And the Madness Goes On and On.....
O.K. I guess I shouldn't complain. I'm going to be getting $600 extra dollars a month. But the sacrifice of even more sleep should have made me pause and at least think about what the heck I'm doing. What am I doing.....oh yeah....working too many hours for too little pay. But, I'm told that if I stick it out...and work hard enough....I'll eventually get downsized without the benefit of social security to pick up the slack. Hmmm....Ok...so back to the original reason for this post. I've gotten a new news position at WSAE, the school's radio station. I love doing it....but I have to get up at 4:30 in the morning...and when you're used to staying up until 4:45....that's -15 minutes of sleep. I'm not exactly sure on the quantum physics involved or what the effects on the Space-Time Continuum will be.....but I'm pretty sure that it's not good. :)

I have worked 24 out of the last 48 hours and I've come to realize........I'm a very jaded person. I like to think of myself as optomistic...but hey....sometimes work sucks. My bosses don't appreciate me. And when they say they do....I know it's a lie. Sometimes I wonder why I try so hard for so little in return. Is it for the internal satisfaction of knowing I did a good job? Is it just a way to pass the time? Is it to please those that love me? All I really know is I have two jobs...go to school full time...try to lead worship every Wednesday evening at church...spend time with my fiance...and try to find a few minutes to rest in between.

Isn't It supposed to be the "Lazy Days" of Summer?
Ok, so I've finally come to realize, I'm never going to get any rest or relaxation....ever. All I want is to have one or two days a week where I don't have to do anything. Where I can just sit around and do nothing. But it's always something. Call this person, Pay this bill, Run this errand, Try and fit 26 hours of work into 24 hours of day. I just wish I could have a job that paid me enough that I only had to work one job instead of two,and not that I've made a commitment to work harder on my music (I write and play worship music), And the desire that I have to put on a concert to help VH1 Save the Music (I don't even know where to begin!), things are only going to get worse. On top of that I lead the Wednesday evening worship service. Talk about sleep deprivation. The problem is that I don't work that much during the week, but mostly on the weekends, so it feels like I'm working 7 days a week. And some weeks I do. Is it too much to ask for a set schedule? It doesn't even have to be 9-5, but something that's set so I can at least get on some kind of schedule. and one more thing...these late Friday night games...and then having to do the news Saturday morning.....sucks!!!

The Joy's of Housesitting!
Ok, So I'm staying at one of the professors houses for the next two weeks. It's pretty simple. I get 100 bucks to give his dog 1 hot dog, 1 slice of ham, and some kibble, and to let him outside every few hours. Plus, cable tv, laundry, and air conditioning. It's a joy. But anyway. It does put a serious cramp in my style. Now, I've got to drive into Jackson every other day to make sure my Dad hasn't passed into the unknown, and I've got to sleep in my professor's bed for two weeks! Tell me, Is there anything creepier than sleeping in someone's bed who has the power to give you an F? And one more thing....this guy has no food! I mean it...there's nothing. I'm gonna have to go home and get some mac and cheese or something to tide me over till I get paid tomorrow. I do like the flat screen tv though, and Direct TV. Anyway, it's a sweet deal, even with the lack of food.

Speaking of Sleep Deprivation....Last night I had to babysit the transmitter at work. Boring...but at least I'm getting paid to sit around and push buttons. Like I said earlier, a trained monkey could do this job. I'm now falling into a deep slumber induced by about 48 hours of no sleep. My eylids are falling down as we speak. We are trapped...They are coming...The drums...They are coming..............

Hi...I'm a friendly Nigerian Banker...
Ok....Another threshold has been crossed. Another boundary been broken. Another Item of today's culture has seriously pissed me off. Have you gotten Emails that contains something like this?
THE PROPOSITION:
A foreigner, late Mr Grahams Peterson, an Oil
Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Govenment of
Nigeria, until his death three years ago in a ghastly
auto crash, banked with us here at International Trust
Bank Plc, Lagos, and had a closing balance of
USD$21.5M ( Twenty-One Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars only) which the bank now
unquestionably expects to be claimed by any of his
available foreign next of kin or alternatively be
donated to a discredited trust fund for arms and
ammunition at a military war college here in Nigeria.
Fervent valuable efforts are being made by the Bank to
get in touch with any of the Peterson family or
relatives but all have proved to no avail. It is
because of the perceived possibility of not going to
be able to locate any of late Mr Grahams Peterson's
next of kin (he had no known wife and children) that
the management under the influence of our Chairman,
Board of Directors, Retired Major General Kalu Uke
Kalu, that an arrangement for the fund to be declared
"UNCLAIMABLE" and then be subsequently donated to the
Trust Fund for Arms and Ammunition which will further
enhance the course of war in Africa and the world in
general.
It's a scam. Of cours anyone with half a brain could figure that out. No one would be willing to split any of this "money" with you. If you follow the instructions that come later...the person at the other end wants your bank account number to "wire you the money." Of course that's the exact opposite of what happens. Your bank account very quickly would be drained of any and all funds. It just really pisses me off the depths to which society has willingly lowered themselves to.

Ok...So I don't drink beer. But I am going to go sing Karaoke this evening after going swimming with my beautiful fiance...Jessica. This is one of the few things that I do to unwind. I should probably try to find an open mic night somewhere close by, but I'm pretty sure that the closest one is in Ann Arbor, and while It's not that Far Away...and Gas prices are dropping, I just don't have the cashflow right now. Speaking of cashflow...I now have less hours at work, due to the 2004 NBA Champion Detroit Pistons. Let me explain...I board op for sports games at the radio station I work at. We broadcast the games and play local commercials. But with the NBA season offically over, I now only have MLB and NASCAR to board op. That gives me about 1 game and 1 race a week between myself and the 3 other board ops. I have more free time...which is nice...but I really would like more hours at work. Between both jobs I'm barely getting 40 hours a week, and the school only pays once a month. So if you could keep me in your prayers...it would be greatly appreciated.
Blame CANADA!!!
http://invadecanada.us
I found this awesome site on another's blog earlier today. I would have to say it's probably the most intelligent and well thought out argument for the invasion of Canada that I've seen. And just because Canada has blessed us with LeBatt's is no reason to forget the horrors of Celine Dion and Bryan Adams. They must be punished for such atrocities against humanity. Everyone is complaining about the horrors of Abu Ghrab (I don't think I spelled that correctly.) prison, but they conveniently forget the assault on our ears being waged by these two "recording artists." And I use that term very lightly. God Bless America...And God Bless the music of a true American....Weird Al Yankovic!!!! Bringing us comedic Satire for over 15 glorious years.

WOMEN IN THE WORKPLACE!!!
I love my job. I really do. But there are days I ask myself...why would anyone really do this??? Why would anyone put up with office politics and deal with a boss who hates you just because you have a penis??? I'm serious. The men at the radio station I work at get the shaft, and have to claw and drag their way into our bosses good graces, while it seems that the females can do nothing wrong. All I try to do is make my few hours of precious air time sound the best it can with the most current Music...but apparently having asspirations of greatness is something frowned upon at this radio station. We Suck At Everything!...WSAE...you know it's pretty bad when even the Station Manager says this about our station...even jokingly. How many men have prominent positions at our station? None! Every prime time spot is taken by women. And when we do ask for more time...we have to beg like dogs. I know you women out there are probably thinking...great...it's about time that you men got a taste of your own medicine...but that's not the case. I'm not a woman hating bigot. I would never try to hold a woman down or give them less pay. All I'm asking for is a little bit of equality in the workplace. I'm all for it. The real problem is not women in the office, I applaud that, I celebrate that. We are all equal and are all talented in different areas. But when your boss constantly comes down on you when all you are trying to do is a better job, well that really sucks. I fill an hour and a half of live air time, three days a week. That's it. The rest of it is voice tracked. The women get 3-4 hours a day monday through friday live, on the peak listening hours. And it's not that they have more experience, or are better qualified. Granted Tonya Lightener is an amazing radio personality. I give her much respect. But when we give our main drivetime show to a woman that is a great person, but has no radio personality whatsoever, I (and I'm not alone) tend to get a little pissed off. All I'm trying to say is this...God has blessed each and every one of us with many different talents. As a manager you should try to get to know each of your staff people very well and utilize those talents to their maximum potential. I know that I'm new to radio, but so is everyone else working at this station.

Wow. I just stubled upon this blog. It's so great that not everyone uses their blog to complain about the world. If you just need a little dose of sunshine, check this blog out.

Even I'm guilty of complaining all the time. Maybe it's because we think that it's funny, or that others will identify with it. but it makes me smile to see someone actually taking the time to make others feel better!

Maybe I should go to bed before 4 in the morning!!!
Call me stupid. Call me insane. But for some reason, I decided to stay awake untill 4 in the morning last night. It was stupid. Maybe not insane...but then again do crazy people know that their crazy? I know it's my own fault. I should have gone to bed at 1, instead of forcing myself to keep my eyelids open for another three hours. It's now 1:20 in the afternoon, and I slept all night on my friend Josh's couch. I'm exhausted. And he has absolutely no food in his apartment. I mean seriously, I'm starving here. You know...even a cruton or two would be nice. My head feels like I've downed a whole bottle of NyQuil. But I don't remember taking any. Maybe I did...or maybe I just need to go to bed at a normal hour. This is gonna be hell this weekend when I have to get up at 5:30 in the morning and go to work. But for some reason I just like staying up later than everyone else. There's something peaceful about the night. No one to argue about what channel to watch. No one to call me and ask, "Are you happy with your long distance carrier?" No one knocks on the door and asks for a ride to the store that's less than two blocks away. No homework due (at least right now) and if there were homework due...It's a lot easier to do in the middle of the night when no one is bothering you. I could still use about 3 more hours of sleep, but I'm going to go pick Jessie up in about 2 hours...so that won't work. She's probably going to yell at me for staying up so late. But you know what...I don't care. I had a good time last night...and I didn't break that many laws. J/K
