news. digging up, writing, reporting. i had a couple dj shifts too.. my favorite was on the oldies station. we only play 50s and 60s on that one.. it's legitimate oldies. the library is over 2,100 songs. (our music director is the rainman of music.. he has every album of every artist that's ever been on any billboard chart ever. since 1896. on its original format, cd, and mp3.. and he knows them all. but he's literally a genius. he should be mensa, but he doesn't see the point.) i just got tired of it, though. they hired me at 14 (hello labor laws) to do some basic board running.. during games, etc.. but on like, my second day, my boss was like. ok. your voice is too good for this. and gave me an air shift. lucky for me, a couple months later their PM news director quit.. i was there that day, did the broadcast. filled in "temporarily" every day - including holidays - for 5 years. in high school, the principal gave me a permission thing to leave school at 1 to go to work, and get A credits for 2 classes. (on my transcript and grade card, they show up as "office attendant" and guidance something or other.. but hey, free gpa boost and a paycheck, i'll take it.) it was pretty awesome, but i got tired of it. well, tired of the town i was living in, anyway. i dunno.. i'd go back to radio probably, but it's not a passion anymore. and around here, stations are so cut-throat. they'll call you while you're on air at your current station and be like ..hey. we think we might have a job you'd be interested in. that's some bullshit. or maybe i'm too loyal. i still do voiceover stuff for a couple stations where i have friends and PA for a ladies' basketball tournament held every year here. that's fun.. i like that stuff.

does your place use SS32/voicetrax? i noticed you were talking mp3, and i know ss32 uses mp2 and wav... but there are so many other programming schedulers. or did you record it, burn it, rip it? (i'm too impatient for that.. minidiscs are my bitches if i can't just edit on the computer.)

Sorry it's taken me ages to reply

the mp3 sounds intriguing! I'll "contact" you And I say, nuttin' wrong with being metro. I'm impressed btw, I rarely brush my hair let alone purchase and use "product"

Hmm, snow, well, we've got 26" of base, not much yet but gettin' there...Sunshine doesn't make snow (but they sure move it around a lot) so it can get icy (and rocky and tree-ey ) but some snow is better than no snow...Louise makes snow therefore is not my favourite and they don't get as much of the white stuff all around...when does it really start dumping over there?

Thx for complimenting my pix...you are truly too kind. Hope all is well with you!!
