Pep Rally

One of the most fun parts of my job is sometimes one of the cruddiest parts of my job: Appearing in promos. A lot of people don't like doing the public appearances and whatnot that come with the job, and I can understand that. Usually, I don't mind. It's fun because I get the chance to goof around a little, and I get a chance to "be myself" rather than be the "sports lady." But sometimes it stinks because I either have to come in early or come in on my day off to shoot them.

Today, we shot an on-air promo with the Wardogs, our arena football team. We're sponsoring a half-time event at one of the games, so we headed down to the Civic Center, threw on a couple of football jerseys, and hammed it up for the cameras. It took about an hour, and it was just a couple of the players, plus Cory, Dave (my boss) and me, so it was a good time. Oh, and I almost forgot. One of the players told me I have pretty eyes. Hee-hee.

Of course, it would have been better if I hadn't had to come in three hours early to do it, but Dave and I really don't have any down-time during our regular hours, so it was the only time we could do it.

I just hope I don't look like too big of a dork when the thing airs.
