Happy Monday!  I hope all of you had a great weekend.

Sometimes I think I take for granted the wonderful people I work with every morning.  Today we got into a discussion about a former anchor team in Philadelphia.  The male anchor is facing serious charges after reading his co-anchor’s email hundreds of times.  He allegedly checked her email while he was at work, at home and even while he was on vacation.  Prosecutors claim he was jealous because she was a rising star and she made 100-thousand dollars more a year than he did.  Well, it turns out that her star tarnished quickly.  She had troubles of her own and at one point, was accused of shoving a police officer.  She was fired from the station.  In light of the email controversy, the station managers let the male anchor go, as well. Talk about drama.  It has to be a little strange when your anchor team leads the evening news.

I consider myself so blessed.  Every anchor I’ve ever had has been professional and kind-natured.  Even during the most stressful shows, Dan and I manage to share a few laughs.  We see ourselves as a team and kind of take the approach that…”we’re in this together.”

I know Dan would never read my emails.  If we would, he’d be terribly bored.  I doubt if he cares about ways to get your kids to eat their veggies or the best books for pre-schoolers.  Perhaps some anchor teams could use a few books on professionalism and perspective.
