To start things off my name is Janine. I'm taller then the average man, have an addiction to ketchup chips and will always love show tunes.
Anyways, I took Broadcast Journalism in University with high hopes of being an on-air personality on some TV station in Toronto or Vancouver. Alongside this cushy job I would live in a penthouse apartment in the core of downtown with my handsome, funny and sensitive entrepreneur husband and our french bulldog. Needless to say my life turned out a little differently then I had originally planned.
After working in bars, dressing like a floozy and being hit on night after night by strangers for four years I decided it was time to act on that Broadcasting thing I went to school for. Throughout my time in post secondary, our instructors drilled it into our brains that if we wanted to make it big, we would have to start out small in the middle of nowhere to build our experience. So when I saw a job posting for a radio personality in small town Saskatchewan I knew I had to jump on that opportunity. Two weeks later I packed up my white two door Honda Civic and drove to Rosetown Saskatchewan (population 2000) to start that journey to my penthouse in the big city. Within a week I had received a promotion to morning show co-host in Kindersley and packed up the Civic once again to move my new 'temporary' home.
Fast forward six weeks; I loved my job, was starting to build a social life and was fully adjusted to waking up at 4:00am every morning for work. Then one Saturday night I went bowling with some friends, and that night changed the rest of my life.
Fast forward one year. It was now March 2013, I was 8 months pregnant, just finished working part-time in a grocery store and living in my boyfriends parents basement. Farewell penthouse.
