The Daily Life of Holly...

It's been a while since my last post.  I've been crazy busy here at work. I know my 2 readers are dissapointed...  It's 8pm and I am sitting in the control room and I am freezing my tail off - It feels like it's 20 degrees in here.  The morning shift is a whole other story - it's soooo cold in the control room here at the station at 5 am when the show starts.  I usually direct the morning show wrapped up in a very thick blanket!  The morning show is a whole new beast now that Mathis has joined up again.  We do our best to keep him in line (to the best of our ability).  He's a blast to work with - although he is very spontaneous, which as a director keeps me on my toes during the show!  Thanks Mathis.  You are making me a better director!  Well I have to go and work on my rundown for the show!  :)

Man, it is very humbling to take a lesson from a three-year-old.  I was hanging out with my nephews the other day and I was talking to my sister and mention that something was 'stupid' and my three-year-old nephew turned toward me and as serious as can be said, "That's not a nice word.  We don't say that word."  And of course I turned red, felt stupid, and replied, "Your right, I didn't mean to say that." 

Talk a about a lesson.  We all could learn alot from three-year-olds.

Three chances of snow in one week???  "We're not in Kansas anymore Toto!"  Does anybody remember the last time that happened in this area??

So, I went tonight to see the movie '27 Dresses'. I always thought I was just a bridesmaid, never a bride...but this poor girl. The movie was everything I expected it to be. It was sooo funny and I really was able to get in touch with the main character in this one. I myself have been in 5 weddings - 3 in one year - and that feels like alot! Now, I am just waiting for my perfect day where everyone pays attention to and looks at me...wait, that's everyday :) lol

Wow!  We got snow!  Beautiful, beautiful snow.  It was so nice to wake up at 2am this morning to a snow covered parking lot outside of my apt.  It was a little tricky getting into work this morning cause the roads were covered but i made it by 3:30am.  We even did a 4 hour show this morning - that was tough - we already think 3 hours is long and then in the last hour we were told we had 2 hours left!  *insert scream here*  However...all of the management brought us doughnuts and biscuts.  That was really nice.  Even though I hate nasty icy weather - I am hoping for some more snow this season!  Have fun in the snow everyone!

This is my first blog and I gotta say...I've never blogged before.  I work on our morning show, Fox News Rising.  I am the techinal director.  It can be a very stressful job but I love every minute of it.  I will try to keep my blog as up to date as possible.  Have a good week!

My name is Holly. I am the techinal director for Fox News Rising. I have been with Fox Charlotte for 5 years and I love my job. I know some people say that, but i really do love my job. You wouldn't think a shift that starts at 3:30 in the morning would be fun - but we have a blast on the morning show. It's a little rough getting out of bed - but I make it work. Enjoy my blog!
