snip snip...snap?

to be very honest, the last week has been a tough one.

I won't use this blog here to state what the CBC is cutting to make up for the $171 million shortfall, but suffice to say, every single employee will be affected to some degree. if you are really curious as to how, feel free to ask me in person.

it's a depressing time to be in broadcasting, and even though I feel like I fell into this opportunity, I can't deny that I've fallen in love with it. And yes, I want to keep pursuing it. And for the past year, it's been breezy...opportunities kept coming, and I was hungry for them all. but now, i'm seeing colleagues who've been at this for much longer than I, worked much harder than I, that will most definitely get their contracts cut. they won't get cut because they're not bringing in good stories, or broke journalistic rules - they'll get cut for the sole reason that there's just not enough cash to sustain everyone.

*sigh*.

so this past week, I feel like my mind is just wandering...I'm one of those people who needs structure and vision to keep moving, and at this point, I haven't quite figured things out yet. all I know for sure is that the future feels very uncertain at the moment.
