I've Been Awarded

During my brief hiatus, I was notified by Michelle Dawn, of Rusin Roundup fame, that she had an award for me. So in her own words:"I have created the Through Thick and Thin Award This goes to all of my blogging friends who have stood by me no matter how negative or positive I get on my blog and that means so much to me."

And on awarding me she said, "Cliff has been a great resource of humor and advice or just positive hang in there comments."

Michelle Dawn created this award to commemorate post number 250 of her blog. Go on over and congratulate her on the milestone.

Cliff Note: Thanks for all the comments on the "Pardon me for a couple of days" post. It has become my personal policy to post here if I might be away from my blog for more than a day. Since August, 2006, the longest I've been away has been a week, and even when I went on vacation to Florida in November, 2007, I managed to access a computer twice. I have some of the best blogging friends in the world and I don't want to worry anyone by my absence, even if it's only for a few days.

Congratulations Cliff .. you are very deserving of such an award.

Funny, my Word Verification is "priess", I guess if you take the "s" of, it would read, "pries" ... because of late I have been delving, digging, exploring, probing ... I wonder what all that mean?

Oh gee, got of the subject. ;) ... again Congratulations!

This is nice Cliff, and well deserved! I'm glad your audit is done (whew!) and went well. Audits are never fun. (Unless you're masochistic....)

Congratulations Cliff!

I've been reading Liquid's blog and have noted how supportive you were to her, and all the tribute posts you've done in her honor here. Now I see that you have a "Through Thick and Thin Award." It sounds like a special award, and you sound like a special fellow!

"Cliff Note" Now that's cute & funny.

What a fun looking award -- and a great theme. I know a few people I could award that to.... the loyalty of loved ones is a gift not to be trifled with!

Congrats!

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...
