I'm going to be on TV!


A major project we are doing here is called Community Mapping, and is a little bit like a census. In order to publicize it, a local television station came into the BNTF to interview a few of the coordinators. Apparently my boss thought it would be good to get one of the interns face out in the public eye.

Just a few words of caution. I had no idea that I was going to be interviewed and had just walked into the office from a rainstorm, so my hair (and poof) may not be the best. Second, I did the interview while being watched by boss, so if I come across as a little robotic or too serious it's only because I was nervous of screwing up and wanted want to make sure I represented the organization well. It's probably for the best though, if he wasn't there I probably would have tried to sneak in a few fart and boner jokes.

You can watch online. I think it will be airing on Friday, but I will update the blog when I find the exact times.

UPDATE: It will air on Friday, June 26th at 7:00 pm.

  2. I was checking out your blog and came across the "I'm Not a Girl" post and I had to say... I'm sooorrrryyy. The entire time I was reading your posts and I had a girl's voice in my head (maybe it was my voice, I'm not sure). But yeah, good for you!!! I believe I have been caught on TV a couple of times in my past too!! (You know, the pedestrians... and one of those ppl who look up, look back down, shakes head: NO COMMENT, stumble away as fast as possible). I wish I can find those snippets of myself on TV too =)

  4. ps you sounded really professional, this project sounds like a massive initiative. Is your organization working solely on this?
