I know I feel like an idiot giggle it's ok... yeah...I was like, I was still trying to figure out this whole communication flow between you guys and other the other bureaus you know... giggle giggle anyway, but uh I figured that it was better to over communicate than under communicate... so this/ the {Atwood-Daimen Package} did you talk to David about what he thinks the release day is?... 'cause Brad is saying Tuesday, he thinks, you think it is Monday. I am think I will have the day-side person|... ... ... Monday... ok that makes sense...

She can do a (beeper?) probably, I haven asked, but I wanted to see if you would even want it... Uh.. we wanted it for 3:05 originally for the story|... because her shooters are running out the door to catch a flight... because Hymie is going to go, and she is going to stay... there's (noted/nothing?) 140 people now... ok... ok... yep, I will call and ask her... Call ends, New call Katie: Hey it's Katie, so you guys are filing this (look alive?), I heard about the update from Maria... when is that going to be coming in?... Right, the reason why I am asking for the (born media creature?) is that if Emily could do a (beeper) because I know the live-shot isn't really an option because your shooter has to get on a plane... so if she could do a (beeper) at 3:05 in 20 minutes... ok... ok... bye.

Call ends At 4:23 the ladies get a job to come up with a fearmongery title for an article about some sort of deadly event in china. Most of the conversation is garbled. Starting at 4:24 going to 4:27 the TV is on their channel presumably to watch their handy work. Unfortunately the sound is heavily muffled. 4:28 desperate shuffling to try to fill in a tv content gap commences. Most of which is away from the Mic * At 4:30 Emily calls in and offers something. Katie puts her on hold to ask superiors about it. The Superiors agree to replace Emily's (Beeper) with some other guys one. what follows is just massive interference on the mic* 4:31 Period of Silence with lots of typing 4:37 Katie calls someone Katie: hey, It's Katie, the number that Emily gave me... just isn't working... you, don't have another number for her do you?... ok... can I put Emily on the (Beeper line) right now? because I can't get through to that line... meanwhile Brad call through on the international line and Katie tell him that she is trying to reach Emily frantic calling to try to get in contact with Emily 4:38 frantic typing and Silence at 4:40 Emily is apparently based out of Beijing Apparent Chaos?
