WORKING HOURS
My working hours were flexible. No flextime when I was not going 'on air' but I was
working as long as it was necessary. Both weekend and holiday works were often
required. Frequently I was working at home where I was writing scripts and other
texts for broadcasting and promoting. However each broadcast was different and if it
was a morning show, afternoon show or late night show I was spending longer hours
at the editorial offices working mid-morning until late evening. If it was transmission I
was working in the field. My working hours were very unpredictable which I preferred
as a person who have been working at media for 25 years.
