Exciting times

Five weeks and one day left till my contract runs out. Great huh? But I’m beginning to be slightly more optimistic than I was after I left that depressing course I went on. Jeez, I’m still amazed at how depressing that actually was. But two very exciting things happened this week which have made me feel excited and in a good mood.

The first thing was that I had a meeting with the people at my favourite radio station. I was a little nervous. I was big for me to be there and perhaps I met some of the DJs? I didn’t meet any, but I met the reducers on one of my favourite shows, which was pretty cool. The girl said she recognized me from the bus and I was told a few funny facts about the presenter on that show. Sadly, no work was offered, but I think they wanted me there since I have a great knowledge and passion for the station. However, there will be opportunities for me to sit in on a few shows which will be fantastic! And as long as I manage to find something else in this organization, I can always apply for position at that station when they come up.

Another, perhaps more exciting thing happened to me yesterday morning. The news editor of the international output of where I work rang me and said they needed a multi media researcher. He explained the role and he wasn’t put off about the fact I haven’t worked much in news. He started to talk about what kind of contract he could offer me and could I please come down and sit with the team for a bit so he could get an idea of me as a person and how I’d fit in? I was very delighted. It does seem like I have the next job already, but I still need to prove myself, so I’m not keeping my hopes up in case I get disappointed. If I get that job, a lot of you my readers, as well as a lot of people around the world, will get online to see news I have published! That’s so cool.

Next week, I’ll work with children’s radio for three days. I’ll spend one day writing stories, one day writing scripts and one day in the studio. I’m really looking forward to it, so work wise, Angel’s a busy bee.

Socially, my life is OK. Think I said in my last post that I wouldn’t mind meeting someone again. However, I think I’ve grown with regards to who I’m dating and my approach. Boys with one track minds, no longer attract me, even though my sex drive’s the same as always. It’s just so annoying when they go on about, “So, you say you’ve been busy, the question is, busy doing what?” and I know they’re talking about sex.

Gonna have a quiet Friday evening, but have plans to hook up with some mates Saturday and Sunday.
