Bored
I'm sitting at my desk at work bored out of my mind. I've already finished all of my work until I hit the air at 2:00 so I figured I'd write in here a bit since I've been majorly neglecting it. Of course, I know the two or so of you who read this thing are really sick and tired of waiting for updates. LOL
I went to Indianapolis a couple of weeks ago for an overnight stay. It was a great time, checking out downtown and all. There's so much to do there, I wish I had more time to explore. I loved eating dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe on Meridian Street on Saturday night. I talked to some of the people there and found out that one of the bar tenders was going to transfer to the Hard Rock Beach Club in Choctaw (I was on the opening staff) and was really pissed when he found out that it was being closed. Emmis Communications has their home office/Indianapolis cluster in a building right on the Circle. I would love to do radio in a place like that someday. Anyway, I called it an early night and the next day I went to the Red Eye Cafe (best coffee I've ever had!) and then I went to an Indianapolis Indians game. FYI, they're a AAA team for the Pirates.
While I was there I bought a journal at the Borders in downtown Indy. I've done a little writing in there but not a whole lot. Well, until last night... I wrote two pages of stuff, one of which was a poem. I'm not sure if I'll post it here but I guess anything's possible. I know I've never posted any of that stuff here but it's because it's deeply personal stuff and I don't want just anyone to see it (no offense). I might get up the nerve to post it and let some comments be made about it. Keep watching... we shall see.
Life has been very complicated for me. The obvious relationship troubles mentioned in previous posts is one thing but there's just a ton of confusion for me in other areas. Sometimes I really wonder how well my station is going to do in the ratings. Radio is a strange business; you live and die by Arbitron, which sometimes means you can get fucked because 20 people out of a possible 2000 people in your demographic returned useable ratings diaries and they didn't fall in your favor. It's all a numbers game and it sucks... do well, you have a job. Do poorly, you're in line for cheese. Don't get me wrong, I love this business and I really couldn't see myself doing anything else. But the no job security thing really makes one uneasy sometimes.
I guess I should find some work to do. I'm sure I've overlooked something. Hope you have a great day and feel free to make a comment or two.
