Thursday, September 29, 2005Missing You; Part Two
Okay, as I was saying before I got distracted by a fluffy kitty cat, I was going to tell you nice folks about my happy little dysfunctional family that I left behind in the humid wastelands known as Central Illinois.
My first piece of meat that I am going to parade out is our ever so neat-o anchor Jerry Lambert.
Jerry is the one on the right, obviously. The super-hottie on the left is coming in part three.
Jerry was a lot of fun to work with. He used to be in the army and he had all sorts of stories he didn't mind telling. Even if you didn't want to hear them! But I loved to hear them. He was an avid motorcyclist, and I often wished I had a bike so I could tag along with him and one of the sales guys he went riding with. They always seemed to have a blast riding through the countryside.
The funniest thing I remember about Jerry was one I first met him. I had only seen him on the news, so I was expecting some stuffy, robot of a news-reader. However after the first time we went on a shoot together, we started conversating. I tell ya I think I almost wet myself I was laughing so hard. He was a trip. And that's why I miss Mr. Jerry Lambert.
Elizabeth Wooley, another person whose on-air professionalism totally had me unprepared for what a fun and out-going person she really was.
Eliza was one of my favorite people because she always laughed at my stupid antics and jokes. I think she only ever got mad at me once and that was when she was walking around without her shoes on and I commented on how short she was. I learned that day how much of a difference heels make. Especially when you're being kicked in the head.
Just kidding. She didn't kick me.
Eliza always helped out in getting the 10:00 show done. She sometimes handled the nutso callers who called because they wanted us to do a story on chicken livers and how the government wants them to be used to replace human livers. Eliza was just an all around great worker and friend, and that's why I miss her.
Natalie Bomke was one of my favorite reporters and not just because she was so kawii and the daughter of a state senator (Yeah, I lust for power, big deal).
I had so much fun when I went out and shot with Nat. I think you might be able to tell from that picture that she loved me too! Well, she didn't like me taking pictures of her....
She was a lot of fun, and not to take anything away from the others, but it was nice to work with a reporter a little closer to my age. I know next time I am in town I'm going to get smacked by like three people. She was a lot of fun to work with and I got to know a lot about her. She's now working at the Danville bureau of the sister station, WICD. Probably doing a kick ass job there too! She was a talented reporter and a super person and that's why I miss Natalie Bomke.
Steve Bridge, the sports director of WICS complains as much, if not more than myself.
Steve and I would get into all sorts of arguments since he was a liberal and I am a right leaning libertarian. But the nice thing was that we would argue current events, get hungry and go to La Bamba, and return and argue about the Cubs. ((As he was a Cubs fan - unsure if that is worse than being a liberal or not. I'm kidding!!!! Of course being a Cubs fan is worse! And I am a Cardinals fan.))
Steve was the king of one liners and off the cuff remarks. You'd be having a conversation 3 cubicles away, then Steve would pop his head up - similar to a wack-a-mole - and comment.
Steve would always send me to the farthest away games, which I loved, because he had faith that I could get out there, get the game shot, and get back in time for the show. I think the only thing he despised about me was the fact that I wouldn't edit anything, since I was afraid that he would get pissed at my crappy job and never let me shoot football or basketball, or my favorite, girls volleyball, again.
Steve Bridge, I almost miss you the most. If you had boobs, it probably would be the most. Damn you and your lack of boobies.
Join us tomorrow as I go through the weekend crew... The ones I spent the most of my time with and the ones I had the most fun, and did the hardest work with.
