In just a few minutes from now, I'll be sitting down with a television consultant from our station's corporate offices. This will be the first time I'll be critiqued by someone outside of the newsroom. I'm kinda nervous, but hopefully I can get some great suggestions on what I can do to improve. Wish me luck, I'm heading off!

Lucky Lunches
Sometimes hard work really pays off...and apparently it can even quell your appetite at times.
Lately, my days at work have been long. I'm more than willing to put in the hours b/c this is what I want to do, but lately it's been wearing on me a bit. I think it's primarily due to me trying to fight off this demon-cold that's been at war with my immune system the past four days.
I've been covering stories all over the spectrum so far during my tenure at KRCR. From deadly motorcycle accidents to computer-controlled prosthetic limbs, to the absurd amount of coffee shops in Redding to highest unemployment rate in Shasta County in nearly a decade (10%). I've had a chance to cover a wide variety of topics, and today, was a much "fluffier" story.
A coffee-shop established and run by a local church is now expanding to a second coffee house. I talked with the G.M. today about the news and the accompanying details. It was an easy story to do-shot some video and an interview, wrote/edited the story-but I didn't think it would turn out the way it did.
I had a nice conversation with the general manager, a woman by the name of Kerri, and while I was just finishing my work for the day at the station, she took the time to actually stop by the station to drop me off a free salad and coffee.
My parents would always tell me as a child how good vegetables were, and I never believed them. Today, I know what they were trying to get at. Jeez louise, this thing was probably the best salad I've ever had in my life...and it was free to boot!
It is true...what they say...doing something you enjoy for a living really can be "fulfilling."
