Some notes....

The company I interviewed for last week passed up on one of the best candidates, as they informed me that I did not get the job. This means something better is waiting for me elsewhere. Furthermore, I'm not feeling sorry for myself yet.

We are still down to one car, as the WIXYmobile is getting some major transmission work. I should have it back by the end of the week.

About the Kmart liquidation: Kmart does not control the prices at the stores which are having the going out of business sales. There is a liquidation company which controls the pricing. My daughter had informed me of that and the local Fox affiliate ran a story on their news last night confirming that.

Catch me here in the next couple of days, as I tell about my latest treasure from Goodwill.

I always believe that if something doesn't work out.. it's for the better... It's very consoling and makes more sense to take this philosophy than to get angree/upset/disappointed...
Sorry you didn't get the job you interviewed for but I am sure that something better is waiting in the wings...
Cheers,
Leese

Word verification for this comment is BLESS!! That's a sign!!

Oh do tell about your goodwill treasures. I am a thrift store junkie! Every time we go through a new town I beg my husband to stop at the thrift shops. Some of my favorite days are spent rummaging through store after store. I really believe it's the thrill of the hunt!

Hey Cliff - this time last year I was in your same shoes... my business had crashed.... I'd had no income for months and months and months.... and felt like I was in the "desert" as far as looking for jobs went. But I found a good job, and you will too! I know it! Hang tough, and this "chapter" in your life will be closed before you know it... good things lie ahead!

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

Sometimes Sports are Just Sports

 This may or may not make the final cut of my book. I was writing about some events this weekend and what had started as a joyous Friday night at my home school district became a weekend of heartbreak in the area after what happened at another school. Sometimes We Need to Realize That Sports are Just Games   Friday nights in late summer and early fall are sometimes a big deal for high school students and their families. As the long-time band announcer for my local high school, it is a time of year I always look forward to. This past Friday night was originally supposed to be the homecoming game for the local high school. The schedule had to be changed a bit because of the uncertainty of the opponents being able to field a team. There was talk around the league that they may have had to forfeit this game, so homecoming for the local school was rescheduled. The opponents, which are rivals of my local school district, were able to field a team and the game was played. The game was

Lawson's Chip Dip

On a couple of occasions I have written posts dedicated to Lawson's, a convenience store chain that was located in Ohio for close to 50 years. In the late 1980's the chain was bought out by Dairy Mart, of Engfield Ct. Dairy Mart was then purchased by Alimentation Couche-Tard, and most stored were rebranded Circle K. Something that has survived the years since Lawson's has left the landscape is Lawson's Chip Dip. I get many hits on this blog from people out of Ohio, I'm thinking former Buckeyes, looking for availability of this chip dip. I had gotten an email from a former resident of Cleveland looking for it. I emailed Circle K about this sometime ago asking if it was possible to send the dip out to those out of state, they said because of quality issues that it was not possible. My only suggestion would be to get in touch with Circle K in your home area and ask them to start stocking this very popular item that seems to make every get-together complete. Now we wil
