Take the Blinders Off
It’s never been my intention to use this blog as a bitch session, but there has been something bugging me lately and I need to get it off my chest. Have you noticed that people these days seem to be very self absorbed? I mean, there are plenty of people I know who are always […]
In the Midst of Chaos…
It’s a good thing us TV producers thrive on chaos, because we got our fair dose of it today. Let’s see, where to begin…at the beginning I guess… 9am this morning, my partner and I headed off to the office. We had an important meeting at 10am so wanted to get there in time to […]
