Holy Scat!
I found this amazing job opportunity that just opened up: President Of Cuba!
I am so going to send in an application. I think I'm fully qualified. I'm thoughtful, respectful, friendly, I work diligently and I am always prepared. What can I say? I'm a team player.
For the life of me, I cannot think of any reason why I would not be given this position.
WHO'S WITH ME?!?!
Now, if you excuse me, I have a cover letter to write.

Drastic Measures
You might remember this post I made at the end of 2006.
Now that it's 2008, it's time to ask the following questions:
Did I follow through on my 2007 resolution? Not really. Taking charge and pursuing your goals is easy. It's the outside factors that make things difficult. I applied to so many media jobs and sent out so many proposals. All I received was "thanks, but no thanks" or no response at all. What really bugs is me finding out that friends of mine who still go to University are getting co-op placements, internships, or lining themselves up for "post-grad employment." I wonder how they can easily get into their field of work, while I've been struggling for the last two years sending out thousands of applications. Am I bitter? Absolutely. Am I jealous? You bet.
Is it time to take drastic measures? Not sure on that one. There's a fine line between taking a chance and doing something stupid. It's all a matter of weighing your options.
Has life gotten better or worse? A little better, but I am nowhere near where I want to be. In May, I started a new "non-radio" job and it was the best thing that happened to me this past year. It's steady work, steady pay, my co-workers are phenomenal, and I get a lot satisfaction out of it. I'm very lucky to have this job.
I still have to deal with the pressure I put on myself as well as outside pressures. I still have to deal with people who tell me that radio is "a garbage job in a garbage industry." If I wanted to throw away my goals, I would have done it by now. But I refuse to quit. I'd rather die trying then capitulate.
What will happen to me 2008? I don't know. I really don't know and I refuse to make predictions. We'll just have to wait and see.
Fasten your seat belts.

Give Up?
"Eric, the chances of you becoming a successful radio broadcaster and earning a good living are zero. If I were you, I would quit CHEV and seek out a full-time job and career with the Town of M******."
- My Parents
Nice to know I have their full support.
I'd rather slit my wrists then work for the Town of M****** for the rest of my life.
This is the hell I've had to endure, ever since I threw my independence away and moved back home from Ottawa.

Tick.....Tock
Every day passes, and I find that I am nowhere near my goals.
The worst days are the days when I don't make any progress.
Tick......tock.
In seven months, I will be 25. There are people who are younger then me, who are getting farther then I am.
Tick.....tock.
There is this clock in my head. I only have a few years before the dream becomes impossible.
Tick....tock.
Every day passes and time is running out.
