My Bad!

I know, I know, I know...someone out there is going to be like, "Where the hell did you go?" Well, lets just say these last two weeks have been utterly busy and will not slow down yet. Oh, and today was the first snowfall of the season, but then it turned into a rainy mess. Before I forget and feel like a complete tool-- HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I have a funny feeling I will be away from the computer this whole Thursday, so I'm getting a jump on the holidays a little early. Speaking about the holidays, I cannot stand how Christmas stuff continues to be put out in stores earlier and earlier each year. At all costs, I avoid buying, putting up, or listening to anything Christmas-oriented until the day after Thanksgiving--that's how it was when I was a kid, and that will continue to be the way for me. Thanksgiving should not be shafted, so I will celebrate it all the way through.

Work update: So now that Gloria has left the station, all of her clients have been divided among the sales staff that are still around, which is a major reason why these 2 weeks have been nonstop, on-the-go production work. We have spots that have to be re-cut, reread, and completely redone. The production has been flowing in, which also makes sense because of the holiday season we're in until about January 1st. Now, as some may know, my strong suit and first love of radio is production, but sometimes it can be a little on the frustrating side...especially when it comes at you all at once and you have about a day turnaround on lots of it. And then stick a 12 hour full remote smack-dab in the middle of it all, and chaos can ensue. Don't get me wrong, the all-day remote that went down last Wednesday was amazing because it was a food drive and the pantry was able to gather 253 turkeys and HUGE amounts of nonperishables and necessities, but it drain some of us out just a little bit. Oh well, as long as it's for a good cause, then I'm fine with being in a zombie-like state for 2 days.

Cool thing with Gloria leaving (besides the fact that some irritation is gone) is that Samantha, the sales exec for our brother station, 95.3 FM Info Radio, has been promoted to sales exec for Magic and WMWV. With the amount of work that she completed with Info Radio, she definitely deserved this position! And with her moving to that position, we've gotten a new employee to the staff to take her place. Her name is Peggy and she use to work part-time for the station about 2 years ago. So far, it seems like she'll be fun to work with--she brings me a joke for the day, and we all know how much I love comedy and humor.

So, I'm hoping that the rest of the week doesn't kill me in some form or fashion--prayers are highly requested and asked for at this time.
