This has absolutely nothing to do with sports but on Monday night I was anchoring the sportscast. I was in the studio at 10:20 for the sports tease that precedes a comericial break. After the commercial, there are two or three news stories and then we have a short sportscast. After reading the sports tease, I took off my microphone and walked out of the studio, came back to my office and started working the phones for a story that we're trying to get to on Tuesday... In the middle of my phone conversation I hear on the PA system, an assertive call "RYAN TO THE STUDIO, RYAN TO THE STUDIO" I totally lost my head and forgot that I had to do a sportscast after the commercial break... I have no idea what the heck I was thinking.... the call I was making wasn't that urgent where I had to leave the studio but I was so pre-occupied with getting tomorrow's story covered that I completely lost myself... Lone behold, I ran to the studio as fast as I could (which isn't that fast) and literally just made it in front of the camera in time to do the sportscast. Mind you, I was so out of breath I could barely read, and I forgot to button my coat.
It got me to thinking, do you have a simiiar story? Have you ever just lost all concept of what in the world you were doing? Let me know, I love to hear it!
