Your World Delivered, but defective

I was having some problems with the WIXY/at&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam. You see, some of my keypad numbers didn't press too easily. My biggest problem was one of the numbers was "1" and I don't know any language but English.

So I call the at&t(formerly Cingular) 800 number for warranty service and was put through all the trouble shooting routines. I was informed that I would be getting a replacement phone within five business days. It come in three-so far so, good.

This re manufactured at&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam didn't come with a battery or battery cover, so I took the battery out of my old WIXY/at&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam and put it in the new one along with my Sim card.

Things were going well with my re manufactured WI-you know, when the display shown when the phone is closed started going berserk. I stopped that and went to bed. This morning I went to use the phone and the keys were locked. I can receive calls but I can't send them.

The good folks at the new at&t(formerly Cingular) were nice to me and are sending me another phone. when I get home after work, I will get the old WIXYat&t(formerly Cingular)phone cam out of the box I was supposed to mail it back in and use that until I get my next one. Lets hope I have better luck.

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...
