Northeast Ohio Weather-Go figure

Yesterday I posted about snow on Seek Him First. Today we saw a record high temperature in the Cleveland area. And you know what? My sinuses are rebelling against the drastic change.

It's said that in Northeast Ohio, if you don't like the weather, wait a few minutes and it will change.

Some delayed gratification: Last week, Liquid had written a post in my honor. She had found a photo of a Banana Splits game. She said that she thought about me when she saw it. Of course Liquid was one of the first to associate the "bananas" in the title of this blog with me. At this time, though I have been using the title for sixteen months, which is about four times as long as the promotion went on at WIXY/1260. She has been a very good friend to me and I really appreciate the post.

Another thing I can't say enough about is the friendships among this group of bloggers. I enjoy going to my computer and seeing what one of you are posting about. To me it's one of the best things going on the internet. You are all special, not only the bloggers, but those friends who just stop by to see what we have to say. I can't say that enough either.

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...
