This afternoon was a particularly shambolic show. I had a trainee, and so of course I made tons of mistakes. Our first goof was not realizing that someone had unplugged mic 2 (can i just interject here, why the fuck would someone leave one of the mics unplugged?) and doing two talksets where people could only hear one of us. Then later after Ross came in and fixed mic 2, I didn't realize it was live and started whispering "pot down the music!" to the trainee, right into a live mic. D'oh! Oh well, no biggie, that's live radio. Besides, this way the trainee knows that everyone makes mistakes. See, I was doing it on purpose to make her feel more comfortable! Yeah, that's it! She was really good, enthusiastic and a quick learner.
The obscene heat level continues. We broke down and turned on the a/c on Thursday. We're still turning it off in the mornings to get some fresh air inside, and also so Jane can have some inside/outside time. She hates it when the door is closed and she has to choose one or the other. And we hate her scratching at the door constantly. The heat is supposed to break on Wednesday, and I sure hope it does. We're already seeing dieback on some of our plants. This morning I finished the mowing (Georg had done most of it yesterday) and it knocked me flat. I was planning to plant the Bluestone plants this morning but after the mowing, I just couldn't stand to be outside any longer.
