Thanks!

Actually one good thing did happen with the Internet station I run at Live365. It became the #1 station in the 80s genre last month!

It was part of that post.

Thank you!

I've posted in a few threads, including one about how I lost my dream job. Maybe that was too much info?

More rain!

I might as well share my story.

Ever since I was a kid, I knew I wanted to work in radio. But I have disabilities and I can't drive. The Mesquite Schools in Mesquite, TX started their own radio station when I was in middle school in 1984. When I was a sophomore in 1986, I started spending time at the station as a student DJ. I spent three years as a student DJ with them until graduating high school in 1989.

In 1990, they hired me as a part-timer, and thus my childhood dream became a reality. I spent 10 years with the station as a part-timer, and they finally promoted me to full-time in 2000. In 2003 they promoted me again to Music Director and I was set! I was working my dream job and loving every minute of it! This is exactly what I wanted to do for the rest of my career!

Funny how fast love turns to hate! in 2008, my long-time boss retired. Upper management pulled a fast one on me by redefining my entire job duties. I was not expecting this! They basically wanted to pull me off of everything I enjoyed doing, and stick me behind a desk all day to maintain the station's public inspection file. I hated every bit of what they did to me and I could not believe it was happening.

I did not handle this unexpected change well at all, and it affected my behavior to the point that I ultimately lost the job in October of 2008. It's been almost 6 years since and my heart is still broken. All the other radio stations in this area are too far away from me to even consider even trying to become a volunteer.

Sadly, I will spend the rest of my life on SSDI. Now those of you who browse my profile will note that it says I am a small business owner. What I am actually doing is running my own Internet radio station with Live365. It makes very little money, but at least it keeps me happy!

Indeed we did!

I see. Thanks!

I'm new here and I have a question about these forums. I notice a lot of threads have a part # in the thread title. I'm curious, what's that all about?

I have a face for radio, can'tcha tell?

Where's the "like" button? That's sage advice.

As others have already said, no, you are not ugly. Be confident about yourself, and you'll find the right person.

I called a radio DJ when I was a teenager, and he put my call on the air! I wasn't expecting that one!

Been down that road MANY times in my life. You just have to keep trying!
