Right after college, I moved home. I didn't have a job, so I did what a lot of kids do, and I packed up my things and headed back to Mom and Dad. I was able to get a job at a local theme park after about a month, and I worked there until I moved to Los Angeles the following year. However, while I lived at home, I applied for jobs at EVERY TV station in the area, and some that weren't. I was trying so hard to break into TV news, since that's what I'd trained to do. I knew that I'd have to start small, and that was fine. But I couldn't even convince the small stations to hire me! That was so frustrating. I even applied to our local 24 hours news network, which is haphazardly run, at best. It was pretty new back then, so I thought I had a good chance, but they never even called me.
It's totally their loss, right?

Mom snapped this recently while watching that local 24 hour news station. It's tough to see the error. Look at the screen behind her. Allow me to embiggen:

I wish I knew what they were talking about here, in terms of viral videos and social media going TOO far. I think that's the definition of a viral video is for it to spread via social media. If you don't want things to do that, DO NOT upload them to youtube. I mean, right?
Learning when to deploy to, two, and too is really, REALLY not that difficult. I encourage those that might be expected to do so in a public forum to try harder. ONCE AGAIN. If only they'd hired me. This would have never made it past me. YEAH.
(Thanks, Mom!)
