Monday:
What a day! Mondays are just that day all around; so blah and drab. They take forever to get going and forever to end. I definitely had a foot in mouth moment today. I made a comment, totally innocent…I wasn’t trying to be rude or disrespectful, but I felt like a total jerk. And each time I opened my mouth it just became worse, I just kept digging a hole for myself. Ugh! So terrible! (It had to do with me elaborating on an ethnic stereotype, which I don’t want to repeat again here!) So I insulted a seasoned and well respected reporter and made myself a laughing stock to one of the photographers. Perfect! But when I spoke to the photographer I was with, he said I was fine; the reporter was just trying to get me flustered and it worked. I did get the sense I was being provoked. But, ah, that is not a situation I want to be in again!
Other than that, it was quite a day. We drove to
Wednesday was another fabulous day in the Web department. There were soooo many stories to post when I got in. I think it was because there was breaking news that took precedence. I posted at least ten from the wires, reconfigured a press release to post, and cut video for the Website. I love busy days in the station; the hustle and bustle makes you feel like you're part of something greater, like you're doing something constructive. It always feels fulfilling and it's always a fantastic day at work!
