I’ve got to start updating this thing more regularly. What’s the point in having a blog if I don’t use it?

Problem is, I don’t feel like I’ve had a whole lot of thoughts lately. Does that even make sense?

It’s like… Wake, work, come home, eat, sleep.

Six weeks in, and I’m still trying to adjust to my new big-kid schedule. ;)

My poor tumblr hasn’t been getting much activity from me since I started my new job :(

I need to make more of an effort to blog more often (I always forget that I can blog via text).

I also feel useful for the first time since I left the paper.

I finally have a job again that requires dedication, skill, concentration, and all that good stuff that ultimately results in the satisfaction of a job well-done.

Yay!

I got business cards AND a name placard today. I’m big-time now!

I start my new job tomorrow…

and I’m nervous as hell :/

Psh. Who am I kidding? I’m gonna kick ass :)

Oh my god… I have a fulll-time job!

It’s about time :)

Dolla dolla bill, ya’ll!

Waiting for a job to call back is like torture. I jump every time my phone makes a sound.

Is there anything worse than trying to “sell” yourself to get a job?

I don’t think so.

I’m horrible at it. Really. I hold back because I don’t want to look like I’m cocky or think too highly of myself, yet bragging about my skills and accomplishments is really the only way I’m going to convince someone to give me a job :)

This would probably explain why I’ve had next to no response to the job applications I’ve sent out since graduating. I need to do a better job of selling myself — Good thing Allan from Web100 is helping me out.

I need a critical eye, otherwise I get stuck in my comfort zone and become complacent ;)

I work with people who do nothing but complain about their jobs.

This pisses me off because I want nothing more than to get a full-time position, and it won’t happen as long as negative people stick around just so they have something to complain about and feel sorry for themselves about.

Also: Complaining about your job and mentioning how much you want a new career via your Facebook status every day is neither productive nor professional. There is very little keeping me from printing up their profiles and taking them to the people in charge, except the knowledge that doing so would probably ruin my career just as much as theirs (who wants to hire a tattle-tail?).

I would put so much more effort into my job if I were in their place, and I would do everything in my power to make sure we put out a quality newscast.

I just want a chance to show that I can :(
