Christmas Rush
But, I have no date and I have no time. I will be on the air tomorrow, of course, so I would have to rush to get over there and I know I would be thinking about all the things that need to be done and I wouldn't enjoy it like I'd like to.
And it isn't just the show. I've talked to friends that work for schools and they are through for the winter break and they are baking cookies and shopping and wrapping presents and enjoying this down time.
Me? I'm already panicking at how much work has to be done before I can leave the station on Thursday night for three days. My co-worker is taking off tomorrow through next week sometime and I know he is going to leave things undone... he always does.
We had the client Christmas party downtown. It was nice, but none of the clients that I really like (oh, there were a couple) and that really strange singer/songwriter/photographer was there lurking. I don't know why he there... he just creeps me out a lot. I want to just say to him "Please don't come near me. Don't speak to me. Don't reach for my hand and DON'T YOU DARE HUG ME!" Ick.
Today I broadcast at the park. My voice is not up to it, really, and I had a dear listener nice enough to call yesterday and tell me how awful I sounded. Thank you for your support, asshole. But, I have a good producer and engineer working with me and I will manage. And there will be lots of downtime while I'm there and I hope I can get a lot of work done on my laptop while I'm there not being bothered.
