Reality Needs a Little Tweaking.

So at the start of every show there is a bit of a learning curve—the fastest way to get footage in, logged for story to follow, available for the editors—little things that make the show get done. What has been driving me crazy is the feeling that this show is being run by a lot of people with ideas but not much capability in follow through.

I have been struggling with crazy computer programs, people that don’t like the work being done but not communicating what to fix and a post producer who sleeps on his office floor and is so overwhelmed that he can barely have a conversation with anyone. I mean—I have worked in tough productions but I have never felt so much like quitting in my whole life. Ever.

It’s just amazing that we are all so ragged when we haven’t even aired yet but hopefully we can get our shit together soon. I know that there is more staff—which we ALWAYS needed—a bit more of a schedule for the talent but this needs to be fixed faster.

Because I’m already having work dreams and that doesn’t normally happen till a month in. And they’re usually sexy. Not with this show. Sighs abound.
