Sunday

Today was our first Sunday production. It was quite hectic — we just came back from retreat, but everyone seemed to be working well together. I had to leave early because I had to attend a pastor friend's ordination service, but Sundays don't seem to be too bad. 

Sunday schedules are weird because they begin at 11 a.m.  and everything must be sent by 7 p.m. It does leave us time for homework on Sunday nights, though, which is good. I won't be doing very many Sunday updates because I go to church in the morning to the early afternoon. But Sundays should be fine since the assistant chief should be there. 

That's all for now. Full week of production this week!

Quick Update

Our production times for this week so far:

Monday night: off for Labor Day Weekend

Tuesday night: approximately 12:30 a.m. We seem to always end up late on Tuesdays. 

Tonight: Cut-off is midnight. Hopefully we'll have finals printed by then. 

Republican National Convention coverage is keeping us up, much like the Democratic National Convention did. We ended a little after midnight each production day, except on Tuesday when we ended around 12:50 a.m. 

Other than cutting it very close to deadline, our production today was not bad. I had to step out for a few hours, but my Assistant Chief Copy Editor stepped in. Catherine Lyon's article on the Palin's speech is very good. Read it.
