In the office being Sat rep for yesterday. Offstone (the time the paper goes to print) is at 1.14am. That will be the latest time I get off, unless something happens and we have to bust offstone. I hope not. The article I wrote over the evening has been cleared and should be going to the subs soon but the ed-in-chief asked to see it just now. He msged from his house. It has been a good evening. A productive one. God is very very gracious and very very good. It's the first time I'm Sat rep ever even though when you add up all the months from different stints, I've been working as a journo for over two years. As sat rep, you read the Chinese papers for any thing interesting to chase, handle the hotline calls and chase any breaking story that must be out for tomorrow's edition. Hmm, my story is still not laid yet. I think the ed-in-chief may be doing changes to get another related story run too for today. Came in yesterday at about 430pm, though the shift starts at 5pm, or well, technically, you could be activated to chase a story any time from Fri midnight. I felt slightly jumpy, or a lesser version of jumpy, when I went to bed last morning with my handphone next to me. Though I always sleep with my handphone next to me. Going to go home, cab it back once the duty editor says I can. Then I'd msg my poor dear boyfriend who I pray is having a good sleep now then he would wake up and call me (poor baby!) and we will chat (poor dear!) before we call it a night (for him, the second time). Then I will wake up at 7am and make sure I'm out of my door by 830am so I can reach church for band pract by 940am. And after church, I go to town by 2pm to celebrate an old-time friend's birthday. Oooh.
