Things That Are Bothering You, Got You All Hibbeldy-Jibbeldy, or just downright pissed, RIGHT NOW!

I did one of those nasal rinses last night and it seems that I got some water trapped in one of my Eustachian tubes. **** I hope it doesn't get infected. Anybody know how to get the water out of there?

yeah open your mouth, close your eyes, and vigorously shake your head until the water comes out.

Galveston actually. But in effect yea, Houston stations. I was hoping the Zone just switched stations from 106.9 (for whatever reason), but their website isn't coming up

i'm trying to hire for a tricky position and i have three very strong in many respects but all imperfect in their own ways candidates. i'm jumping in with one of them but i have a nagging suspicion this isn't going to work out. the whole thing is irritating me immensely.

Let's face it, the station was OK in like 1993 but by 1999 it was totally worthless and annoying.

another reason to love bmore, all the great radio stations /sarcasm

thats the problem. the guy i need to cut is a better person, and i like him more. but since we are going to have a slim staff i need someone with strong skills in a few diferent areas, and he does not have them. the other guy is ok, but not as good a dude, has far better skills in 2 important areas. so yes sometimes sadly nice guys finish last. fak.

You a fan of The Big Fat Morning Show? Cleveland sucks for radio. On clear days you can get The River which broadcasts out of DET.

sadly that is true.

ill try. hes not a highly employable fellow outside of manual labor. i did finally convince him tp go back to school though. he is a pretty smart if unedgucated guy. hes in a trade shcool now to be an electrician. i really really hope he sticks with it and finishes up so he can get a real job that makes actual money.

I will submit my resume for consideration, that will solve your issue.

well the deed is done. i informed the entire staff (individually) of the required cut backs. they kind of knew it was coming and it went quite well actually. but i still hate doing this. **** me.

 

[Geoffrey Firmin]

Being a sub contractor and as such being dependant upon the whims and ******* idiots employed by the accounts department who ensure that once again I am not paid. I have learnt my lesson and will not work for this mob again. And now I have to go and beg in a polite manner and listen to their piss poor excuses about why they did not pay me.
