Another post from whattville

Cliff Note: This whatville post is dedicated to the anti-hero of my blog, WTAM/1100 afternoon host Mike Trivisonno. And please read this to the end.

Cliff Note 2:By proclamation of the mayor an extra "t" has been added to the spelling of Whattville. This has taken effect on June 15, 2008. Please make a note of this.

He's in Ohio
Where I come from
And a whole lot of people
Think he is scum

He rants and raves
They think it is funny
He makes his station
Boat loads of money

Triv has his interns
And Rado
And Marty
They all have fun
It sounds like a party

He'll eat on the air
He'll chomp
And he'll slurp
And when he is finished
He'll let out a burp

We want to hear traffic
And weather
And sports
But Triv will just tell us
We can just eat his shorts

He talks about Rado
And all of his bits
He talks of his wife
And her real nice hospitality

With some of his content
We don't think should pass
Triv will just tell us
To kiss his 29 number one books

Me being a nice guy
I want to tell you a fact
This surly curmudgeon
Is only an act

His fussing
His fuming
His making us shout
While doing his business
He helps people out

Sometimes when he's funny
He raises some money
To help youth in a snow storm
By keeping them warm
He lines up the acts
And puts coats on their backs

But on this June day
I just want to say
Bad feelings don't hover
And you shouldn't judge
A book by it's cover

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...
