Well, who'd've expected that?
Monday, June 20, 2005 at 4:50 PM
I went out for leaving drinks + curry with the SGR Colchy peeps on Friday, which was really nice... great to see lots of the SGR Crew again and the curry (at the Alishan in Colchester) was luurrvely.
Amazingly, however, my list of "things I'll probably do" wasn't quite as full of "Yep, did that"'s as I had expected. Based on what I'd anticipated on Friday:- Speak in The GWR Voice
NO - Actually, none of that occured. I KNOW!!!
- Be sarcastic about networking
YES - There was a fair bit of sarcasm regarding me always having a nice chat with the guy on before me (who networks from Essex FM)...
- Rant about networking
NO - Kept my cool on that. Felt the audience *probably* wasn't right
- Take the piss out of networking mistakes
Not Sure - Hmm... might've done one about jingles not going out sometimes...
- Speak again in the GWR Voice
NO - Seriously!!
- Rant about the restrictive playlist
NO - Again, didn't feel like they were the right audience
- Continue to speak in the GWR Voice
NO - etc
- Rant about the radio industry being terrible
NO - blah blah audience blah blah!
- Feel like leaving radio is the biggest mistake of my life
NO - I'm not right for radio. I just don't have the high confidence or understanding / care for the commercial requirements of it. I just want to do radio I like and enjoy. Which, frankly, just doesn't work in a commercial environment unless you're stunningly good, which I know I'm not. Who knows, I might've been one day, but meh... I really can't be bothered to throw away a good career in IT to risk it.
So... on the Nerdy GWR Bashing Scale, out of 9 (well, really 7 ;-) ) I only scored 1.5.
Hooray! I'm getting better ;-) *
(* N.B. This is a lie. If I was surrounded by RaW people I'd've scored at least 8. *clears throat* <GWRVoice>It's the Nerdy GWR Bashing Scale, with Betterview Windows and Conservatories - Brighten Your Day the Betterview Way</GWRVoice>)
Somebody help me :-)
