[ music | Smashing Pumpkins – “Here’s To The Atom Bomb” ]

I’m realizing now that I’m looking back on journal entries that I’ve been listening a lot to the Pumpkins lately… which is kinda weird, because I had kinda written them off… I guess they’re kinda like an old friend for me… disappearing for a while, and then returning to brighten your day. Weird.

So that last post was a little confusing… as if I never got into the office that day… just sat in reception. That’s not the case… the timestamp on that entry was goofy…

Anyway, I finally found someone at the office to let me in. We ran around for a while introducing me to everyone… I’m so bad at remembering names, but now that I’ve been there for a few days I think I’m catching on. So I do have an office – which is pretty sweet. I finally got a phone two days in, but I still don’t have a computer yet… which makes it kinda hard to do your job when you’re the online producer… alas. Been in meetings most of the week getting caught up on what’s going on. I basically walked into a massive relaunch scheduled for April 1st. Agh. A little overwhelming at first, but it’s all starting to become clear. It’s easier to adjust since I worked for the same parent company forever… But what’s really great there, is that there’s no real distinction between online & on-air, like there is at most TV networks. The entire network is on one floor. Everyone goes to the meetings… You don’t have to fight to get online mentions on-air and vice-versa… it really works well. They have that part nailed.

Everyone I’ve met so far seems really cool. No bad vibes at all. Only downer is that I’ve been sick all week. Finally went to the doc this morning and he gave me some drugs. So looks like I’ll be chillin in my apartment all weekend, encased in snow and popping pills. Fun. So tired. Going to bed.
