Im back!

I think it's safe to say I am NOT a great "blooger". I know "bloggers" are supposed to be creating new content all the time, but I am producing, writing, anchoring and being a news director everyday so having the time to write a blog on a daily basis is a bit much. But, I figure this may be some good therapy for me and I'm sure it's amusing to many...
I have been here in this small market on the coast for over 8 months now, and boy have I seen a lot. First, the biggest shocker for me is how much people really don't care about the product here. If it gets on air, its considered good... I can't tell you how many times I have said, "you thought that was good?"... There have been circumstances where I have been embarrased. I have learned through life that you can do a lot with very little, as long as you have the passion and the drive. But here's the problem when having that passion and drive... The people that have been "just doing the job" and not caring for 25 years think you are a pushy bitch. When really, you are just a 30 year old woman who has worked in 4 markets and know how to make things happen. But, in the long run, when your news gets better and better and the community responds with great feedback, its easy just to sit back and smile.
