I am looking to get OUT of fast food.  I can't stand it anymore.  I'm going job hunting tomorrow.  I will probably apply at Farm and Fleet (a store with tires, pet food, and outdoor supplies), Wal Mart, or Panera Bread (a coffe-like shop).  I NEED to get out of the place I'm at now, or i will have NO summer, what-so-ever, and I will hate it.

OMG, you guys have panera out there too? I thought it was only in san antonio...i plan on applying there too

my job hunt will probably begin today as well.

Apparently Eboni Deon has been trained on the HD studio as a fill-in; she's filling in for Nicole today. The other possibility is that she's not trained for it; we'll see if she purposely stays away from the projector wall today.

I could've sworn I heard Nicole sounding a little raspy yesterday. If so, this has to be a worst case scenario for TWC unless they did indeed prep Eboni in the Studio in case this very thing happened.

Nicole is on Military Duty for a few days.

Of all people, I thought for sure STEVE should know that

Maybe they train all TWC OCM's in there, just in case someone would need to fill in, I mean, they all are going to end up in there some day....

well actually she mentioned it on air a couple of days ago...maybe it was yesterday.

well it looks like i'm off to a sucky senior year already...just found out i failed algebra 2 for the second semester, so i'll probably have to repeat the class.

however at the same time, I can fight it...

the last test before grades were verified was our six weeks test grade, in gradespeed he reported it as a 75, and for that 75 he added an extra test grade of 75, it helped my six weeks average a lot. however we took our final, I got a 60 on that, he placed it in gradespeed...however he took off my 75 extra test grade and dropped my six weeks test from a 75 to a 55. failing me for the six weeks - 68 AND semester - 68

...so much for senior year...

On some of the more wordy lower thirds, the TWC logo on the IS LDL covers up some of the letters on the far right part of the lower third.

i was hoping someone would bring that up. lol.

I'm just going to guess that my IS is having problems, because there is still no sign of anything and it's been this way all day.  I think that it's just a problem that is yet to be resolved.

what are you seeing on your screen?

They waited until the second hour of A&B to announce the new two-hour format. Mike, however, tried to tell us to check our local listings but instead wound up saying, "Check your local dealer."

It must be the memories of working with Sharon Resultan at that very desk coming back to him.

hahaha, i was able to catch that too.
