Over-sensitive

Hey, listen, I posted something yesterday when I was feeling a little over-sensitive about being the person who fills in for other people and the inevitable disappointment that understandably evokes in listeners or viewers to the person who is usually there. Hey, it's my lot. I was having a bad day, but that's nobody else's fault. Also, it seems I misrepresented a blameless listener to 6 Music called Gillian. Forget my over-sensitive response to it. She's written a blog about our silly spat, so I suggest you read that, although the matter is in danger of being blown out of proportion. Not by her, I might add. (I never named her, even by her Twitter name, either on the blog, or on air, as it was never meant as a personal attack.)

Gillian and I have exchanged friendlier emails since, but a) I don't want to look as if I am seeking sympathy – I never was; I was merely writing honestly about my week on 6 Music, and you can hardly accuse someone who's blog you are reading of being solipsistic: it's kind of what blog are! – and b) it doesn't really matter. There are films to review.

For full disclosure (she doesn't like me on the radio – fair enough) her blog is here. My blog post has been re-filed under "Think before you post anything that makes you look silly."
