This week, I'm dreaming of Friday. Normally, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are days to be a little more relaxed and start working on stories for next week. This week, we had the business paper to put out (going to press on Monday, and if you're in the county pick up your free copy of the East Nova Business Report!). Initially, it didn't seem like it was going to be that much more work. But, after putting out this week's Journal, I had trouble keeping up my momentum. And now, I can almost taste Friday afternoon, where I'll probably do the same thing I'm doing now--hang out on the computer, talk to friends and catch up on work--but know that I'll be able to sleep through most of Saturday. Amazingly, there's nothing going on around here this weekend--yet. So, other than working on a few stories I'm off the hook.
Next week will feel like a huge relief! To celebrate almost hitting the one month mark, I'm going to take Friday off and head to Halifax to take care of some of this graduation stuff and see my boy and bunny. I'm very excited:)
Thanks to this week, we can add being lost in Sherbrooke to my list. Luckily, I'm soon going to have hit all the regular meetings, so I'll start only getting lost when new things are happening. It's very exciting. I may even wash my car in celebration--well, probably not.
I feel like maybe I'm starting to get the hang of all this--and so will offer my evaluation of the monthly meetings. Canso has the best entertainment value, Sherbrooke the best food with Guysborough coming in second. Mulgrave and Guysborough are tied for quickness and efficiency. And the schoolboard...well, we're just not going to go there. They don't even feed us poor media folks! And we do appreciate being fed. We're still talking about the cheesecake from the Strait luncheon (lemon and chocolate with melon on the side--it was fabulous!). Turns out we're an industry of eat on the go people with weird schedules, and there's no fastfood in Guysborough County. So, we're happy to take what we can get!
This was perhaps not my most intelligent analysis of my new job, but in the last two days my media counterparts and I have been discussing food rather than the Keltic decision, Melford, or any other big news stories. Obviously, I'm not the only one in a mid-week slump.
