My Name In Lights

Passover is OVER! Let’s Go to School! April 22, 2009

I’m about to head down to Lenox Ave. with Josh to get a tour and speak to the Directress of the Temple Beth Shmuel Montessori School, which is the original Cuban Hebrew Congregation. I feel like we’ve been waiting to get access to the children and this woman forever because, I got the lead more than two weeks ago and since then the school has had vacation for the Jewish Holiday Passover. But, finally, we will go and give this story its legs for “Millennium Beat”.

This little logistical problem raises concerns in my mind about my future in journalism. I’m just wondering what it will be like in a newsroom when I am not only forced to work a holiday that I would prefer to have off, but everyone else is off too. I’m envisioning Christmas/Hannukah/Kwanzaa as a difficult time to be on a deadline. Or Thanksgiving..New Year’s? Woe is me. What am I getting myself into. Looks like I’ll just have to enjoy my stress-free holidays while they last.

Well I’m off to go meet Josh. Don’t want to keep the kiddies waiting. Seriously, I can’t wait to meet them. I hope we get to play. Until next time…
