Week of Firsts


This is a week of firsts for me here on KFIZ. Not only will I be out at a high school football game by myself for the first time, I will also be hosting Saturday's Breakfast Club for the first time without someone else guiding me along the whole way through. I'm a bit nervous, but more excited than anything.


For the football game tonight, I'm really not worried at all. I'm looking forward to it very much as football is one of my largest interests. It should be a good game as the St. Mary's Springs Ledgers take on the Winnebago Lutheran Vikings. I won't be calling a full game of play-by-play or color commentary as Wade and Hoffy will be in Appleton calling the Fond du Lac game against Appleton North. Wouldn't it be something to see the Cardinals upset North after their first win of the year last Friday? Could be really cool.


As for the Breakfast Club, yeah I'm a little nervous but I'm really excited to finally get into the mix there. I actually really like learning new things and these last three months have been nothing but. However, I never feel completely comfortable with the things I learn until I do them myself without any help. Either I fall on my face and learn from my mistakes or fly through with superb results and realize that it's not as difficult as I make it out to be. Even though I hope for the latter option, either way I get the job done and move on to the next time feeling more confident.


So all in all, things in the KFIZ family are moving along really well and I'm really looking forward to my first year at the KFIZ Halloween party coming up on the 28th! I just have to come up with a costume. Any suggestions?

Hey Joe! Zach Wagner here from the Ultimate Gaming party! Wanted to say that I know how you feel about being nervous about starting a new position and filling in for others when they're not available.

I can totally relate to you with the situation because at work at Mercury Marine I will have to start taking over shifts for my co-workers 3rd shift as they go on vacation - all by myself!

I also have the same ideas, if I can handle something by myself, hopefully it goes well and I will gain confidence or else I have to learn from my mistakes. Either way, I try to learn the most I can.

Looking forward to seeing you at the gaming party.

Congrats on the new responsibilities,
I know you can handle them.

As for the Halloween costume,
of course Ellen's suggestion is my 1st choice,
(you can make it yourself w/kleenex)
but you can always borrow my costume:
"exhausted (your title here) that has arrived late due to working overtime and will probably leave early to be at work on time tomorrow"

JUST KIDDING. I totally have a super cool and totally hawt costume and you're really lame for not having one figured out yet.
