Career Change- GOOD!

Elections night 2008, I was running an in-house camera, from the media platform, for the Democratic Party’s Election bash. My job was to project a big picture on a screen so the thousands in attendance could see who was speaking at the podium. Being a former “newsie” I did get to see some old buddies from my news station days. It was really, really nice to see them again. However, I know for sure, I don’t miss the job, or the windowless environment, deadlines, competition, questionable ethics, “The Book” (a.k.a. “ratings” which happen four times a year, when all your fav shows are no longer re-runs), and some other stuff.








Anyway, the evening was emotional, my right hand got badly squished by a 32” TV that, no joke, weighs more then I do (and I’m 5’10”, yep it was a big @$$ TV!), and the anxiety of the evening was almost too much for me to handle. All of it reassured me that I made a good move.

Being in a kitchen, creating yummy things that put joyful expressions on beautiful faces is where I need to be. *Sigh*
