It's Not Going To Work...
Well, I talked to her today. On the phone. For about 15 minutes.
It's not going to work.
The minute she started talking I knew. Stringing coherent sentences seemed to be a tough thing for her to do.
Call me whatever you like, but my eventual soul mate has to be smart. She has to also be more talkative than a cactus.
*sigh*
Chalk another one off the list.
Next?
I Have No Idea.
As I walk through the tv station, talking to the talent and the production crew, one thought fills my mind - “I have no idea what I'm doing.”
Besides the fact that it's an industry I've never worked in, I'm also filling a job I've never done before.
I'm green. Like Celery. And Broccoli. And Brussel Sprouts.
It's interesting to me that they chose me – knowing that I have zero experience doing what the job involves.
So, what do I do?
Officially, I'm a “News Director”. I run the 5:00pm – 6:00pm News Hour, and then later the 11pm Newscast. While sounding interesting – and it is – it's only interesting for about 2 hours. Then it's borderline boredom.
Directing is fun – when you have something to direct.
From 6:30pm to 9:45pm, I basically do nothing.
And, if you know me, Jeremiah + boredom = :(
Being a creative individual means that when I show up to work, I need to have
something to do that's remotely interesting.
As for the hours, that's a new thing for me. Working from 3:30pm to Midnight for the first few weeks followed by a shift change to 2:30pm to 11:00pm. Working nights is pretty interesting – i.e. - I've never done it before and I'm too naive to know that having all of my nights taken up all the time is going to drive me through the roof.
Right now it's boring – until Monday when my crash course in “Parker Vision” takes place.
That should be a real blast.
On the “girl front”, tonight I got a phonecall from my friends – they had her cell phone number for me. I called it at around 9pm while I was on break, but it went straight to voicemail. I left a message – tripping over my words the entire time. I left my phone number in there somewhere.
She works nights also, apparently, and I have no idea what time she gets out of wherever it is that she works. (I have no idea what she even does.)
In the end, the ball is in her court now. I left my number in there – I probably sounded like a moron “Ummm...hey. Yeah. My friend gave me your number...”
*sigh*
If nothing, my life is always interesting...
D-Day
I got the phonecall this morning. Tomorrow at the crack of 3:30PM I start working at WKTV.
Sweet!
w00t!
Today is a good day! I got a full time job at WKTV. WOOHOO!
And the peasents rejoiced!
The full time job is working for the creative services department and also directing the 10pm News on WBU11. When I got there they had already decided to hire me.
Wow.
I'd like to thank everyone for their prayers - except Kathy. I don't want to thank her because I know that it will make her mad. HA!
Nothing linke comng close to the edge - and managing to step back at the last minute.
I posted this before, but it seems applicable to post it again:
"For I know the plans I have for you," says the LORD. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me in earnest, you will find me when you seek me. I will be found by you," says the LORD. "I will end your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the nations where I sent you and bring you home again to your own land."- Jeremiah 29:11-14Full time job! HUZZAH!
The Ball Is Rolling.
Well, I went to church today, and talked to the people that had been attempting to set me up.
They're going to contact me tomorow with her phonenumber.
*sigh*
Here goes nothing...
