Paying My Dues

Mood:

Contemplative

Listening/Watching:



So Monday I have an interview for a part-time desk assistant position at a local T.V. station. As the desk assistant I'd work the desk from 4:00am to 8:30am three days a week. I'd then run the desk Saturday and Sunday's from 3:00pm to 11:30pm. There goes my already non-existent social life.

It's amazing to me how many reporters and anchors started their careers off this way. Shoot some producers worked overnights when they first got into the business. I have no problem with paying my dues. The only thing about this prospective gig is that I don't have a car. I therefore have no clue how in the hell I'd get to work on those mornings. Maybe a cab, but then I get to hoping that they pay me enough to offset the cost of that.

Ok but maybe I'm jumping ahead of myself. I don't even have the job yet. But I like to be the man with the plan. The whole things spring up thing is not for me.

So here's hoping I have something figured out before my interview on Monday.
