Notes for Tuesday

My later starting time at work had me wondering this morning if everybody else thought that sitting in traffic, waiting to go through an intersection seemed way longer than three minutes doing other things?

I would like to thank everybody for all of their kind comments on the last post, especially those who wrote poems in my honor.

My favorite morning show hosts now have their very own website. Check out WynnandWilson.com. Make a comment if you feel lead to do so.

Long time readers here know my disdain for some local traffic reports. Now another service, Metro networks, has decided to do most of their reports in this region from a hub in Detroit. If you want to know how this may work, do a Mapquest of a route familiar to you. This is what happened to me yesterday. I had to go to a rental place to put a deposit on a sound system for my company picnic. I used an internet map service(they shall remain nameless since they own Blogger). I thought this may be a quicker route than the one I was familiar with. I was wrong and getting stuck in traffic with a full bladder isn't the best feeling you can have. Now getting back to the traffic reports, I will stick with the live and locally owned stations who have their own traffic reporters, thank you.

My thoughts for my coming Sunday Musing are going towards organization and procrastination.

Have a tremendous day!

hey congrats on ur 1000 post man....good deal.

down here they generate a traffic report if four cars show up at the same stoplight at the same time!!! lol (san angelo IS a small town)

you get more than 6 cars on the loop at the same time and the state police show up to see whats going on... lol

i have a 6 mile drive to work in the mornings. i leave the house at about 5:55 or 6 - - if i pass more than 1 car i panic cuz i'll get stuck in a jam somewhere! lol

i could go on..but you get the idea...

keep up the fine blog cliff - - i like stopping by.....

Rich: Thank's for commenting again. I know you've been reading but I've missed your responses.

Now if they could send Jetcopter 760 over 77 between 3:30 and 4:00pm, I might start listening. Just cover the area between 490 and the turnpike.

But seriously, OMW told me via email that a couple of producers from Cleveland will be making the move to Detroit. That and other technology may help make it seamless.

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...
