So, part of my income for this summer has been my job at the radio station. Since its the college station, during the summer the hours are fewer and the work load is more. There are three of us on staff for summer, when during the year we have 10 staff and about 20 volunteer DJs.
My job title is "Co-Program Director/Underwriting Director." Basically, I'm in charge of a doing a bunch of stuff around the station, production/playlists, DJing, PSAs, and Underwriting. I have done something of each, except underwriting for this summer. And that is the biggest part of my job.
I feel like such a slacker - i have no movitivation to call businesses (new and old) to see if they would like to support KMSC and underwrite with us. All it takes is a simple phone call... nothing more. But i am a lazy BUM.
Today, I spent a good 5 hours in the station doing work. I went through ALL the mail (it was a lot, i'm not kidding), wrote up PSAs, did some emailings, did some other "administrative" things... then to waste time, i CLEANED my office, the hallway,, production room, and on-air room. And by cleaned, i mean picked up papers, threw shit out, etc. I even managed to re-label all the mail bins for this coming year.
Sounds productive, no?
It honestly was productive. Stuff that needed to be done and is now finished. However, I still haven't done my underwriting stuff. Our faculty advisor sent me an email a while ago stating underwriting money is essential for our continued success this summer. I know this - I should try and get as much money as possible. But i have no motivation.
I definitely attribute this to my lack of something to do. The last two summers I held down two full-time jobs. At one, I worked about 45 hours/week. The other was around 35 hours/week... evening out to two full-time jobs. Now, this summer... I have all this free time and no good reason to actually do anything.
Of course, now that I have my job at Sears, I am starting to get re-motivated to work. Hence why I went to the station today. I also think it helps when Josh and I push each other to go there... that gives us a reason.
Anyway... I just thought I'd bore people with that stuff....
On a similar note, I start floor training at Sears tomorrow. Finished my computer training yesterday (thank god), and now I can get out on the floor and see what its all about :) I'll admit, i'm a little nervous because I've never had a job in sales like this - but I think once i'm done training I'll do well.
Well, I don't know what else to really say. Gonna go work out some tonight (finally getting the motivation to do that again, too). Then I'm going to load up some stuff into my car and hit up my new house. Move some more stuff in... have some drinks... just chillax.
But first, an hour of simpsons :)
