Fears, Hopes, and Dreams
Dear Diary,
I'm a little nervous. We had a new girl that started last week. She's pretty bad. She didn't even know how to put the headset on. A few days later Pedro asked me how she was doing and I just kind of said "well she's new...but she asked me how to put the headset on." He and I laughed about it, cause like...it's a headset...it goes on your head and covers your ear, there's nothing to it. A few days ago I heard Pedro telling our meteorologist Kait about how the new girl didn't know how to put her headset on. Then this morning the main meteorologist Glenn said to Pedro "I heard the new girl didn't know how to put her headset on!" Glenn said he heard it from Marci (a reporter who hangs out with Kait).
Ugh I just feel so guilty and don't want it to come back around to me! I just learned a lesson about what to say to people I work with. So later today after that happened I tried to save myself (if anything does come back to me,) I pulled Pedro aside and said "woa, I can't believe everyone knows about the headset story. I thought it was innocent and cute that she didn't know how to put it on." Ya know, trying to make it sound real nice, because it was kind of funny...I mean she's 23, but maybe she never owned a walkman or portable cd player? I told Stephen the whole situation to get some advice and he said if it comes back to me just play completely dumb and say I heard it from someone else...well this might work if I wasn't the one to show her how to put it on! But seriously, c'mon! Who can't figure out a headset?!?
AHH...I think I decided if it comes back to me I'll say this: " Oh, someone asked me how she was doing and I said that she's definitely new and still learning things, but it was funny because she's so new she needed help figuring out her headset."
I honestly didn't mean any harm by it, just worried that someone will make a joke to her about it or call her out or something...why do I always get myself into these situations?!? I'm just praying no one says anything to her or in front of her about it! My stomach is in knots. But then again, when someone complains to my boss about someone else, he usually just makes a joke and ignores it... I want to ask Jason for advice on it, but I know he'll lecture me and make me feel worse about it, so for right now I'll try to put it on the back burner in my head.
I should have realized how much everyone talks there! I man, DANG, when Jason told Bill about me (to get me an interview) he told him I was one of his dear friends. We wanted to be professional about it, and not make our relationship public to the company, to not draw any special attention. Within one month I slowly realized just about EVERYONE there knew we were dating. We don't make it obvious in any way either. I would just get random questions from people I didn't think knew anything about it like "So do you and Jason live together?" and other things.
Also up until the Royal Wedding coverage, I could've cared less about it. We did the FOX show today from 4:30-9am for local coverage since all the other stations (including our station NBC) were covering the Royal Wedding. It was when they showed Kate in the back of the car with her father getting ready to ride to the church that I was suddenly so interested! She is just so beautiful and elegant and seeing both her and Prince William smiling and being so dainty with each other showed me how in love they are with one another. They seemed so natural and nervous, it's funny how we as people don't look at people in the spot light as people, more like actors. It was such a beautiful ceremony and I adored all the hats. And my gosh her dress was breathtaking. I spent most of the morning watching the Royal Wedding while I just moved the camera to where it was supposed to be, then turning back to the television that was broadcasting it. Gosh what an honor that must have been to of been on the sidewalk outside let alone invited or IN the wedding! I find most weddings so boring, but that was something so special and deserved the attention it received!
And oh my gosh I so badly want to watch a space shuttle take off from the Kennedy Space Center! I've always wanted to go, and considered doing it today after I got off work. Todays launch is the second to last launch that will take off from NASA in the Kennedy Space Center. I really want to go to the last one, but I know there's going to be so many friggin people there. And sure, I could watch it from home or on the beach or something, but who wants to do that when they live just 2 hours away and experience it so much closer! I wish they had another night launch happening, those were always so beautiful to watch. The last one that took off just a month or so ago made me re-appreciate mankind. I watched it as I was driving home from work on I-95. Man it's wild to think about. We as human beings have gone to space, wow! I've always been so fascinated by space and the stars and the moon.
I've been to the KSC one time in 6th grade. My moms Uncle Urgen and cousin Sascha were in from Germany and took Stephen and I up there (on a school day which made us like them more woot!) I remember we got ice cream and explored the WHOLE space center! We were both hoping there was going to be a launch that day, but there wasn't. After that they took us on another surprise to SEA WORLD! First and only time I've ever been there and LOVED IT! I remember we stayed until the park closed and rode all the rides and there being no lines for the Journey to Atlantis ride near the closing of the park. Stephen and I rode that one multiple times! Then we watched a show in their theater all done by animals (including dogs, cats, and birds). It was at this show that I realized you can train cats. I remember they had this one cat walk along a tight rope and being in complete awe! This is where I got my "I'll put my cat on a leash, and I'll teach her to do tricks, and I'll teach her to use a toilet!" ideas from.
Le sigh, to be a kid again and not worry about anything, only dream about everything. La La La La La La La La
PS: I realized that it's because this usually happens that I haven't watched a live shuttle launch
