Meaningless prattle for the day.

This is bananas. No radio is the worst. I’m gonna just freakin’ pop, man.

 

At least I’ve got a better song going through my head today: “This Could Be Good” by Pugwash.

When I was a roadie and made a mistake, I thought, It’s TERRIBLE that a whole club full of people is right there to see/hear my mistake. Man what pressure!

 

When I was in traffic at PBS affiliates, I thought, It’s TERRIBLE that when I run the wrong promo all these viewers are there to see it and call in about it. (Traffic there deals with mostly promo scheduling).

 

When I came to commercial traffic I learned that it’s the WORST to have a big dollar sign attached to any error.

 

Now I long for the days of ONLY having a roomful of people staring at me while I make a gaffe.

 

And this from a guy who once brought a Willie Nelson/Ray Price show to a complete halt while the director screamed in my headset and the whole room went quiet. Willie and Ray just stared at me.

 

Meaningless prattle for the day…

The test was hard! I was well-prepared. 80 t/f questions, two pages of fill in the blank, and two essay questions. I’m feelin’ like I got a B on this.

Forgot my glasses today. Dang. Stupid tiny, fuzzy letters on this computer…

Great new parenting strategy: Load THEBOY up with cough syrup before sending him to school. Last night he explained that he had a very quiet day. Hey, no timeouts…

New intra-cranial song: “The End” by Buick Mackane.

More, plenty more… I’m almost sure of it… throughout the day as I struggle to keep this silent tedium from scorching my brain cells.
