A Master Class

It was once stated on one of my appraisals that 'Janette enjoys the social aspect of working' and who ever said that (the feedback was confidential!) was absolutely spot on. I love the fact that I work with such a diverse mix of people at my current role. Take for instance today, I spent the majority of my lunch hour, talking to one of the temps, who is a recently graduated film student. There we were, in between mouthfuls of food, discussing the virtues of You Tube and how I would film one of my tasks. For a novice like me, the advice was invaluable. I know what I want to film, but haven't got a clue how to go about filming it, so Mr Film Student gave me a few pointers, that will hopefully put me on the right tracks. Now, if only I could work with someone, who knows Take That........
