Editing problems

I went to the local produce market with Hamda to do a story on the traffic problems caused by unlicensed vendors setting up shop in the street along the waterfront. I came back from the market, and wrote my script. then I went to go get my sound bite... and found a big problem, the editing computer had no space. Shortly thereafter I was informed that due to the problems, my story would not air. I had been working on the story all afternoon and was not about to give up. So after the 8 o'clock news was in the can, and there was some free space in the machine I took the tape to the editing room, and got the bite. There was barely enough time to edit it together. The story aired! In this newsroom you can't just accept road blocks.
