For Me It's My Job, But You Think It's Way Cooler Than It Really Is

So I work at a radio station, and for me it's just a job. I'm not saying that it's not fun, but I don't really think too much of it. I have a show on the light rock station every Monday- Friday from 7-10 pm, but for me it's just a part of my job. When I started in radio, it was really cool, but now it's what I do every day, so even though it's still fun, I don't really think about it as being a "cool job."

My station's target demographic is people between the ages of 35 and 54, and when you go to the gym at 7:00 in the morning, that's exactly who you run in to. People don't scare me, so I'm not afraid to talk to them, even if they are a lot older than I am. We exchange the usual things like names, and sometimes workplace comes into play, and as soon as I mention I work at a radio station, everyone thinks it's the coolest thing that they have ever heard.

I have signed autographs for kids that take my tour of the station, but luckily I haven't had an adult insist upon it. I don't see myself as a big star or anything like that. I have a job, and I do what is in my job description. I love what I do, but to me it's not a big deal, because I do it every day.

For those of you who don't know being on the radio is a blast, but the actual studio isn't that cool. It's just a room with a microphone that connects to a switch board that controls what goes on the radio essentially. There's a little more to it with programming, but that's essentially it.

If you want to hear my show, you are more than welcome to. It can be streamed live at star98online.com every Monday- Friday 7:00-10:00pm Mountain Time. It's a fun job, but just because I am on the air, it doesn't make me a star. I'm just a regular person that just happens to have a job at a radio station.

Why is everything bigger than me?

Plants are amazing things. They can grow and grow with little care in the wild unless somebody cuts them down. Southern Utah is pretty rural, so you might wonder if anyone actually lives here with the tall vegetation that grows freely pretty much any place that it can. Weeds will grow as tall as you will let them grow, so for a short person it can be a little daunting to try to take on the plants that tower over you like trees.

When the weather gets warm enough, you might feel more inclined to go outside for a run. For most people it's not a big deal, but for a short person a little more planning has to go into it. It's a great way to get in shape, but if you are short there are a few things that you should be aware of:

1. If you run on a trail that grows wild, the plants will be taller than you guaranteed. It's not so bad until you feel like you walked into a corn maze, and can't find your way out.
2. Running a mile for you is different than running a mile for a normal sized person. Although the actual distance traveled is the same, the amount of strides and time is different. Short people often have shorter legs, so you may be running the same distance, but it will probably feel like you have done more.
3. People might not see you, or even wonder what parent decided to leave their child alone on the trail. Just watch out for other runners, and you should be fine. If you decide to run in the dark the chance for someone to run into you increases, because they really won't see you especially if you don't have loud foot steps.

When running outside avoid running by rivers, because they are probably deeper than you can actually stand. You are more than welcome to try it, but don't say I didn't warn you when you find yourself caught in the current.

It's A Small World

Not to be cliche, but as a small person the world is a lot bigger. I recently learned that the world really is a small place. I recently got a job at a hotel working the breakfast shift, and I have been able to meet people from all over the world.

I met a couple from Ireland that regularly visit the United States, because they love all of the places to explore, especially in the National Parks. They mentioned that they have visited Southern Utah multiple times, because they enjoy the beautiful scenery.

For me traveling all the way to Ireland seems like an impossible task, because it's so far away, but if they can travel here once a year just to see some mountains, and canyons, then the world might not be such a big place.
