The past month...

So a lot has happened over the past month, none of which I checked in on. The last post I told you about a job that I was hoping to get. Well, I did get it, but not the way I had expected. About 3 weeks ago I was laid off from the paper due to "econoic difficulties" or some bullshit like that. I know it was because I had mentioned looking at this other job. I thought I was doing the right thing and they were my friends who wanted the best for me. Boy was I wrong, they didn't care. They threw me out on the road. As I felt like my world was crumbling that day, everyone around me said they knew I would land on my feet. That same day I went into the station to have them kinda offer me the job I was after. Me and the other girl got it, which means we're considered part time. Normally I wouldn't mind this, but I do, because that means no benefits. I'm working about 39.5 hours a week...I need to squeeze a half hour somewhere and then maybe they'll give it to me. They said it's possible and they are working on it, so we'll see what happens with that. The bottom line, it was definitely the world's shortest unemployment.

So I've been working at WIBX for 2 and a half weeks or so and I absolutely love it. I do wish I was on the air, but I am so happy to be working there. Totally different then how the paper was the past few months. I get along with all my co-workers and am busy and almost always doing something. It really feels great. Lite hasn't suffered either, I keep doing the voicetracking, and it's been amazing on gas. I went 2 weeks without gasing up, it felt wonderful! Although all good things must come to an end if they can't get me insurance. I told them I want to stay around but I need insurance. This was their way of screwing both me and the other girl, who was also looking for insurance, over, by hiring us both part-time instead of full. They could benefit from a news department with more full-time people, we are covering a lot more then the station used to. But you know money is always the issue, and anything to keep us from getting extra.

I'm am really looking forward to vacation which is officially 2 weeks away. I can't wait to get away for a week and spend it with Rich. I do think we have some things we need to talk about, because I have some worries about things, so maybe this will give us a chance to do that.

For the past week I have been excercising, making me feel a lot better. I'm happy to be getting back downstairs to do that. I hope to continue it and I'm looking to lose some weight and get in better shape. So wish me luck with that :)

I think the final important note is that Carrie Underwood is coming to the area in October! I got my tickets today! I'm so excited. The third year in a row I get to see her, so I'm happy about that. I haven't been a fan of anyone as much since NSync...lol.

So yeah, been a busy month here, hopefully I didn't lose anything out and hopefully I'll check in again soon and let you know what's going on. Take care and peace out until next time.
