I've been in a progressively bad mood all week leading up to today, because in the back of my mind, I knew a 12 hour shift of producing 4 hours of news by myself was how it was all going to end. It's just one more notch in the "not AT ALL what I expected this job to be" bedpost of this career move bed I'm apparently handcuffed to. Okay, that's a bit drama queen-esque, but the more I think about the more fired up I get...
Anyway, I came into work with a dark cloud over my head, but it started to blow away because of my fabulous coworkers! There truly is something special in unifying over a similar plight...in this case, the unfortunate inner-workings of a certain work place. It seems we've all been screwed over or lied to at some point and to be able to vent to those who can sympathize is truly cathartic. A bitch session, followed by some crafty producing, during which I had some lovely help by a cheerful companion, some more bitching, a tasty coffee drink surprise during my 4 hours in the booth, and then even MORE bitching and I ended my Friday in a light-hearted mood and with a smile on my face.
So thanks, my fellow miserable cohorts, for making it bearable. If I didn't know you'd all be there to share in my pain, I'm not quite sure I'd walk out the front door every day. It's been hard to look on the bright side lately, but you're providing a lovely beam of flashlight through the gloom. :)
