So even though its been a rough week, I'm still standing and have had a little bit of a boost today, despite only having 2hrs sleep last nite or should i say this morning...
Got to work at 9.30am and worked non-stop till 3.45pm when I realized I did not have lunch, so I sent the work-experience student off to get me some lunch. Second day in a row I've had a Bacon and Egg Sandwich with BBQ sauce for lunch... Yes I know sounds wierd cos its normally for breakfast... but when u're as busy as me, who cares what time is breakfast... plus, breakfast is like one or my favourite meals of the day because its not as rushed as the other meals...
Had to re-shoot some stuff today because someone had accidentally rewound the video in the camera to take a look but didn't put it back in the same spot... and the pple who went out to shoot while I was teaching class did not check too... sooooooooooooo the things that were initially recorded got recorded over!!!
Back to the boost, I've created a breakthrough in regards to YouTube videos at work and an email was sent around...
Here's a section of what was said in the email trail:

Hi PP
Michelle has encoded the latest cctv video to test and it looks incredible. It hasn't been made public yet because there are changes being made, and because it's a bit early but if you want to check it out log in to the cccof YT account for a look.

Awesome. Great job. Go Michelle!
Even looks good in full screen mode.
The script now needs to be tidied up so the presenters are looking up to the video quality.
Hmmm. One thing leads......
Love you guys.

Kudos to you!
So as you can see, sometimes all the anguish is worth it... even if it meant trying different encoders while u're half-awake at 4am...
All we have to do now is to keep it up...
Also for a certain someone in my circle of friends, the drought has been broken... which hopefully means it will also break the same drought for the rest of us... If you don't understand, DON'T WORRY! Nothing harmful... only for that circle of friends who were listening to get it. :)
So at this hour in time, i've clocked 74hrs of work in 5 days...come to think of it, it's kinda scary.... and the workload is only just starting to increase... more so in the next few months... plus an extra class to teach in Semester 2...
I wonder how my application is going for the masters... Heard back from the Immigration Lawyer today... Step 1 of 3 of the paperwork has been approved...
Anyway my work here is almost done, so I shall end this blog.... and remind myself that THE CAMELS ARE ON THEIR WAY BACK HOME... :)
