Prep it, Pack it, Work it, Unload it, Repeat...

University finished 5 months ago now. In that time I have gone from fully pledged student to full time worker with odd other entities in between. All that time ago back in the days of black and white or rather when I was at uni I had to create a blog. It all seemed rather trivial and course filling stuff, but I realise now how cool they kind of are.

So from this moment on let me introduce you to the highlight of your day, the Dave Cartwright blogging extravaganza!

Currently life falls into three categories: Live Sound, Recording Studio and not enough sleep.

The company i work for is where most of my time is occupied. They offers sound, staging and a small amount of lighting to whoever is willing to pay. From starting last year i am now working pretty much full time with opportunities of learning to drive trucks and more just around the corner. This job has offered many opportunities and currently is ace!

The recording studio is a small studio that is also a part of a youth charity. After recording a full album as part of my degree the studio is now in a time of finding clients as well as the youth in the project how to become the next generation of sound engineer. All good fun and at times rewarding.

Not enough sleep. By working full time and squeezing the studio in around this this occasionally leaves the odd amount of time to embark on the mission of sleeping. Sometimes i wish that i could be like that guy in one of the James Bond movies...Be super hard and never need to sleep! Now how could and time saving would that be. However i know people that get less than me, so I will hold back on that rant, and put my ranting skills into action at a later date on something far more important.

And until the next, hopefully more exciting, installment, let me leave you with an irritating, if rather amusing problem from a show i was involved with in August.



When ends don't met the best advice is stop now and go home. It is only going to get worse. (In this case the making this connection would prove pointless as the yellow generator would later cut out mid show, certainly a show that won't be forgotten in a hurry.)
