at long last... big news

I got a job. A real one!

No more getting up at 4am to travel through a dark city and then sit around for hours and hours hoping for a sliver of an on-screen appearance.

In a million years I never thought that this very blog might lead to a job, but it has.

Someone reading it — someone I had met once and hadn't seen in over 30 years — thought of me for a job they knew was open.

They contacted me through Facebook Messenger at the beginning of August.

And then, over the course of the next few weeks, I spoke via Zoom to four key people at the company. 

I start tomorrow.

It's a full-time job. I'm Director, Office of the CEO.

The company is Cumulus Media;  it's the third largest owner and operator of radio stations in the US, with corporate headquarters in NYC and Atlanta.

But mostly I'll be working remotely. 

I couldn't be more thrilled.
