I finally landed a job that is in one of the fields I wanted greatly to persue – broadcasting! I’ve been under doctors orders not to work at all since my ruptured brain aneurysm back in May, but I havn’t recieved any help whatsoever from our province’s lousy social assistance program with either welfare or disability.

So, this had me in the place of having to perpetually borrow $$ fromj family & friends, even though neither have much to spare, and it’s had me feeling depressed & useless for some time now.

I did what I always suggest to folks that they do when in similar boats – I put word out there to friends that I was looking for work, and lo & behold, my friend Randy, who works in radio, mentioned that his station may be looking for overnight people to do the frequent on air updates of weather & traffic.

Well, I applied, had interviws, and went in for a training session of sorts where they aired me anyway, and now – NOW I HAVE THE JOB!

It ain’t a big position by any means, but it is a great foot in the door to an industry which I’ve worked in on and off (never anything steady!) freelans for years now.

I credit a few things for my current position..

1) Help from a friend!

2) Experience & talent to back me up!

3) PERSERVERANCE & a positive outlook!

So, I’m happy as all get-out now!

YAYY!
