Monday, September 17, 2001I haven't really felt like blogging lately. Last night I finally got to talk to Joel. It felt so good to hear his voice and to listen to him. I've been pretty upset lately because my mom's health hasn't improved and the doctors still haven't found out what she has. Because of the tragic events that have taken place I felt the need to tell Joel how much I care about him and he said the same to me. I wish I could talk to him every night but I would have one outragous phone bill.Today was a busy day at the newspaper, as most Mondays are for my area. My big ad project was such a pain and I thought I would never get the layout to look just right. I'm still new at doing their ad and they changed the dang layout again this week. Oh well, at least I don't have to worry about it again until next Monday. On Friday, I got to learn how to update the newspaper website! That was fun, it was so easy but it takes so long to do it. No HTML though, just plugging stuff into a template and uploading it. IAFF - International Association of Fire Fighters
Link via LadyNova's Place. Thank you! :) I heard about it on my way to work. I was listening to some music on my long drive and then the news came on. My jaw dropped, and I couldn't hardly believe my ears. It was just one of those terrible events so horrible that you don't want to believe that it is true.
I walked into the newspaper office and there sat everyone in front of the TV. I sat watched the new in disbelief. My heart ached for all those there and to the rescue workers. I don't know how many people know that read my blog but I am a volunteer fire fighter and I also work with a group of rescue works called First Responders that assist ambulances on emergency calls. I instantly felt so bad for the rescue workers in New York. Because I know they will risk everything to help others and on my way home I heard that about one in five people taken to the hospital was a fire fighter, rescue worker, etc...
My brother called a few minutes to go to say that everyone is going crazy in town. Cars are lined up and down the street just to gas up since "they" are saying that gas might go up to $5 a gallon. Umm, if it goes up that high I don't see me keeping my job since I have to drive out of town to it and I use about a fourth of a tank of gas everyday just to go there and back.
I hope that they find the terrorists behind this awful mess.
Today I had to do my big weekly advertisement. From the beginning I was told that this grocerey store was easy to work with and they never change layouts. Well guess what?!? They wanted to change the layout today. I did a great job last week and when I seen the picture of what they drew up and how they wanted the ad I just wanted to go home so bad, but I got it done and it looked pretty good to me. So I guess I will find out Monday if I have to make any changes. If everything works out tomorrow, I should be learning how to update the newspaper website. I am so excited! This is going to be a great experience, although I don't think its going be any big deal because its all typing and they go through some company who has a template done but I'm still excited.
I really love this job but I don't see myself staying there forever. I would really like to stay there and even move to that town but I don't think I will be able to but who knows. I can see myself working at a bigger newspaper one day. I need to find one that gives really great pay and benefits! lol ;)
I miss Joel and I feel like talking to him tonight but I probably shouldn't call him. My phone bill is going to so bad and I want to talk to him this weekend too. Maybe he will call me, hopefully he will. :) |
