Television news is a very competitive business. Five WSAZ part-timers, including myself, are getting ready to graduate from college, but NewsChannel 3 only has two full-time positions currently available.

Hopefully two of the five of us will get those positions. My four part-time colleagues are exceptionally hard workers and have strong character, so I’ve been doing my best to sabotage their work and make them look bad so that when the time comes, I will be in better standing with the employers.

Also, I’ve been trying to convince the others that this isn’t a very good place to live by telling them stories about violent werewolves lurking around the alleys of Huntington . Maybe the fear of the werewolves will drive them off, or better yet, perhaps there really are werewolves, and the wolves will get them.

However, should I end up seeking my destiny elsewhere, hopefully I’ll find something I have a real passion for. Sometimes I’ve contemplated volunteering in a developing country and helping people whose lives aren’t as fortunate as ours. It also might be fun to be a radio deejay.

Whatever I head into, I’ll be heading into as a bachelor. The woman I love has rejected my proposal, most likely because the blog I wrote about Strawberry Breakfast never became the Most Read Story on WSAZ.com, thanks to the super-popular “WSAZ’S ANNUAL UMBRELLA GIVEAWAY!” story, and the other nine more interesting stories. I guess the timing just wasn’t right.
