serious fridayeage!!

[thoreau]

Today started with a serious power surge hit our floor here in the building at the radio station about 6am - with the power supply on the floor literally catching fire. which killed everything - including our signals to the transmitter on Twin Peaks, our online streams and servers for email, documents and telephone. It's been insane running around getting that rolling. so - I ran in - as I'm just two MUNI stops from work - and nearly 7 hours later - we're back up on every front. EEK! We had extension cords running down hallways to give power to the studios. We had to relicense all of our transmitter machines (as that was a maintenance choice - but since they were down hard - they lost their licenses...ugh.)

but - in the midst of all this crazyness? the big boss - the station manager calls me into his office. and tells me they are giving me a nice raise - retroactive to April 1 when I first requested a salary review. So my July 31 paycheck will include a retroactive amount - which will allow me to get a parking spot in the building! YAY! He was overtly complimentary of my work on all three sites - particularly the new WOLF website which debuts next week. He also says that I should know that when anyone he talks to asks which website is the best in radio - he unflinchingly says http://www.kdfc.com - - which we are constantly tweaking for the best radio experience.

and then - even better - the big boss ordered in BBQ for everyone because of the challenging day. So I'm suffering from bbq beef bloat - but omg it was yummy. no beer though - drat.

After work tonight? my buddy Mr. bukephalus is in town - and we're going to dinner somewhere.

YAY!³

Wow! What a day that must have been! And here I sit vegetating on my Friday off, not knowing what's going on at work at all (probably nothing).

bukephalus sounds like a really sweetie. Hope to meet him someday, since he seems to running in the same crowds I run in when I'm in the bay area.

Enjoy your evening!

Glad to hear you survived the morning and got a pay raise too! I have seen some of your work and you certainly deserve recognition for your talent and hard work. And thank god that you can get the parking space in the garage now! Very happy for you.

congratulations!

Hey, that's great news - the bit about the raise and parking spot, not so much about the power problems. Congratulations!

Congrats on the raise!!!! I am still waiting for 1 from January!!! I will talk to the Store Manager 1 more time about it, it is only a lousy .25 an hour, but it would bring my yearly raise to at least cost of living which has of course gone up since then!
