And the new work kicks me in the head.

5.29.2006

So I used to be a faculty-member-turned Traffic Controller. What's the big fuzz?

Nothing--and no one.

You see, I work for the radio station and the public relations office, two (2) units-rolled-into-one. I have one boss though, and she's dual as well. In short, I'm a multi-tasker. Here's a rundown of the things I d0 (--ehem! 'did' is a better, more appropriate word...) in every 'only-God-knows' day: 1.write press releases (that's plural) 2. newscast every top of the hour 3. ask and beg for article submissions for the University publications 4. edit these begged-for articles 5. lay them all out using an Adobe software using my Pentium 2 PC (darn it!) 6. run the 'electronic dummy' to a printing press that even Fred from Flintstone's would find obsolete. 7. circulate the publication to ALL units and offices in the University 8. if there's a special event at school, I solicit donations from outside, give them letters, do a follow-up call, and if Lady Luck isn't procrastinating, I'd pick up a check after a week. 9. host a smorgasboard program on the radio from 5-6pm.

This isn't a crazy schedule yet. This was just my average joe.

Until May 1 this year. After taking in too much stress, my boss called it quits and left me with my previous job--plus her's. The good part? I lost the publication! Somebody wanted the job so bad, they gave it to her! Weeee!

Now, I'm the radio station manager and the traffic controller.

Looks like I didn't get a promotion after all.
