Post Mortem

Maybe I went a little overboard, but I proved a point. Few people care who I am, but many care what I do. As JimOhio would say, I punk'd a whole lot of people in the past 24 hours. I got three responses from Clear Channel computers telling me to get over it. I was over it after Triv cut me off the other day, now you guys "get over" to the kitchen and get the talent a cup of coffee and a roll.

My only regret is I may have lost some friends at the Listening Party. But as Tim has stated, I didn't kill it. Apathy did. I wasn't looking for my fifteen minutes as it was stated today. I was just trying to ruffle some feathers. I apologize to anyone I offended.

A lot of times there it's the same old same old. I enjoy discussing other things, but those usually die on the vine. Someone might try to discuss some music format. Jim gets on and posts "no one here listens to that." Then the Jim bashing begins, instead of the post being ignored.

If you want something else to be discussed then bring something else up. If you complain about the discussion and don't try to introduce something else then you're part of the problem.

If I was a CC employee, I would be very nice to their IT people. If I can track it to their company, think of what the company geeks could do.

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...
