These first days back on the job after being sick have been tiring. The database went live as of yesterday. Good news is that it works. The other part of the story is getting everyone comfortable with it. The learning curve is out of control, so it will take a while for the dust to settle. Other projects rage on. Little by little, Jim and I are getting there. You have to figure that if you work at it long enough, things should come together. Still, if I had more hours in the day and never had to sleep, that would be pretty damn cool.
Another promotion is looming on the horizon. As of next week, I will have been working at these stations for a year. That in itself is a pretty neat milestone. I always told myself that after leaving KRUI, I would love to work somewhere in the world of NPR. Well, here I am. This promotion would lock me in for as long as I can see into the future. Radio is what I love to do, and this is a great town to keep doing it in. It might take a month or six, but benefits… Yeah, benefits.
And another broadcast engineer bites the dust. Actually, he’s alive, but his right knee is pretty twisted. Seems that Ed took a fall off of a ladder while helping his brother over the weekend. He is the main man when it comes to TV transmitters for IPTV. With his leg in a brace, he’s a bit more like a pirate. Get well wishes to Ed.
