Short week short cuts

Labor Day has passed so please put away the white shoes and lower the gasoline prices. Price of gas jumped 20 cents a gallon last week. Went down .05 and then up another 10 cents. Give me a break. I drive 46 miles one way to work.

The blog, Media Matters is updated again. Two new and insightful posts have written in the past week. Feel free to comment, let the students know how you feel about the issues this dedicated instructor has brought to light. The students aspire to become the media of tomorrow. Help them out by telling them how you feel.

Remember my wife, Kathy tomorrow, as she goes in for arthoscopic knee surgery. If you are one of my several prayer warrior friends, this occurs at 9:00am(EDT). We're hoping that this will be the extent of what she needs for now. St. Thomas Hospital in Akron, where the procedure is being done, is an excellent facility.

This weekend, the Rittman Indians Marching Band will be performing at the St. Vincent-St. Mary band festival. Try as I may, I have no idea who else is going to be there. Besides St.V-St.M, of course. So downtown Akron will get a taste of the loudest announcer in Northeast Ohio(tm).

Remember, school is back in session. Drive carefully.

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...
