You know the song. "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Well, that somewhere over the rainbow is Liberal, Kansas for me. Today, in Liberal I interviewed for a reporter position with The Southwest Times. And in Liberal, today, my somewhere over the rainbow, I got offered a job!Newspaper reporter: covering specifically the county government meetings, the school board, the hospital and general assignments that come up with feature writing. Pay is good. Benefits, yes are available. The staff young. The desk comes with a Mac with Adobe programs. The newspaper is owned by a media company that most of their papers are in the South (which included papers in Georgia/Kentucky...so future newspapers jobs are looking my way). It is perfect!
Not perfect is being so far away from my parents, sister, friends, and everything I know. But this is just too good of an offer. This is the opportunity. This is where I need to be. And that is why I am accepting the position tomorrow morning.
Move over Dorothy, I am coming to Kansas and I am bring Tiger Lily. So warn Totto she is a feisty little orange cat. Coming to begin my "Somewhere Over the Rainbow...skies are blue. And the dreams that you dare to dream. Really do come true."
"That's where you'll find me."
{Stay Tuned} Move is early October!
