To give you an idea, my normal TV traffic reports are about 30 seconds, with sponsor. This morning, they're twice that long, if not longer. I'm basically telling people if they don't need to be anywhere *right now* to stay off the roads.
All hands on deck this morning in the TV news business: we're dealing with severe storms with flooding, power outages, wires and trees down, and idiots that still think they can drive like normal causing mayhem on the roadways.
This is one of those mornings when I *really* appreciate working from my home studio.
@0x56 Here's your theme song:
It was definitely a challenge to my willpower, but I have finally removed all the unhealthy food from my house.
It was delicious.
And even though I'm the one that asked the question, it's a hard one for me to answer simply, because I do so many things:
* Radio/TV traffic reporter
* Entertainment website editor
* Book editor
* Voice actor
* Journalist
* Musician
* Advertising copywriter
I generally just tell people I'm in the entertainment business to make it simpler. 😎
Question of the Day: What do you do for a living?
@0x56 Sharks are cool just the way they are, and Chihuahua's are already mean enough, they don't need any extra weaponry.
I want my own evil villain lair in the base of an extinct volcano. With the pool of piranha. Just because.
@stueytheround Facebook/Meta moves at the speed of molasses. Last email I had from the IT folks was "we're still waiting to hear back from Facebook".
It's a bit maddening.
Coffee starts the day
It helps to awake my mind
I live for caffeine

So armchair archeologists, what is this ancient device that was recently unearthed? It looks vaguely familiar…
Question of the Day: What is your favorite thing to bake?
Tuesdays feel like biting into a chocolate chip cookie only to find out it’s oatmeal raisin.
@ArcturusSaDiablo Run around with a fire extinguisher yelling "this is not a drill!" at the top of your lungs just in case someone else is in the building. 😜
@Say_what_now More like my usual morning fun with AI. 😁
Well, I made it through the morning news on TV without coughing or cracking, thanks to some pretty heavy medication (upper respiratory infections are SO much fun), but I wonder just how stoned I sounded. 😜
@CinnamonGirlE that's pretty damn impressive. Could she even move in that thing?
