So we'll skip all the it's been so long, and I've been so busy lately stuff and just say hello.
As I jump into this game of trying to impress people at my new job with fresh ideas and a drive to succeed I've begun thinking is this industry really worth all that I'll need to put into it. Yea it's a job which, trust me, I am thankful for, but is it worth the stress and the emotional pain and frustration that it's probably going to bring. I say this having just finished my first week up here and people apparently love it here. But they all seem to have this passion and drive for the news, something which I lack. I would love to change it in a way that makes it more appealing and web-based rather than just depressing stories watched on a less-than-clear broadcast. But this job guarantees good experience and a day that promises to never be the same from day-to-day. Well the work will be the same but the topics and issues won't be. I'll hopefully get the chance to write and already have a little bit, but right now it's just tuning out radio scanners the noise of the newsroom. I've still got my dreams but those are on hold right now as I try to get some experience under my belt so one day I might can pursue those dreams. So for now I'll deal with the undetermined schedule and potentially horrible hours and pretend that my dream is to be an investigative reporter. I'll build some furniture, my new hobby, and move out of my parents' house in a month. So wish me luck...
