Finally getting back to normal...

Well I've got my blood pressure down, and all those who were "nit-picking" for the sake of "nit-picking" have found something else to complain about, my work life is getting back to normal. I re-launched two TV station websites...something I'll never do again! This has been one hell of a process to deal with. I'm just glad it's over with and most everything is right with the world.

Well, I'm headed up to my other station in Mason City, Iowa to train folks up there on the new site. It should be interesting, because I'm driving! Why you ask? I hate flying smaller plane (those that hold 50 or less) that much. I was going to drive to Memphis and fly to Minneapolis, but the ticket prices were more than double! So, I'm leaving out a day early and will make a stop in Cape Girardeau, Missouri to sleep, then start back the next morning. I really don't think the trip is going to be as long as the map says...because I don't drive very slow, and I'm good at finding shortcuts... We'll see.

The road trip away from here will be nice, which is the other reason I'm driving...just to get a taste of different scenery and try to enjoy my trip. It's only the third business trip I've been on not hurricane related.

I'll will post here if anything interesting happens... I'm thinking I'm going to be relatively bored on a few occasions while I'm up there, so I may blog anyway. Stay tuned! ;)

Enjoy some celebrity Jeopardy from Saturday Night Live...

The oven is fast enough for me, thank you...

I'm beginning to think I'm starting to lose my memory. I did a myspace search on my old high school and my graduating class...and there are some people listed, who still live in the general area, who I can't remember. Maybe the names and faces just aren't matching, because when I was in high school...I was a bean pole...I weighed all of 168 pounds...and didn't break 200 till around 2001 or 2002, so I'm thinking some folks just look a bit different from what they did back in 1998.

I don't know...I always considered my memory to be pretty sharp, but maybe my working in the news business has screwed it up! I do have trouble remembering various news stories day to day. There are names of people I worked with back in my retail days that I can't quite remember anymore...

Anyway, on the job front, it looks like both my sites will be re-launched maybe late this week. I began saving video and pictures in the new system today...and have access to both sites, so it looks like things will be working pretty soon.

Now, as long as I can get through this week without any more severe weather, this week should go pretty well. I was actually bored today, which almost never happens anymore while I'm at work.
