Sunny day update

Hope everybody is enjoying their day. We had the grandchildren over. They brought their parents.

Good news for Rittman: This weekend's edition of the Northeastern Wayne Edition of The Post has a front page story about the former location of the Rittman IGA. There will be a new grocery store in it's place hopefully by the end of the month. It will be an independent family owned operation. If they can listen to the community and keep their prices reasonable then maybe they will be around for a long time.

In the meantime stores like Dollar General and Family Dollar have done a commendable job of filling some of the void that was created when the IGA closed their doors in November.

May sweeps; its coming- We will hear in the next 10 days who's cheating who, where your bottled water comes from, what's the Colonels 11 herbs and spices are, and the date of the Apocalypse. And those of us who look at the television forums are seeing debates heating up. One word of advice from somebody who isn't much of a news junkie(I watch it, but I don't obsess over it. I never thought about going into television. I have a face for radio.)

As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted by myself. My word of advice is space out your thoughts. Some of us have ADD like symptoms, and get overwhelmed with such long messages.

Sometimes I think that people believe they have to write long essays when they get on the forums.

Post 800: Time to chat

Hi Guys, It's hard to believe that this is post number 800 for this blog. I started this blog out of my desire to communicate. Since radio and television is becoming more and more automated and less and less personal, I'm glad I made the decision to go in this direction as it has given me many blessings. When I first decided to write my musings, a friend from the radio and television boards who goes by the name of newsnomore, told me not to be discouraged if I didn't get any readers. The fact that I did in the early going made me surprised and grateful that anyone was enjoying what I wrote. I've had people tell me that maybe it wasn't meant for me to ever be in radio, that maybe my calling was blogging. Nowadays I think blogging makes for better two way conversation than terrestrial radio, especially the way I do it, non confrontational. The closest I come from any confrontation is the innocent digs that Pat and I shoot at each other. On an average day I get betwee...

From a "Battleground State"

I am going to make this one short and sweet. I live in Ohio, in this election season, one of the so called "Battleground states," a state crucial for any candidate presidential hopes. Of course we have had many visits from presidential and vice presidential candidates. Other blogs have dissected both campaigns so I will not. The only questions I have is will the promises made by either of these candidates exclusive to these states be fulfilled, or will they prove only to be hot air?

My job

I have worked at my company for, unofficially, 17 years. When I first started working there in June, 1992, the average work week was 55-57 hours. Sometimes you worked more than that. I was 36 years old at the time and I could handle the long hours and short nights of sleep. 17 years and three knee surgeries later, I need less hours work and more hours sleep. Even moving into a quasi desk job, I still find it difficult to crawl out of bed at 3am. I could get up later if I wanted to put up with both rush hours. But this morning, things will change slightly. I received a call from my department manager yesterday. I was notified that I had to cut my time down to 40 hours. This would be down from 44-45 that I normally work. No surprise there as all the other departments got notified before I was. And I had to split my time between plants, doing calibrations at the other shop 1-1/2 days a week. I'm actually looking forward to the change. I also like the prospect of getting an hour extra...
