I got a mild case of hysterical deafness at CJSW today - I actually got so stressed out that I didn't hear what people were saying to me. Why? Because I showed up late for my show and caught major hell for it from the Program Director, Jane. Lisa, the DJ who was training me, was also stressed about not having enough music to fill an extra hour of airtime. Apparently the guy who does the show after hers is in Victoria right now.

So I'm in the booth watching Lisa scramble to get everything sorted out and ake time to train me how to do stuff, and already feeling seriously shaken. But a couple of her friends were there, and they gave me a hand. Plus, Lisa heard a bit of what Jane said to me and saw how I was acting afterwards, and after she got her shit together she was much more sympathetic.

Jane even came into the booth to see how I was doing, and while she didn't apologize (and she shouldn't have - I *was* late, after all), she did kind of explain her curtness and stick around to chat. Of course, she started it off by clapping her hands down on my shoulders from behind and asking me a question *just* as I was about to switch over to another song, and my game went all to hell. We had a few seconds of dead air, there. But I recovered, so it's all good.

dunno if I'm in a mood to go drinking with my boss tonight, though, after all that. She's probably been catching hell the past couple days (my days off) for the huge catastrophe, so I dunno how much fun she's gonna be.

I will eventually put up a profile pic. I'm not sure if it's gonna be one with me and Lotus, or one with me abusing Spooky. Yes, you read that right. We'll see.
