New News

So it's been awhile since I last updated either of my blogs but I'm happy to say that my picture blog has been updated and I'll do better at it. For awhile I didn't take pictures and then I started taking pics but then I didn't upload them and now I have.

In other news, those of you that know me well know that I've worked for FOX 13 for the last 2 1/2-3 years and it's just been part time. I've had other jobs that were full time while still working FOX so really I've had two jobs for the last 3 years. Oh how my heart did swell and my joy runs over that I can now say I work for FOX full time!

I'm in master control. Simply put I'm the 'DJ' for the station. I make sure all the commercials we get paid for air when they're supposed too. I also make sure news and prime time start on time. It can be stressful during live events like American Idol or any sporting event. Why would it be stressful you ask? Because if I mess up on just a 2 min break and the commercials don't play it could be thousands of dollars out the window that we have no way of getting back. No mess ups yet. (cause I'm awesome)

These are two pictures of my work area. As you can see there is a lot of things I monitor at once. Multitasking is key.




I am still working the Hilton but I've reduced my hours and if I start to get to burned out then we'll go from there. The major thing I hate most about working two jobs is that I don't get to spend very much time with my wife. The days we would have the most time is Saturday and Sunday morning but I'm still doing audio at FOX until they find my replacement. So that gives us a total of 3 hours each day that I'm not at work or traveling to work.(not counting sleep time at night) It's lame. But I look forward to when my only job is master control.

I have to say thanks to my wonderful wife. She supports me in all that I want to do. She's the best and I'm lucky to have her.

Tomorrow is Les Mis, and then next week is Phantom in Vegas in celebration of our 1 year anniversary. More posts and pics will follow.
