Yesterday's entry characterized a 'typical' Monday in the eyes of most.
Never did I imagine today, Tuesday, would be a bigger challenge?!?! WOW!
Though the bigger challenge, not as stressful. I'll take it!
When I walked in, it 'seemed' as if the entire day side photography staff had called off sick. Ok, maybe not all of them, but honestly, most!
Our Room 1 Operator informed me 'he was it' so be kind. We'll help him out anyway we can.
It's days like these where you realize your limitations, streamline, focus on the epitome of efficiency and plunge forward.
Even in the midst of yet another crazy day, we were still able to cover a HAZMAT at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, which could have been a doozy!
Fortunately, as an assignment editor, you are connected to PR people and official-types. When we learned of the dangerous chemical found in the zoo animal hospital, it was a matter of moments before we had details as I called my zoo buddies and got the skinny.
They followed procedure and the entire operation ran smoothly.
Even when the CEI transformer blew up shortly before 9:00 p.m., we were armed and ready because we had enacted an efficient plan all day long and had crews to head out there, cover the breaking news and have it back in time for the top of our newscast.
Yes, just as crazy, if not crazier but definitely not as tense or stressful.
I love this place!!!!
