Oh Happy Day!

[JK]

Yesterday morning I was severely depressed, having sent out some 20-odd resumes and only receiving one reply. That's depressing in itself, but the fact that the rejection came from UPN just compounded my feelings of dejection. I was seriously considering introducing my car to a concrete bridge abbuttment a la Tommy Boy, but then, like a ray of sunshine- the phone rang! Turner Broadcasting is hiring ten operators for their state-of-the-art facility in Atlanta and I'm on their list. I interview next week and will know something before the end of the month.

Plasma screen HDTV monitors, digital touch-screen switchers, routers that actually work like they're supposed to, automated downlink servers, and more than double the salary I'm making now...

I can't wait to tell my boss /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

Oh, and one of the networks I'd be switching?

Cartoon Network...

See mom, I CAN get paid to watch cartoons!!!

Oooh I love that feelin' ! But be careful not to burn the bridge until after you've crossed it.

[JK]

They already know I'm looking. Hell, everyone is looking. Employees who've put in 20+ years are leaving.

Rats from a sinking ship... When the News Director is running the art department and the first-time GM thinks he knows everything about promotions and the Sales Manager calls master control about putting the Namedropper/bug in during local programming, it's time to leave. And as long as I give two weeks and don't leave before they're up, I get to cash out my vacation time. Six years service = three weeks! Oh, and a personal day...

Just waiting for that other call...

[JIM]

Wow, hope You get that job!
Plus, paid vacation money... WOO-HOO!
So, if You do, what are You going to buy?
Something fun? Something sensible?
Both?
Good luck!

[Threadkiller]

Yeah, good luck. I'm sure you deserve it. It's time the Master Controllers got the respect that fits with the cool job title.

[JK]

Thanks guys. My girl has got her fingers crossed as well- she's always wanted to move out of the sticks into the big city. As far as spending that fat vacation cash, it'll more than likely go towards a U-Haul... That's about the only downside to this- Turner doesn't pay anything for relocation. But I guess in a way the cash is going towards more respect. Man I can't wait! My final interview is the 22nd.

I just realized, that's the Chinese New Year... I'm not Chinese, but hey, we Irish are firm believers in omens.

[Dave]

Good luck my man! Hope you get the job.
Have fun in that Hot'lanta traffic, when you get out there.
