I just wanna say, I love the company I work for. We have lots o' fun, and we bond and socialize outside of work. Today we kicked off our grilling season. It was something I've been looking forward to for 2 months now. And I found out that I might be related to one of my co-workers.

But before that...
My maternal grandmother's side of the family had our first real family reunion. I got there kinda late b/c I was working on my church's conference, but I got there just in time to meet relatives I never knew existed.

A funny thing that happened though...3 of my cousins go to the same college, but only 2 knew each other. But everyone would always ask one of them and the one none of us knew if they were related b/c they look soooooooo much alike, but they would always say no. Well...turns out they are actually related.

I got pictures of everyone, and hopefully when we have our next reunion, we can add those pictures to the next family book.

I'll post one of me with 2 of my favorite cousins when I get home.


Annnnnnndddd.....
This conference is wearing me out. That's exactly what the person over the media ministry said today. The preparation wears you out and the work during the actual conference will kill you. He said it will either make or break you and will let you know if you truly love God and are willing to work. But I think it'll be well worth it. So many people are excited about this conference. Not just at our church, not just in this city, but alllllll across the country. And since I'm right smack dab in the middle of this thing, I won't have the time, energy or money to really look for jobs and send tapes out. I'll only be applying for jobs at stations that I'm really, really, really interested in working at, as opposed to just trying to get a job anywhere. So, wish me luck!

Ciao mi gente!!!!!!

Okay.

Sooo......I didn't report back immediately after my follow-up call. But I think you can figure out by now, I didn't get the job. Although, he is the only news director that, other than during a critique session, has given me feedback.

But now, I have joined the media ministry at my church and since we're moving back into television, the people that are over the media ministry have been asking for my advice and help. And we also have a conference coming up, so I need to be there as much as possible, since that will also be televised on Daystar, and also afterwards when we move into selling DVD's of the services; training people on the cameras and editing and graphics and all that good stuff. So for now, I'm only going to apply for jobs at stations/markets I'd really, really, truly, really would want to go to.

Also, at my job, I have had to train new P.A's, so that has taken up much of my time as well.

But, for your viewing pleasure.
