Here I go again...

Well, this is it. Tomorrow is officially my last day at ION... The who? What's that? Haha... I can't say I will miss being quizzed either. Just one year and four months after Brad left the company - I'm also moving on to better things. It's not that the company is all that bad: the problem is, after learning all aspects of the business you realize you have nowhere to go within the station. It literally becomes a waiting game to advance in the field. I want to move up while I'm still somewhat young and motivated. Even my own engineer admitted it would be best to work in several markets under different job categories, before reaping the benefit of working in broadcast media. So all day today, I'm called a "traitor"! But damn, I'm scared too - I mean, I'm leaving a "family" to become someone else's "step-child". I can only hope I'm as valued at the new company, as Brad and I were working at ION. Having seniority had its perks, but when boredom sets in - it's time for a new beginning. I got off the phone with Brad about an hour or so ago, and I asked if he would have interest working in television. If so, maybe he and I could commute to FSN together! Come on Brad, it could save us on gas!

Ah, it's like going a year and four months back in time! I particularly like the labels on the article! Suicide? - A little dark, but brought the humor so much more. Don't worry about Alex, he's telling you what he is really telling you. I don't think he likes working there! Something must be good, the pay - or something.

Anywho, best of luck to you and we will get together. I miss hanging out like we did back in the days. Sometime soon we won't have to say back in the days so much. Anyw ho, fuck yeah, you're outta there!
