exhaustion...and it's only tuesday, or is it weds?


man these new work hours are killing me. i'm ok once i get out of bed, but it's hard to get up. and i start yawning around 1700 (5p). i honestly don't know how much i can take working two jobs and 16 hour days.

it has been an interesting two nights though. i've been training with my Monday/Tues supervisor, Mike. he's pretty cool. yesterday we had a lot of fun and today was work. i've only messed up once in my two days though. it's a lot like radio with the playlists and the commercials so i'm not completely lost. it's waaay more involved than radio though. and plus you're running 3 or 4 stations at the same time.

a lot of the other stuff i'm doing i've seen done before. like all that time i spent hanging around the TV studio at school watching larmon work. i do some of those things now! i think he'd be surprised since i was always like "man i hate tv. i don't want to do anything with tv. yuck yuck yuck."

it's just me and the guys so far. there's another new girl that started this week too, and she works my shift, but she has monday and tuesdays off. she's training in the daytime so the supers in primetime aren't overloaded with new people. tomorrow will be different (or is that today?) because Mike isn't the super on Weds, he just works and i think two of the other guys that i've been with all week are off. So i'll have a new super and 2 new people. the other guy that was there today didn't say much. i guess i should be less snobby but he seemed like he was deep in concentration so i didn't want to disturb him.

anyway, i'm still nervous about how this is all going to work out. when you get involved with tape pulling and running syndicated shows, it gets complicated and i like how my job is easy right now.

other news

i went to patrick's dad's funeral today with the gang. it was a very simple, short and sweet ceremony. patrick's brother said that that was how his father was described so everyone thought he would have wanted it that way.

i hate how it takes funerals to get people together though. i don't think the *whole gang* has hung out in a long time, if ever. we all had lunch and goofed around for a while before heading back to work. since ryan is leaving, i'm sure that's the last time that everyone will be together. if not forever, at least for 18 months.

i wrote this letter to ryan that's sort of like a good luck, be careful thing. but i reread it today and it's not what i want it to say. so if you read this ryan, that envelope you found is going to change anyway. not that you remember finding it or anything.

i'd love to say more, but i really need all of my 5 hours of sleep.
