So, I had the best day at work yesterday.
My co-workers voted me "employee of the month"-how awesome. The people I work with are so neat. To make it even better, Ben Tracy (former employee/now CBS news correspondant) taped a "congrats' message for me to open the meeting.
Wow. I am blessed to be surrounded by such awesome people. I have never worked somewhere where everyone is genuinely NICE. And I mean...EVERYONE.
My boss' introduction nearly brought me to tears-which is crazy, considering I've only been there a few years. I was actually shocked to be chosen-since I'm such a newbie...so many people deserved it much more than i did.
Accepting the award...I told a story.
About a 21 year old girl...working in market 150 something...wanting to get out so badly. You see, I almost quit TV 6 years ago to become a teacher...and then I saw a WCCO promo on a CBS swap reel-and I thought, "I want to meet those people, and find out what makes them tick...if I can do spots like that, and stay in TV...I'm in." Wow.
A few years later-I'm living my dream. Working at WCCO...directing shoots, editing, producing, and working with some of the best creative minds in the biz. I am so grateful. I still have so much to learn from them...but this week, I am so glad to know they think I'm doing a pretty good job, as well.
So, for all of you young producers out there...tough it out. Live your dream. Work hard-you will get there, and when you do-it will be worth it.
