I'm rushing to bed again, so I bring you my day in the form of the three stand-out phonecalls that rather defined it:
1. The lovely Jamaican-sounding Irishman who wanted my help writing his speech for his daughter's wedding. He was a DUR fan! Surprisingly, I did manage to help. Nicest reader of the day!
2. The woman who phoned to 'give a comment' about Ryan Giggs (as she was apparently too busy to write a letter/email, despite then talking to me for 20 minutes). Rather surreal - I was trying to eat a gingerbread man and type up an article about the Falklands one-handed while she vented her feelings about sperm banks.
3. The man who I interviewed about his baby daughter. He told me his wife had given birth 'practically painlessly' via hypnobirthing, which seemed to rather irritate her for some reason...
Right, that's it! I did actually spend most of the day on the phone to various people, so I don't have much else to tell you!
Goodnight!
Hey, I read that you're a student journalist and so am I!!
ReplyDeleteYou talking about spending most of the day talking to various people is very reflective of my day as well.
Oh, the journalist life.
