Silencing the Big Talker
This week's lesson... stop complaining and enjoy.
At the beginning of the week, the talk station that I listened to most suddenly became adult urban R&B, to be exact a simulcast of another staion in that cluster's family. Frist time, I didnt' think anything of it - this station does have a bit of a past for taking a random day off broadcasting. Yesterday, I was disapointed.
So my travels took me to the internet to find that their webpage was taken down, and the rumors had started to fly about what exactly happened. Then around lunch when the Baton Rouge Buisness Report's Daily Report arrived, it shed some light on the situation. Turns out, Corporate dropped the ax on the station, its employees all in the name of ratings and lack of advertising revenue.
The Heisman Run wishes the best to former employees and their families who are now struck with the temporary setback of having to find new employment. The employees were left with two weeks pay, per Daily Report.
News Talk Radio in Baton Rouge will probably never be the same - the other two market players put out a seriously subpar product, especially for local news and issues then they give the rest of the day to the biggest names in national syndication from both sides of the political propaganda aisle.
However, I wouldn't feel this post to be complete without my lesson of the past month...
True Happiness is acheivable. In my case, it has been in the form of marraige. Call it being a newlywed, call it "honeymoon still isn't over" - but I now understand that my goal is to continue to build upon the true happiness and completeness that I have acheived since that special day!

Sorry to hear about the station. I always hated when stations did that. It's like in Airheads when it is discovered that the alternative rock station is switching to adult contemporary or whatever. Total disappointment. That's pretty much why I stopped listening to radio and listen only to CDs and stuff. I still want satellite radio though, just to check it out. Don't you have that? Did you go with Sirius or XM?

OK different topic new comment. Congrats on your recent marriage. It is one of the best decisions I've ever made and I know you will continue to feel the same.
