Salinas, CA - Night 1

Hey all,

So I am here in California. We finally arrived in Salinas after a very long 16 hour drive. I thought the drive would never end. We didn't get into town early enough for me to get into my new place, so me and dad had to check into a hotel. So now you are probably wondering, Why am I blogging so late at night after a long and tiring drive. It's very simple. My dad snores. And when I say that, I mean it. From what I am hearing, it sounds like it may be more than your garden variety snoring. I think he has sleep apnea. As a result, there is no way I will be able to fall asleep, at least not anytime soon.

I met a girl on eHarmony. She seems really nice. She loves Hawaii which is a huge bonus because so do I. I haven't really asked her about her movie tastes yet as we have only exchanged a couple of emails since she got back from Hawaii, but all in good time.

As for on my transition front, I haven't really been able to put a lot of time and or thought into it lately. It is obviously something I need to think about, I have just been very busy. I plan on thinking more about this in the future when I get more settled (and hopefully when I can get sleep without the sounds of a freight train in my bedroom)

As for the new job, I am curious to see what kind of new challenges it will present to me. The traditional newscast director does just that... directs the newscast. However, with an unconventional station, comes an unconventional setup. Before the live broadcasts, I will be editing and also potentially shooting video for the newscast. I hope that eventually I will be able to move up the ladder enough at this station that I won't have to do that, or at the very least, I can find work after the 2 years in salinas. Not that I don't like editing or shooting. If I didn't like it, I wouldn't have been at my last job for 2 years. I just like to concentrate on one area.

Anyway, I should probably try and get some sleep. Not like I expect it to happen, but might as well, right.
