Everybody Wants Me!

But not in the good way... We are understaffed at work and both departments, News and Radio, are in a tug o' war over me. And thats never a bad thing. Certainly better than people going "I don't want her working here."

There is this new program that the station put together and I am only the 2nd person to go through it, its called AFN Bootcamp. Now the frustrating part is... This guy was training me on News, ok, fine... But he started showing me all these things that are VERY basic stuff I learned on the job in Souda, or my job as a photographer which one thing I am very good at is lighting, and its so annoying having someone re-train you on things you have been to school for and have experiance in. And my new command sent me to C-School which is basically another school for the next level of your job or specialty. All the Navy's media jobs were merged into one big job. People who never had any experiance in broadcasting and are shoved into the field with almost no training. However, the non-annoying training is job specific, how they do things specifically. Now this week I am training in radio, which I am hoping to work in that department. They do things a little differently that I need to know. So I am excited to finish training and get to work!

So yes, its good I'm wanted and needed at work! I'm excited to get down and dirty and get to work.

And on top of everything we are getting a whole new chain of command within a month or 2 of each other. So what does that mean? They are going to change anything and everything they can, because the higher ranking you are the more you think you know and it always seems to be the younger ones who do that to an extreme degree. So we will see what happens.
