As expected, my night was cut short at the Galesburg Summer Shootout. I was keeping track of the National Weather Service radar on my laptop from my WAIK broadcast booth at GHS. At 7:35, a severe thunderstorm warning popped up for Henderson County. Funny thing was, there was no "color" on the radar in Henderson County, hence why I was so behind on it. The main cell I was following had just moved past Ottumwa, Iowa. This, my friends, is why I stick to sports...not weather patterns.
As I hurredly picked up and put stuff away, the Normal U-High vs. Bettendorf first half was coming to a close. I had seen quite a bit of basketball for a night, but I really wanted to stick around and see the final session, featuring Galesburg vs. Springfield.
I made it back to the radio station, just in time for the severe thunderstorm warning to expire, because it had weakened. I cursed for a moment, and decided to vent my frustrations my uploading more video from tonight's action, LOL.
Another topic on my mind is where to eat. Stomach grumbling, I really, really....really need to pass on fast food, but Chen's Garden is sounding awfully tasty, right now....even with it's overloaded sodium content. At this point, I'm tired...I'm hungry...and I've been working for 13 hours straight. Making matters worse, I have a 35-minute drive home, only to wake up around 4:00 a.m. to make a return trip back for the morning shift...and then basketball all day. The funny thing is, I prefer this type of schedule over an 8-hour work day. I would go crazy if I only worked 8 hours a day.
With that said...back to work....
