Exhausted and happy

My job is so fulfilling.

Today we all got free pizza for our hard work covering the Linda Schrenko trial. Later, I was told that the E-Alert I sent out concerning Schrenko's plea bargain had made it out five minutes before the Chronicle sent theirs.

Do I rock, or do I rock?

It is so much fun working in the news.

And I love my position, because I have powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men--err, you know, I run the website. I get to use what my boss calls my "expertise". I'm not autonomous--I have to run changes past her--but typically my ideas are very well-received, and I'm free to implement them.

Our Schrenko reporter has showered me with praise lately, too.

I hardly notice when I work through lunch or stay late, because I'm good at what I do and I enjoy doing it.

It's great. :)

Do you have to wear a suit?

Heather Meadows said...

Nope! ;D

I wear decent-looking slacks (and sometimes skirts) and nice blouses Monday through Thursday. On Friday we're allowed to wear jeans and T-shirts.

Of course, this doesn't apply to the poor on-air talent, who have to dress up at all times.

Heather Meadows, happy with a job?

Wicked Awesome! I knew it could happen and I'm happy it finally did.

Way to go you!
