Ok, did y'all see the show last night? The blonde bombshell gets a reality show lesson on being a tv newscaster.  Wow.  I have to admit- parts of the show reminded me of people I have worked with in my 16 years of on-air experience- but gimme a break.  It's funny how many people say they want to be a news reporter because of what they see on the air.  They really don't realize it's just a fraction of our job.  Once they see what goes on behind the scenes, hopefully folks will have a better appreciation of what we do.  And those paychecks?  Let's just say when I worked in a market the size of Tyler, Texas- I made the about the same amount of money I made as a waitress at Darryl's Restaurant in Norfolk. But, I wouldn't change a thing- I really was passionate about the news business and I worked (not flirted) my way up the ladder. ;-)
 I do plan to watch the show again next week- because although it was annoying at times, it  was actually entertaining, too.
