As some of you know, I'm "on the beach." Unfortunately, it's not a real beach because then it would suck less.

But anyway -- I had a great conversation with a station for a newscast producing gig.

I'm a little worried, however, about the contract the GM spun off the mimeograph machine.

I'm not sure if I should turn it in -- though it has been a while since I've been in the job market, so maybe things like these employment contracts have changed and this is now the norm.

Whaddya'll think? Sign it or walk?

It's always easier to find a new job when you already have a job. Go for it.

Well, you're giving us absolutely no info to base an opinion on so I'm not sure what you expect us to say. A paycheck can be a strong motivator.

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.
They're coming to take me away, ho ho, he he , ha ha,
To the happy home with trees and flowers and chirping birds
And basket weavers who sit and smile
And twiddle their thumbs and toes
And they're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

Let me guess - they serve green eggs and ham in the break room and the anchors names are "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" and there's a fish in a fish bowl who is the moral compass for the newsroom, right?
