TV Reporter for HIRE

I have now applied for 14 jobs across the state, plus, ones in Alabama, Florida and Arkansas over the past two weeks. I am not stopping there. I check every station in Texas every other day hoping to find a new opening. I hope that with my year and a half experience in the newsroom I don't have to compete with all the fresh college grads with zero experience. But there's only so many jobs out there with the economy the way it is and so many young people like who just want to be on TV reporting the news. So, who knows? But I have dedicated the next three months to getting my next on-air job - whatever it takes.

So if you know anyone in a small or smaller mid-sized market - tell them about me. Email them my resume (I'll email you a copy). Spread the word. Everyone who knows me knows I should be back where I belong - reporting and anchoring local TV news. I'll move anywhere, but I don't like cold weather much. But, hey, I'm ready for an adventure and if that means conquering my fear of cold - then, I'm willing and able!

Happy Juneteenth!
Today, marks the historic day that Texan slaves were finally freed - two and a half years late. See this article for the dets (short for details). Pretty interesting stuff and a little controversial. However, Juneteenth is a state holiday and only skeleton crews have to work. I am only in the office to make sure nothing crazy happens, and if it doesn't (and it won't) I'll be home for lunch. Plus, I get a few hours to take off whenever I want. I'll sure miss this part of working for the state.

I hope you have a great weekend - Don't forget to call daddy on Sunday for Father's Day. You should've sent a card!!! I sent my daddy the book He's Just Not That Into You because that's what he wanted. I asked if he was joking and he said, "nope". So, that's what he'll be getting in the mail. And I sent him a really sweet daughter/father card. He does so much for me. He deserves his own blog entry devoted to his dedication. That was some awesome aliteration, right?

Happy Father's Day, Daddy! I love you!!! Now, please get one of your colleagues to hire me, OK?
