Who's All Grown Up Now?

Apparently that's me! This week has been incredibly...well...it's been incredible. To start, on Tuesday, I had a meeting with the General Manager who made me News Director (in training for a few months, just to make sure I like the responsibilities and can handle it all). That means I am management! I have staff! I have people! I have to go to department head meetings! It's surreal at this point actually, but I'm really excited. It's strange to think that I've only been in the industry for two years and I'm management now. Not to mention the morning news shift as well, which I love doing.

Wednesday was the official 25th Birthday. It's strange to think that I'm "no longer early-twenties" (thanks Kenny for pointing that out...jerk). It was a great day though. Work was fun, then Ryan and I went for a beer and some spanokopita (or skank-o-topia as he called it) for a couple of hours. Had a great time and heard some fantastic stories. Then I came home and relaxed and watched daytime tv before Brad came home and I opened prezzies. He gave me season three of Animaniacs (ok, maybe not so grown up afterall), and A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore. Mum and Da gave me some moneys (which are already being distributed fairly among vaious merchants of the Swift Current Mall), and a pair of Spongs...which are quite possibly the most comfortable footwear in the world! Mare gave me a book The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, a box of my favorite tea (tazo Passion), and the Hayley Sales CD. She told me she was disappointed when she read my blog and found out I had bought it on iTunes. But I told her it's a great gift because, well, I love the CD, and now I have a full copy of it. Even more ironic though, is that as soon as I had downloaded the tracks, I burnt a CD copy to give her as an additional birthday present! I was going to give it to her because I figured there was no way she would have heard of her, and she bought it for me because she figured there was no way I would have heard of her! Just goes to show we're really on the same plain with each other!

Next, Brad and I went for supper at the Akropol and I had a couple glasses of wine and felt a little tipsy. We came home and I watched the season finale of Canada's Next Top Model. (Rebecca won, as we had all predicted)

Yesterday one of the company's suits was in town, so all of the department heads went for drinks and appy's. It was my first encounter on the management scale and was quite a lot of fun. Getting to be all grown up...one more reason why, but that will come later, with pictures! Yay!
