Radio daze

figmoToday we had a storm. This made my shift at the radio station a bit on the adrenal side. The morning anchor had the flu and asked if I'd take over the air early; I had no problem with this.
Since my stomach was okay this week, I had no problem keeping on top of everything. The station owner/GM even called to tell me he liked what I was doing and to keep it up! That almost never happens in broadcasting; usually you only hear about it when you're doing something they don't like.
The Saturday morning anchor later asked for our boss's cell phone # because she wanted to call in sick for her Monday shift where she's filling in. I offered to take it. Tomorrow I need to call him to see if I'm filling in or if he's doing without. I need the money.
If I'm not filling in, I'm doing every possible medical appointment I can.
After work I went looking for a new winter raincoat. I zeroed out; the stores had largely been picked over. I found one I liked at REI but it's $230. I'm trying to find something a little less pricey. I need a water resistant parka that will fit around my hips and cover my blazers and that has a hood and zippered pockets.

Browse through, there are a couple more parkas on sale for under $100.
I happened to be looking for something similar tonight.
I'm really sorry about your job, Lynn. I hope something comes through for you soon.

Date: 2002-12-29 06:34 am (UTC)I saw stuff on REI online I didn't see in the stores.
My one hesitation in buying online is I need to find a jacket long enough for my blazers to fit underneath. I have been wearing blazers when I try them on, and alas, with too many of the jackets my blazer hangs out underneath.
I'm going to be going to interviews, and it looks really sloppy if your blazer hangs out underneath your raincoat (not to mention having a soggy-bottomed blazer), and I can't justify having two raincoats (one for job interviews, one for everything else) given my tight finances.

I'm not willing to pay for something that isn't well made.
