Rollin' On A River

Let the trumpets sound, champagne all around because Kate's got a job.

Yes, indeedy... a job. No, not a job, but a career.

I am in fact moving to Cincinnati.

I got offered a good job yesterday at a solid station, and I accepted this morning.

The nuts and bolts:
10% raise from my current salary
$1000 in moving expenses
One year contract
Benefits and all the other trimmings

The fluff:
Solid, oftentimes #1 station
#1 morning show
Top CBS affiliate in the nation
Great news director
High retention rate
Teaching through praise and constructive criticism (no yelling or meanness!)

I'm not bowled over by the hours (11 pm to 7 am M-F) but at least I get my weekends off, right?

I start March 14th, and will officially move up there in April (will stay in Lex for the weekends, crash at a friend's house during the week).

Congratulations! A good friend of mine just accepted a job offer with the Cincinnati prosecutor's office. Seems like the place to be.
