Schfifty-Five


My wife showed me this strange animated video called Schfifty-Five.

I'm not sure I really get it, or why it's funny, or if it's really funny...but today I turn schfifty-five, and I guess that's the only reason it is appropriate or relevant!

Nothing New...That's The Problem


It always amazes me when I see how many people have stopped by this site....especially since I go through long periods where I don't write anything!

I know some people are just following a link and end up here, maybe for only a moment, and then they move on...some may actually take the time to read something they see here...and then they move on.

I know there are some who check in occasionally to see wut up, and they must think "dang, Ralphie, wut up?!"

Well, right now there is just nothing interesting going on.

My personal life isn't very interesting...now or usually! My meds are keeping me level, my wife makes me laugh, my sisters makes me crazy and my work makes me sad...sometimes mad...sometimes mad and sad and quite often bored! (remember, I am a multi-tasker!)

And speaking of work (oh here it comes) work is still the same, although our ratings did go up this last quarter, (yay!)...sadly, the DJ's pay did not, (boo!). Perhaps if 5 years ago after Laura Ellen died the management had not stopped all promotions and advertising of the station and festivals and t-shirts...well, maybe our ratings wouldn't have gotten so low to begin with. Even with this new rating, I can't help but feel the station is circling the drain....and the new management does nothing to give any indication to the contrary...I mean, would it have killed them to at least send out an email/memo letting the on air staff know that we had a good book this quarter? You know, "good job guys, keep up the great work" ... I never saw such a memo, and if I wasn't here every day, I don't know how I would have heard about it...OH, and by the way...when the ratings are down, it's the DJ's fault...but when they go up, it's managment's success...nothing builds morale like being told you suck! That's how all radio seems to work!

So there...aren't you glad I took the time to bring you this update?!

I really will try to have a little more presence here, but life just gets so dang busy...and boring. Even I'm dozing off right now....

Zzzzzzzz
