Phone Duty
So this afternoon and early evening, I’ll be helping answer phones in the newsroom instead of doing my normal marketing activities. This likely means that I’ll be answering questions from mostly angry viewers demanding to know why we’re talking about a tropical storm (or hurricane, depending on whether it strengthens) that’s right off our coast instead of showing their soap operas, etc.
My answer, as politely as I can muster, will be, “Because there’s a tropical storm (or hurricane) that’s right off our coast.”
Seems pretty self-explanatory to me.

Congrats on being an AOL Journal Guest Editor Pick. Sounds like you have your hands full with the hurricanes.
