Typical Day At Work

I thought it'd be interesting to go through a typical day at work with me by using some visual aides. All photos taken were taken on 7/13/05.

The day typically starts off with me doing a lot of edits.

Left monitor is Cool Edit Pro, PROPHET to the right.

Here I am in one of our production rooms. I am doing some edits for XHEPR 99.1 The Bandit. I am editing a song & recording it in real-time to our on-air computer.

Cool Edit Pro

This is our Cool Edit computer. Great program if you can afford it. What I am doing on this computer is making a live musical performance of Pat Benetar sound produced & radio-ready.

PROPHET systems SUCKS!

This is our on-air computer system called PROPHET. Everything that you hear on-air happens through this computer. I am loading the song in real-time into its file.

PROPHET still SUCKS!

This final screen is how we make a computer sound like a human operator is playing the songs. I am playing the file back to set an intro limit to the song, and the crossfade to fire either the next song, or a commercial set.

So, now I am free to do whatever I need to. It's already past time to do any more edits, so I decide to go get myself something to drink.

... words, uh... words...

So I hit the lunchroom and grab myself a Fanta soda. It comes in this really interesting & tasty flavor called Apple.

I need to trim my nails!

It's got some stupid contest. All I know is "1 in 12 Wins!"

Fat chance, fat-boy!

DAMNIT!

LOSER!

Well, after spending $10.20 to see if I would really win I gave up.

Yes, enjoy that drink you fat pig!

I need to trim my nails...
