The Dallas Morning News...and me

So I've officially started my job at The Dallas Morning News as an online content specialist in the classifieds section of dallasnews.com. Unfortunately, just because I've started my job, that doesn't mean I've really started working persay. There isn't much to do when I don't know how to do...anything. I now know how to publish stories to the Web using their web publishing tool VelocIT, which was easy enough to learn, but there are no new stories to publish. I'm watching someone moderate a live chat with my boss at noon. She does a column called "Lunch Ladies" where they review food, etc. Last night they tasted light and low carb beer. Sounds like my kind of job. Anyway, I'm going to learn to moderate so we can have live chats with experts in some of our categories. Those categories are cars, jobs, and homes. Right now, I'm the one who will be in charge of all of them. Very Exciting. I'm actually saying that without a hint of sarcasm. Since way back when I produced Clay's show on 1300 WIBR, I haven't done much actual work at work. Sure, I pushed buttons on Diva, talked in a microphone a from time to time, and put up banners here and there...but can that actually be considered work? It's about all I really should have been doing for $7 an hour, but now that I'm getting quite a bit more, I really want things to do. And as soon as I have something, I'll stop procrastinating. Really.
