Bedroom blog: one woman dishes about her sexy (sometimes dramatic) dating adventures.(LOVE AND LUST)

* The story so far: Last month, our fictional blogger, K., got some bad news of her own: The station where she works as a news producer was being bought, and her job was going bye-bye. Things were still awesome with her new beau, Neighbor Boy, but his ex was making K. feel a bit insecure. Plus, her BFF and roommate, Sarah, admitted she didn't really like him. Will R. get a break from all the drama?

Friday, 05.09.08 Deal or No Deal?

Today I had a meeting with Mel, my boss, to discuss my job (or lack thereof) once the station's new management takes over. I explained that I wasn't sure what I was going to do because I love the news.., real news, not celebrity news. And it's election season, which means covering politics is going to be really exciting. 'I understand where you're coming from, K.," Mel began, "but there's going to be a new show, and I think you'd be a great fit there. It's called On the Issues, and it will consist of interviews with celebrities, their causes, their politics, and the like. If you're interested, I'd be more than happy to recommend you for the position."

Hmmm. That does sound like it could be interesting. But I don't know. We discussed my other options. If I don't want to take a new job under the station's revised format, I can leave with a pretty decent severance package ... plus a big bonus if I stay until the bitter end. Mel also said that he has a lot of contacts in the industry and he'd be happy to put me in touch with people. That was a relief--losing my job and not having any other options, even with severance and unemployment, would be damn scary.

Lots to think about over the next month. Help!
