Random Thoughts and Ramblings for 4/5
Welcome the latest edition of my mindless rabble. I'm your host Jonathan. Kick your shoes off, take a seat and enjoy the ride. There's much to talk about.
So here I am at the station at freakin' 10:00 at night. There's a good reason for that: I needed to do some stuff online and I couldn't do it at home because my laptop's ac adaptor is being stupid and I don't have the $45 to get a new one right now. Thank God I live close by, otherwise I'd really be kicking myself right now. Wait a minute, it's 10:00 PM and I'm at work when I could have left at 7:00. Maybe I should kick my own arse afterall. Eh, it happens. Thankfully it won't be like this when I get the new adaptor, which will hopefully be soon.
I didn't get promoted and this time it's for real. In case you've been away from the planet for the last few months, I've basically been interim program director of my station and I've been trying for the gig. Well, today I found out that I didn't get it and that they've hired a guy from Michigan to take the gig. I'm not bitter or anything. A little disappointed, sure, but I can't complain about this. It's been a learning experience and I'm taking a lot of valuable experience away from this time. No, I'm not leaving the station... it's the book, I can't leave now! Besides, we've got some big plans that we've been working on for a long time and I'm not leaving now. Oh no, I gotta at least see this through. Besides, Bill (my boss) said that I'm "one of the rising stars in the company" so maybe this could mean something down the road. But you better believe I'm going for those APD/MD stripes! Hell, I basically have been that since I got here almost a year ago.
Speaking of employment, while Bill was hiring a new Program Director for us, the guy at Hater 107 was getting fired. This is the guy who fired two midday jocks within a week. I wish him well. But, honestly, he got what he deserved.
And here's another thing: I've lived here almost a year! In fact, it will be a year on May 15th. I didn't realize that until this morning. It doesn't feel like it's been anywhere close to that but I suppose it has. The last (almost) year has been full of ups, downs and everything in between. Would I change anything? No, not one thing. Living away from home has been a good experience for me. I can't lie, I miss my family and my friends like mad. And there are lots of things about the south itself that I miss (especially sweet tea!). But I'm here for a reason. I was brought here for a reason and I'm still here for a reason (and I think that reason is Emily) so I'm going to see this through. It just trips me out though... a year!
I've been sitting here for a minute trying to figure what to write next but I keep returning to the fact that I've almost been here for a year. Yeesh.
I really don't know what else to write about. So I suppose I'll end this now, wrap up what I came here to do and go back to the pad. May write more later, like tomorrow or something. Peace out, be WiLD!
