My new position...

so i started my new poition as wire editor on monday...its A LOT more work but it i am enjoying it...it hasnt taken me very long to learn the program..i use the same program for my Saturday community page....but thats just one page once a week...this new position is anywhere from 2 to 4 pages every morning with a 10 a.m. deadline...i didnt really have a deadline for my Saturday page, just as long as i sent it to the press before i went home on Fridays....
editing and laying out the AP wire pages can be hectic on deadline especially when i also have to pull wire for others, especially when they dont know they need new wire until right before deadline....
i got to work at 7 this morning and worked straight through til 11..and then rght after i ate lunch i already had the page layout for tomorrow..so i alreayed started on it so that i dont have to come in early tomorrow...i was so busy i forgot to eat breakfast and my usual mid-morning snack...which led to me having this big ass headache i just took some excedrin for....

but this new work is fun and exciting...so while i am worn out i am also satisfied...i feel like i am really pitching in with the morning paper...not with just stories and pictures but also with the technical stuff that u dont get to experience at a big paper.....
i know once i get the hang of the program, and all the shortcuts it will be smooth sailing...looking through the AP wire is interesting, all the stories from all over the world..and i get to choose which ones to put in the paper..its a challenge...

well...my work life is feeling good right now..i hadnt been feeling fulfilled with my work situation lately but i think i am on my way to really enjoying work again..now that i am busy the day goes by faster....

i hope i make it to the gym today...

if not i can go home a take a nap and feel good that i am really tired out from work and not just being lazy...
