This is the part of the year when I normally go on a rant about how much I don't like Valentine's Day. Truth be told, I'm a bit too tired to rant. If you want to know what I think of this pretty horrible Hallmark Holiday, check my archives.
Needless to say, I still don't care too much for this crap. At least this year I spent my evening with a friend and we had a good time. So, this year's V Day is a bit better than normal. (It still sucks that I don't have a girlfriend, but I have other matters to attend to right now)
So far on my first week doing the Production Director job solo, I've done a fairly OK job. I've tried to do it to the best of my ability and I think it's gone OK.
My boss talked to me about trying to fix my voice so I don't sound like a robot in the spots that I voice. I think I've fixed that. What kinda sucks is that I do have this slight problem with my voice where I sound like a kid with a speech impediment. Like, my tongue is too big or something and when I try to say certain sounds, it comes out weird. I'm sure if you've heard me talk, you've noticed it and not said anything because you're nice and don't want to hurt my feelings. (But, I'm working on that.)
Otherwise, things are going good. I have my formal interview tomorrow for the permanent job. If that goes well, I'm about 90% confident they'll offer me the job. Since hiring from within the company is usually better and they all know me pretty well (and all seem to like me I'd say), I think I'll get the job.
Good benefits, decent pay, and a set number of hours will be a HUGE improvement on being unemployed... or having to go back to Beefs where there are NO benefits, lamer pay, and hours that suck ass.
The only slight downside is that I won't have my part-time on-air shift on weekends. Even though that sucks because that's what I ultimately want to do in this business, the upside is that I won't have to work seven days a week like I am right now.
Let's just hope my interview goes well tomorrow. I'm sure it will, but keep me in your thoughts either way. I'd appreciate it.

this is going to sound really dumb...but it worked for me.
you have to learn to talk with the tip of your tongue.
how do you do it? i don't really know. a year in speech therapy when i was 9 fixed me lol.
just being aware that you do sound like that when you talk though will make it easier though.
good luck on your interview!
You do realize that having a big tongue is a good thing, right?
