Here Again...

So I finally show my face around here again. Was going to check in last week, but work kept me very busy...among other things. So hope you had a great Thanksgiving and was able to spend it with the ones you love. Just a few updates...I worked a lot. Was on the air Wednesday and Thursday filling in for vacationing people over the holidays. Friday I went out for WIBX on Black Friday to cover shopping. Was out at the mall at 4:30 in the morning...yes...I was insane!! Traffic was nearly impossible to navigate around 6. The plus side is, I did 6 live remotes for WIBX and everyone that had heard them said I sounded great...so I think that's good that my boss now knows I can do it. Maybe I'll get more on air work because of that. Not thinking it'll happen, but I can wish can't I? I actually had a conversation with my boss over at Lite about a few things. In a nutshell, it was about me not getting the hours when people took days off...and you can say that it's not up to me whether I get the hours or not...it's up to my boss...and trust me I know that. I was irritated and kind of upset that back in September he told me that I would get any extra hours that became available...and then a few weeks ago I didn't get them...so yes I was upset. I think we're ok now though, I think we came to an understanding, and we're still speaking to each other which is good. I don't like having to confront a boss, but I thought it should be out in the open. So that's that for the time being. I'm going on a mini-vacation this weekend and I really can't wait! I don't get to see Rich for two weeks which is going to literally kill me...but I need to get out of this place for a little while. So that's the update for the time being...nothing else to report on for a little bit...until next time...see ya!!

WEEEE

So like the new banner at the type of my page? That would be compliments of my boyfriend. I'm not artistic enough to do something like that myself...lol. So anyway, I've been working my ass off lately...getting really tired of dealing with news. This week hasn't been too bad...the meetings have been pretty short and they aren't the same things that I hate covering. It's been a big budget week around here...so that's kind of interesting in a sense. I haven't been in that great of a mood this week...one of my bosses has irritated me, plus I think I'm coming down with a cold. My throat has been killing me for three days, my nose runs off and on throughout the day and I sneeze and cough...it's really quite annoying...and just makes my days even worse. I did however get most of my Christmas shopping finished yesterday...so one less thing I have to worry about. Nothing else really going on...I'll probably put an update up next week around the holiday time if I get some time between working.

Election Day 2006

So Election Day is finally over. Something that probably pleases me more then a lot of other people. Obviously I'm sure people are happy to have the commercials done and know that changes have been made...hopefully for the better. My election day consisted of a really long night and a very tiring following day. It was fun to be out in the field watching the coverage and listening to the results coming in. The station was still hopping at 1 in the morning...which is very unusual for us...a real news staff was on hand to cover all major events. When I got tired around midnight I still ran on the high from the past few hours. News can do that. For me...that's become the only good thing about news. Meeting some great people and seeing the high it can give you when you cover certain events. Then there's the other side of it where you have to cover the hard things...like when I first started and a local police officer was killed...covering those news conferences was the hardest thing...plus I had just started in news...so for me it was a complete shock. I just don't think news is what I want to do full time...especially since they don't let me go on the air. That's my passion. I love being on the air. As I mentioned before, I get a rush every time I get to go on the air...that never changes. So holidays are coming up. I love the holidays...the smell from the baking I get to do, the peace of the snow blanketing the earth, the shopping for people I love, getting to see family...the holidays never get old. I love this time of the year...I get to be on the radio more then just weekends...so obviously I'll be keeping you posted about the holidays as they come upon us and about work...as for the full time job...didn't get the one I was really hoping for...now I'm at a loss. I've applied for many more...it's just a matter of hearing back from them. It's depressed me a little though...news is just not fun to go into anymore. But we'll see what happens...one thing I know for sure...I need a damn vacation!! Until next time, Peace...and stay warm!!
