I know!
…I know that when I so publicly cry out my sadness about losing my job that I am inviting people to say things to me. I get that.
I also understand that when people say things along the lines of, “Stuff gets cancelled all the time. That’s TV,” that I really believe they are coming from the best place and trying to be so super helpful. And I love you all for that.
So, I hope I don’t come off as super annoyed or anything…
But.
I am well aware that that’s how TV works. Yes, I’ve worked on tons of shows and bounced around a ton. Totally. I know it’s part of the game.
However…
I had finally made it to a Jon Stewart late night comedy show – a total dream.
The Daily Show has been on for something like 20 years and counting. Colbert was on for something like 9 before he chose to leave (and took a bunch of his staff with him!).
We are in. an. election. year.
I was so sure – so very sure – I had my job through November, if not longer. I was SO excited to help cover the election.
It was the greatest job I’ve ever had on a million levels, and in every way. I realize there’s more great stuff out there, and I’m excited to see what’s next.
But I just want to be granted a bit of grieving time, if that’s okay?
Does this post make sense? 😛
