First day of work

Sent Matthew to class for the first time this morning. I think it's a bit hard for him to get used to things here, but hopefully in time he'll be ok. It doesn't help that one of the teachers speaks Cantonese to the other kids. Looks like Matt is the only one that doesn't understand what she is saying. When we met him at lunch, he didn't want to eat the macaroni in spagetti sauce as he is definitely not used to it. He's more of a chicken rice, french fries kind of boy. Didn't even want to drink the cold milk. Finally got him to drink some water and a little bit of the macaroni without the sauce. Today we made sure he brought biscuits and stuff. Understand the lunch today is rice, so hopefully it will be alright for him.
Li Soon started work in the office, helping to fix up some filing shelves and to do filing. Seems that she works too fast....hehe. So she said she'll take it easier today so that she doesn't stress up the others ppl in the office.
Yesterday I made up a to-do list below. Managed to only finish item number 2.
1. Wire component video cables from Panasonic WV-RC700A CCU to switcher
2. Figure out how to switch CCU to component video output
3. Look for 44 pin D-sub connector for switcher tally – contact manufacturer?
4. Hook up tally lights for cameras
5. Look for and order waveform monitor
6. Check key input on switcher
7. Fix Cam 1 colour problem
8. Camera 2 control cable issue
9. Training for calibration and tuning of video cameras
10. Fix headphone connector for studio
11. Adjustment of sanctuary speakers
12. Tuning of sanctuary EQ
13. Acoustic treatment for sanctuary
14. Studio camera lens issue on camera 5
15. Studio camera servo issue on camera 4
16. Relight studio
17. Get service manual for waveform monitor.

Also brought in a network cable into my room so that I can surf at night, as they are definitely not happy with wireless LAN here.
Gotta go back to work now.
