Blah...

I need some excitement... I don't think I'll go as far as fly somewhere...but I'd get a kick out of it if I did. This is all probably due to the fact that I was FRAZZLED by Friday of last week and, for the first time in a while, was LOOKING FORWARD to Friday ending. I feel better now...and am ready to get back to it.

I had some "suits" to deal with last week. My first time dealing with people from Richmond on my own turf, but I think it went pretty dog-gone well. They got to see me do a lot of different things, and helping out other websites that I don't normally do (in this case...it was breaking news). I'm glad they're gone...I couldn't deal with more "ideas" on how to make that site better. I have plenty of ideas...getting them implemented is a whole different story. There will probably be a few considerable changes to the site this week... I've gotten a few things done and still waiting on approval for a few others.

I'm finding myself getting more competitive about this job...and the fact that I'm trying to stay ahead of sister-stations! I've noticed ever since I began posting a video forecast on my site, other stations have followed suit (yeah, thanks...no I don't mind...it was my idea and all...I know you're copying...I was scanning every website for a few weeks before getting THAT little video forecast going). It doesn't matter...the sales management can't get enough of me right now...which means I can get them to sell the site more...thus getting me a raise soon. If I said I was leaving, I think a few of them might cry! I'm pleased that I've made a few friends along the way now...

I started eating at a favorite old restaurant a few weeks ago. I was dismayed when things went bad there...but they're very much on the up and up... My friends and I are rather pleased by this...because it was always our favorite place to eat and get hammered. I haven't gotten "hammered" in a while...maybe that's what I need?? ;)

I'm going to decorate the outside of the house at the end of next week (after Thanksgiving). I haven't done it in a while...look out, I'll have to post some pics of "Nix Airport!" Lets see how many fuses I can blow this year (my record is about 12...but who's counting??). ;)

I can't get those damned orange/chocolate chip cookies from Ireland out of my mind!! I think I need to go pick-up a few bags!
