OMG!!! I can't believe it's been over two months since I've posted. But believe me when I tell you that I've been hopelessly busy and totally overwhelmed. At least I had been. In my last post I wrote about finally finding a job in my field so soon after my college graduation. I was ecstatic and on top of the world. I landed a producer's position for an NBC afilliate and I was finally going to be working in a field I had been dreaming about since high school.. Well, let me tell you, my natural high quickly came to an all-time low weeks after I started. In the first couple of weeks, everyone was totally nice and was quick to help me and answer any questions. But eventually, I felt totally out of my element.
Before I continue, I want to reiterate that this is not a bash on my company or any of co-workers. But, this new job position knocked me on my a$$. I soon realized that I do not know everything and that I have a lot to learn about my industry. Things for me became so out of hand, that I didn't want to go to work. I found myself thinking, "what did I get myself into?" I wanted to tuck my tail in between my legs and bow out. And believe me when I say, I was ready to throw in the towel and go back home to Houston. I still want to go back home to Houston, but that's a whole other story.
So, did things turn around? Yes! I had to do a lot of soul searching and twice as much praying. I wanted to cry in the beginning, but couldn't. Even though crying would have felt good, it wouldn't have helped any. Miraculously, and I do mean miraculously... one day after weeks of praying, everything fell into place. I felt comfortable... I finally felt as though I knew what I was doing and I stopped making the same "stupid" mistakes. Trust me, I'm still learning, and there is plenty more to learn, but let's just say that I'm consciously adequate at my job.
What's next? Nothing but years of success! I'm on my way!
