First day at Radio Station

First day in the radio station was so cool man...The technician brought me to the transmitter ( which is located at the other side of the harbour bridge) and showed me around the heart of the radio station where all the ardware is located. I was really really excited, but he said all these stuff are considered primitive relative to the other big stations. The ironic thing is he is not trained in Electrical engineering. He is trained as a journalist. He went to ABC to work as a journalist. He didnt like journalism so he followed some ABC technicians and became quite a good technician himself. And next year he will be going to Sydney uni doing Electrical engineering 1st year....and i am 3rd year....????? This is proof that uni education is useless without practical work. So eventhough the pay is little....i guess it is worthit...but i have to find a better paying job...hope to go to work at a guitar shop. I will be helping him build a new studio and a producers bench...thats so exciting...I get learn how to build room with good acoustics....learn how to get good sound...etc etc.
And during my free time, i bought a Metallica DVD...so cool man...it showed how the Black album was made. To those ppl who think that the solos are are random and kirk hamlett just plays what he feel...U r wrong(Thats what i thought anyway). Every guitar solo in the album had to go through the ears of the producer and he will say whther the solo is good enough. So to those ppl who think metal is just noise, think again. Kirk Hamlett was really quite stressed
I also finally cleaned the backyard. When i came back from Brisbane, the backyard was black...he leaves and flowers were decomposing...i guess its because sydneys whether has been quite extreme for the past week. But its not all that bad...i pushed all the decomposing flowers and leaves to the soil hoping that it will give fresh nutrients to the plants ( you might be thinking i am just plain lazy and do not want to clean it up...i guess u are partially right).
And my grandma coming on SUNDAY...so cool....get to c her ...and also the stuff that she will be bringing for me..hahah...joking.....I miss her...the stuff she bring is secondry....SO HAPPY...
