a way.. there's only 3 of us working on night shift, and we're pretty much left on our own to work. im fine with that except by 2 or 3 am i'll be talking aloud to Lin, cursing or praising her as she works with / against me. if that's not sad, i dunno what it is.
this job's gonna play hell with my social life too, cos i gotta sleep half the day and go off to work the night when my friends are finally free to meet.. sigh. well, money talks.. and it's damn persuasive too. but wtf, my cab fares a day come up to 17 max! when im late n i take cab to work n book a cab to go home plus midnite charge.. and it's not claimable! argh at this rate i'll be begging in e streets b4 i get my first pay. sob.
o yeah, i forgot, i also did my first real (read: paid) shoot for a promo on Images of Singapore, the wax museum in Sentosa.. it was cool but boring, fun but tiring. i'll write an update on it when i have time, which doesn't look to be very soon. ok, at least i'll post some pictures..
ok, im off to work in two hours, shall have dinner and im SO tempted to take another nap. i slept from 430 to 930 when i got back, and again for an hour or so after noon.. now im waiting for lunch. the expresso machine is also getting to know me quite well, i've been asking him for at least two cups a night..
ok this post is getting as mundane as i feel, so time to cut it shor-
i miss k.
