Phew! Creating an account is not that easy if you can't remember what you've signed in previously as on Google. But I'm all signed up and completely new to this blogging malarkey so bear with me.
I've just started on January 08 schedule. Sat with Adrian last week to thrash out where we would put all these great shows in. It took us a while but finally managed it. Spent Monday working on the rest of the schedule only to come in on Tuesday and hear Adrian whisper quietly that we needed to make major changes already! Breathing deeply, it's fine. This happens a lot. At least it's not all finished so it's easy to make changes. The thing is..... I'm trying to decipher my own handwriting now with all the new notes on it..... But I'll plough through it.
I've been set a challenge (or deadline - however you like to put it. Challenge sounds less scary than deadline to me) by John, our Channel Manager, who'd like us to release the schedule on time (for only the second time since I started with Sky Arts which was end of January 07). "Let's start off the New Year afresh and aim to release the schedule on time" - I think those were his words. It's now 24th October and I've got..... hmmm, *slightly panicky* 5 days to go. But it'll be fine (says she now. Come next week, I won't be so calm.)
So, considering that last point, should really get back to putting that schedule together.... I'll keep you updated on how I get on with January.... Boy, time really does fly!
