I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyday is so different.  My coworkers are absolute dolls even though I want to just roll my eyes at their frivilous concerns.  I have to dispatch 2 vehicles and an air unit on top of dealing with on air personalities, computer issues, commercial breaks that last too long, spots that they can’t squeeze into 30 seconds, copies that get lost, scheduling conflicts and WHO THE FUCK TOOK THE LAST CUP OF COFFEE?!

:D The adrenaline that comes from all this is so sexy, it gets me on my feet. I just can’t sit still. I really wonder what a TV producer goes through, sitting behind the scenes with all those screens. The rush from your blood boiling, the urge to throw a chair across the room, over correcting and having back ups for back ups…..My nipples get hard just thinking about it.

This is why I work so well under pressure.
