Broadway is a street a few blocks to the west of the street I live on, which is Joplin. But I don’t live in Joplin. I live in Pittsburg, Kansas; going on my third week now. At this point, I still feel like I’m in a much smaller town than Springfield that doesn’t have nearly as much going on. I’ll probably warm up to it with time, at this point I’m spending all my time between my 9-10 hour shifts and sleeping working out or watching “Scrubs” on DVD.
The producing job is going more smoothly than anticipated. I’ve solo-produced a couple of weeks now, with only minor errors. But I know at some point, as live television gods dictate, something will go wrong and I’ll have to think on my feet and deal with the curve ball. When that day comes, I hope I have plenty of caffeine in my system.
Being out of college is only a little different than I expected. It’s relieving to only have to focus on one job and being as perfect as I can at it. At the same time, I’m driving to the same place five times a week, putting in the hours and coming home exhausted. But I’m optimistic about the future as I continue to get accustomed to the sleep schedule. As the days go by, I won’t have to come in as early and leave as late and my body will make the adjustments and get used to not as much sunlight. Hopefully the weekend will take care of that.
