Hello, long time no blog. Quite a bit has changed since the last time I was on here. Been a bit busy, you know, launching a brand new channel, training newbie Sarah on the ins and outs of Tracy's system (let's say it involves a lot of process manuals and filing - we do like everything to be in its place), trying out a new role (yep, they have given me a WHOLE channel to schedule! I am officially the new Sky Arts Scheduler - why thank you, I'm quite chuffed myself) and the ever increasing politics involved with desk moves (fitting ever more members into a small corner is quite a feat in itself).
But hey ho, I'm very glad Sarah J has joined the Sky Arts team as for a little while I was juggling my old role and my new one. Now I can fully concentrate on my channel which is a daunting task. Adrian et al are convinced I'm the right person so I will try not to disappoint. December has been started now and it's going to be a cracker of a Christmas. You are all going to be spoilt rotten with the choice available.
Anyway, just wanted to express the extreme fear I am experiencing at the moment. Apparently, with a new role, comes new responsibilities and opportunities to leave good ole Osterley for a gander in that busy town called London. To the Classic FM Gramophone Awards to be precise. I shall be walking nervously towards The Dorchester tomorrow in my fancy frock, notepad in hand, with the target to speak to at least 2 people at the Awards. You see, I'm not good at networking or going to fancy do's on my own. The lovely Sinead just makes too much darn sense and all my protestations (2 days worth of saying I really can't do this) came to nothing. And so, tomorrow I shall be trying my best to smile sweetly, big up Sky Arts and try not to look or sound like a fool. Please think of me. It all starts at 11.30 and I'll be so nervous.
Best be off now. I must decide what to wear for tomorrow and try not to think too much about what could possibly go wrong. I shall definitely be taking advantage of that champagne that is sure to flow (though not too much mind, I am 'working').
