My temporary employment is nearing the end, and I accepted the offer for full-time Technical Director at the station. For those that don’t know, I’ll be in front of the video switcher pushing buttons and making the top-rated newscasts go across Kansas’ airwaves. On the weekends I’ll be fulfilling both the positions of Technical Director and Director. Which means reading the scripts, calling the shots, and pushing the buttons all at the same time. It gets pretty intense. A lot to keep track of at once.
A big plus is that I get to be paid to watch a lot of CBS programming, which I dig, including CBS Sports (quite frankly I HATE NBC Sports shows the most… anyways..).
My schedule is a bit wonky. I’ll be working nights, about 2-ish to 11-ish depending on which day, Wednesday thru Sunday. I get Mondays and Tuesdays off.
The best part of the deal is I finally have a time with paid vacation for the first time since I worked at Starbucks when I was like 20. Hey, 20 was forever ago!
I’m not gonna strike it rich doing this. Wife will always make more money than me, I bet. And I’m fine with that. We’re a great team. And I think this is the best situation we can be in for the new addition to the family. Hey, only 3 half-days of daycare needed. I love saving moolah.
But through all of this, my primary goal is to be happy for the next 5 or so years, supporting my family and living for God. Right now I feel this is that best possible situation to be in. And that, my friends, is worth more than anything in the world.
Reblogging because my husband is amazing and this post made me tear up a bit. I’m really excited for his new opportunity. We’ve lived together through some shitty jobs, I have to say. His last being by far the worst, not because of what he was doing, but because of who he was doing it for, quite honestly. And the fact that he finally gets recognized for his hardwork by being handed benefits (from a legit HR department) is pretty rad. And the fact that he gets to do all this while still being able to spend a ton of time with our daughter is even more rad.
I love our little life. It’s filled with huge blessings.
