Easy shift.

It's a process of learning not to panic. Of knowing where things are and not being surprised by things. Of doing things at the right time -- not early, and not late. Of keeping every little thing as drama free as possible. First time in a month my shift didn't have anything unusual happening to it. I didn't even have many carts that needed playing. I was nursing the board. Went online and looked at porn. Follow the link if you don't believe me.

Somebody *seriously* needs to buy me at lease one each of the RCA 44 and 77 series ribbon mics from the 'thirties. You can still get 'em, in good working order, for under $2,000 apiece. I'm not sure which design I prefer, you see, and need to live with it for a while and check them out against eachother. I would *so* kill to go on the air with one of those.
