A bit of downtime

Nothing like some downtime at work to write a little update. I don't even know what I wrote last, but considering it was back in August and it's almost Oct. I can assume a lot has passed since then.
I'm still working the morning hours. My sleeping has been a little off these past couple of weeks, but nothing I can't handle. I usually catch up on missed hours during the weekend. About two weeks ago my brother and I went to the Bengals season opener - I was able to get tickets through work. It looked like they were going to pull off a win, but with less than 40 seconds left they lost it! It was definitely a tough loss. The next home game is this Sunday against Pittsburgh. Speaking of sports, Drew and I are playing in a co-ed sand volleyball league Wednesday nights. Tonight is our third match and so far we are undefeated.

This weekend should be pretty eventful. I am throwing a birthday party this Friday (more details to come after the fact) and Saturday is the fall family picnic on my dad's side. Sunday will most likely be a catch up day.

Work is a little busy right now as we are preparing for the HD launch. The launch shouldn't be too stressful for me, but it does include a handful of changes. We will be using a different graphics program that I need to learn and will probably play around with this week. I also have to practice with the cameras since some viewers will be watching in 16:9 (wide screen) and others will be watching in 4:3 (standard). That just means that I have to be aware of what's in the surrounding area of the shot so those people who are watching in the 16:9 don't have the other anchor's arm or part of the face in the frame.

On the plus side, I will be able to attend IU's Homecoming in Oct. I am really excited to get back to Bloomington and catch up with friends I haven't seen in a while. Well, that's it for now. I need to get into the studio for rehearsals. Enjoy your weekend. Until next time...
