New Beginnings and getting up like a normal person

A few new things are going on in the last few weeks, first, I was finally hired full-time by the Pittsburgh Penguins, as a Producer for the three television shows we are doing for FSN Pittsburgh.

Words can't really describe right now how I feel about it, I'm definitely excited and nervous, just want to learn and do as much as I can while I have this job, which could be for a long time, who knows.

I started off doing the job on a freelance basis, for about two months and I really got a taste of what I would be doing once I get more into the full swing, which I'm hoping will begin to evolve once I officially start after Christmas, I don't want to disappoint and I'm one for putting pressure on myself to take off on the ground running.

In other news, I picked the greatest weekend ever to decide to move all my crap from one apartment to another. Of course, this is extreme sarcasm, as Pittsburgh saw it's first snow of the year. Not gonna lie, it was rather nice, because the wind has stayed down, which is key for me liking the winter weather. Luckily I had some help from Pam, Jenny and Greg in moving my furniture on Friday night, when it didn't snow.

On Saturday, I played the "do I set it in the snow or don't I set it in the snow" with cardboard boxes. I'm about 90% of the way moved out of the old place, I have to take some things to the Salvation Army, throw a bunch of junk away and take some other pieces of furniture home to Maryland, when I make the trip home for Christmas.

So, I'm pretty well established in the new place, I have the big room downstairs (two-story apartment, nice), chalk up a minus to the fact that it's the coldest room in the apartment! I am definitely going to take the time to put some plastic on the old windows to keep as much air out as possible, and put some winter weather stripping around too.

The biggest pain is sorting through all the stuff I decided to keep and going, why am I keeping this, into the trash....or, where am I putting this?

On the plus side, my roommate Brian already has an HDTV in the living room, so I got to put mine in my bedroom, with the surround sound :-D

I'm also getting used to this early morning, earlier getting to bed thing. Having somewhere to be and something to do every day makes it interesting.
