Journey to the Middle East

Staying in office is such a pain in the ass. I feel sorry for it. 

Although we encountered rainy days quite couple of times.

But the spirit held within us is strong enough to continue our journey.

STUD 给人 Shoot 回?

After Primeworks took over, it seems to be a lot of changes in our working environment and production management. 

Due to the reason that we do not fully utilize our editing machine, producers have to come out with a proper time-slot booking system for editing suite to be used by anyone who works in Primeworks (formerly all the machine were used only by 8tv staff),which I think is acceptable and reasonable for TV station to operate like this.

Yesterday, Producers were to be having meeting with all the editors and discuss the issues of the subject matter above. What really disappoint me was the meeting before the confidential among producers meeting was, someone backstab me for what I said:

" Being late for sending tape? So...?"

Here's the deal, when editors are about to follow the production schedules, which were carefully planned by each producer for each programme. Things will always be on time if there were no interruption. In my case, my group already have a proper planning for production schedule which Im really happy with it moreover we still in control in terms of time constrain. But things do change when it comes lack of man power and some of my team members were being assign to another programme before the show we currently working on still haven't come to an end. In the end, it happens to be just me who do all the work. What really pissed me off is, for crying out loud, one of my team member still haven't start shooting for the upcoming season of the show he assigned for, lepak for 2 weeks in office without doing anything, supposedly he can still do what he meant to do before being assign to another programme. 

Seriously, I have no objection against the time slot booking system for the used of editing machine. But if the above situation happened again. Will the time slot booking system works? Just that the lack of skill for managing people really make me want to say this again with my furrow eyebrow:

"Being late for sending tape again? So...???"

ps/: When in the meeting, most of the producers were looking at me and Cyuan like some sort of criminals who always create problems for them. If we have no problem, that means we have a lot. Thats what I can say... for now....
