Wow.
I really seem to be suffering from a lack of inspiration and real writers block. I keep starting an entry and then deleting it because I think it is utter crap.
Work is not inspiring. I started on our new show but there is very little to do. In fact if this keeps on I might have to start thinking about a different career path.
Though Jailbait keeps pointing out how I should be thinking that work is only a means to get money to go on climbing trips - so having a quiet job, leaving on time and not working weekends is actually a great boon.
One amusing factor about this new show is the type of conversations I keep hearing from the Editorial team's side of the office.
Once again I point out that these are only things you would probably hear in a TV office, or a gathering for some severely sick and twisted individuals (slightly paraphrased however the gist is still the same).
Disclaimer: TV people are not twisted - we just think differently to your average person.
Colleague 1: So I found this girl, she is 6 and has leukemia
Colleague 2: Is it advanced?
Colleague 1: I'm not sure
Colleague 2: We only want really sick children, the sicker the better.
Colleague 1: Ok, I'll find out and if not keep looking.
I promise it isn't as bad as it sounds - I'll explain in a couple of months.
In any other environment I'd be losing my faith in humanity. But this is just TV.

I completely understand!! It sounds drastic and dreadful but you're right! It's the industry!
LOL!
Sick bastards!! Hahahaha
Can't wait to hear more :-)
Jailbait is quite the practical philosopher, isn't he?
@blondie - Yes, this industry is weird.
@kyknoord - You don't know the half of it. If I get one more lecture about determinism and the like I think I will spontaneously combust. (And yes that will happen from my experiences with past events) (I suppose that only really makes sense if you know what determinism is ...)
oh god, that sounds painfully familliar...
Eish...don't worry sissie...I'm having moral dilemmas working on a project for the ANC...it isn't fun working for a government that embezzles dosh, steals taxpayers money, has dodgy ties with Mugabe & wants to do away with the only practical organisation that makes sense in a long time, the Scorpions!
Something along the lines of 'Don't bite the hands that feeds you' rings true to this! Grin & bare it sweet cheeks!
Poor kids though :(
@zuzula - Get used to the weirdness ;)
@kab - There is a good reason for what they want and it is a good thing! Just that the conversations sound so damn funny
We have morbidly entertaining conversations about obits in my office. 'Boring deaths' don't get much of a look in if space is tight...
wow... what a..um.. Okay that was Sick! But I guess showbiz is showbiz right xx
I know what you mean about uninspired. I am feeling very similar...hope you start feeling better :)
I can only imagine how twisted the TV industry can be.
I am completely with you. Not the sick children thing, but I'm so uninspired to write anything. I started writing a blog today and deleted it as well.
My
life
feels
so
mundane...
more freedom for climbing is always a good thing! :)
i agree with jailbait :)
@zuzula - yup, got to have eye catching headlines and stories! That sells. Mrs X buying her groceries does not.
@elise - Yup ;)
@being brazen - me too, it's annoying me actually cause I love to write :(
@pdx - perhaps it's something in the water?
@sweets - I also do, but I crave some excitement in my life
Work is a means to have a really kick ass holiday whenever you want it..oh and a means to buy boots..and shoes..and more boots...
Ah yes, the shoe fund. One can not use that.
Lopz was informing me last night how she doesn't want children cause she'd be fat and would have to spend her shoe fund on the child.
I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is
guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell
you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious
why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is
it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry
with your health practitioner, it's really not their
fault. They can only practice what they're told to
practice, right?
When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom
foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it
in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout
