Summer Wrap-Up

I know, there is still more than half of August to go and you don't need anyone else to remind you that the summer is almost over. But my summer feels completely finished since I started working the first week of August. And I'm totally okay with that feeling. Summer is overrated. And autumn is awesome.

But anyway, that's right, I got a job. And I consider myself completely blessed for being employed. I can count on one hand the friends I graduated with who have jobs, and most of those are not "career jobs." (Two side notes: 1. No, I don't have a lot of friends, and 2. I'm not putting down their jobs... just saying how lucky I am.)

And, actually, my job is only a "job" until December when it turns into a "fellowship." I also start getting benefits and a raise at that point, so you can determine for yourself which sounds better.

Right. So I work for The Ohio Channel, also called Ohio Government Telecommunications. (NOT to be confused with ONN!) I work right in the Ohio Statehouse doing video production work, and I really love my job. The deal with the fellowship thing is that last spring I applied to be a Legislative Service Commission fellow, one of 24 that the LSC hires each December. I got the position as a telecommunications fellow, and OGT ended up needing me to work full time before the fellowship starts in December. So naturally I agreed.

I feel like everything about this is confusing, especially all those acronyms.
