So yesterday I didn't feel up to recording anything. My allergies are getting the better of me, and I also managed to hit myself in the face TWICE and make my lip wound bleed. It was painful. So I did a lot of sleeping, and I also managed to create this:
In case you are confused, it is a positionable mount for my pop filter. Yeah, it sounds fancy. It is a clothes pin I painted black and a dark blue 16 gauge wire tied to the pop filter. I managed to make a hole in the pop filter, though, so eventually I will have to recover it. Ok, it is a canning ring with black nylons sewn over it. It'll be easy to sew another one on. But it does what it is meant to do...soften the plosives and protect the condenser in the mic from moisture. I should have done it a long time ago. I just hadn't put any brain power into deciding how to make it work.
Today I start my last week at my contract job. My contract is up March 31. I am sad. I will miss working there. I will still volunteer, but as soon as I find a paying gig I will be gone. They are all so nice, and it is fun working there. It is rare to find a workplace that is so free from drama and kattiness. Where really there are no office politics. If there are, I didn't see them. It is easy to get my work done, because I can concentrate on what needs to be done instead of worrying about who is saying what to whom, and whether I will have to defend myself against false accusations. Or, as was the case at one place I worked, have to defend my working habits because someone else doesn't understand what my job is and keeps reporting me for not doing my job. Or worry if someone else in the office is going to decide to make my job harder because they have decided they don't like me. It is nice to have a working environment that is professional and friendly and non judgemental. I hope I can find that again.
Ok. Now that i have that out, I need to get ready to head out. I will probably work more on the audio when I get home. I need to record and to cut the existing audio into spidgettes.
Also, if you haven't one so already, you can still head over to the Douglas Adams Video Contest and vote for mine. Only a few weeks left. :)
