Well, it's Monday, July 14, and I'm coming off a busy, busy two weeks.
Andy's birthday barbecue was smashing. The brisket turned out WONDERFUL, although it was a little difficult and required my committing to spending the entire day at the apartment. No worries, I'd done my 18 mile walk on Thursday instead of Friday. Thanks to all who called or sent e-mails to wish him a happy birthday! I know he was really touched to hear from everyone: Especially the different renditions of the birthday song. :)
It was a super busy weeknd for me. The station decided to put me on the air for the first time anchoring newscasts. My news director's suggestion was I would do the bottom of the hour (on the 30s) and my trainer, Jim, would do the top of the hour. Jim felt otherwise and just had me do all of them. That meant I cut and played two newscasts an hour for eight hours straight. In between, I was writing scripts, updating stories and just struggling to keep afloat. All went well (only a few flubs) for my first weekend on the air, and I'm picking up weekday hours cutting voicers for the station. Working in Hannity-land is definitely not something I intend to do forever, but it's OK until something better comes along. (More on that later.)
So now we're off to the races for another week. I was supposed to start training for the U of Phoenix position this week, but it looks as though my transcripts didn't make it there in time, so I'll start next week. That's actually preferable, since I'll be wrapping up round one just before the start of the 3Day. I'll walk and hit round two of training as soon as I get back.
Hope you're all doing well. Love and miss y'all,
Regan
