CBC lockout XI: A good cup of tea
There's a lot of speculation about the identity of Ouimet, the "manager" who runs the Tea Makers blog.
My colleague in Vancouver Tod Maffin is wondering today whether Ouimet is an individual manager or a committee of managers and whether or not the blog is genuine or a way of floating trial balloons from inside the broadcast centre. A couple of the commentators believe Ouimet is a real human being and a manager. (I am leaning toward that theory)
See it and resuting comments here:
Ouimet's manager's blog: The Most Popular. But is it real?
Well we know one thing Tod. Unlike the rest of us, so far, Ouimet has taken the weekend off. I think that proves he/she is a manager!!!!
Update 2100 Sunday, apologies to Ouimet
Ouimet was working the weekend, posting, I think, almost simulataneously with mine. So apologies whomever you are.
(NOTE to Ouimet. Are you updating the time stamp in Blogger before you post? The post below was not on your site when I checked Sunday morning. Yet now it shows a date of Saturday and a time of 11:55 a.m. Blogger keeps the time you begin writing a post. It's a good idea, if you save as draft and then update later, to manually update the time stamp.)
And he/she has a good point when the blog asks Where's Bobby? Where is Robert Rabinovich, the president of the CBC? Why is he letting Peter Stursberg, VP for English TV and Jane Chalmers, VP for English radio carry the ball and take all the heat?
