And I certainly did not expect.

I mean, I was blindsided.

I did not expect that that was going to happen.

I had already survived like six or seven bosses.

I was always the put me in coach, like go do.

And I was really good at my job.

I did.

I was not expecting it.

But now that I look back, I can go, oh, yeah, OK, that's that's part of what that was.

I was working with an agent.

I had him send some tapes out.

But at that point, I was really excited about going out on my own and kind of doing this thing and picking myself, like hiring myself, because I really wanted to do uplifting and positive news.

And I think I was branded in the industry as, oh, she's a really strong breaking news anchor who we've watched on CNN and

from nine to noon for the last, I don't know, 10 years, whatever.

So that would be, I was going to try to get to CBS or ABC.

I think that's what they would see me as.

I couldn't really show up there and go, Hey, I think you should do uplifting and positive news.

And I want to be the one to do it.

That was going to be a hard sell.

So instead I made up the job and I gave it to myself.
