No one here believes that's the reason....
They told me I was a troublemaker...
Have you noticed the whole world keeps sending you this or another very similar message?
Will there come a point where you'll actually give it some consideration...?

But when I inspected the towers for Rock/Fox11 and their AM in St. Albans, we backed away from the table because we were concerned about the tower's stability. I notified the former GM but never heard back from him... They eventually replaced the AM tower, I understand.... Mother nature took care of the FM/Fox 11 tower.... Most of us remember that collapse...
Radio station managers seem to make a living cutting corners... Sometimes those cuts bite them in the a$$......
I was told by a former KECR employee that their insurance claims manager found the paperwork with my warnings and my termination and refused to pay the claim... What bothers me most is that the station is a listener supported religious station.... While people are sending in their money "for God's work" stupid station managers cost the company HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS because they refuse to mow the brush....
Yet another know it all with all the knowledge in the world letting it waste away in the hills of West Virginia. As it happens I was Assistant Chief at WVAH when the tower collapsed and it was shortly after the tower had been modified, at great expense, to accept the new digital antenna. I am truly amazed at how some people can claim to know everything and yet really know nothing.

Hang out here for awhile. You'll see so much of that it will cease to amaze you. You'll go through a few stages...
Truly Amazed
Slightly Annoyed
Marginally Flabbergasted
Somewhat Frustrated
Terribly Amused
Then you will begin to see some real golden nuggets of knowledge, experience, wisdom, and thought. The good stuff is well worth weeding through the bullshit.
Also, if you are like me, you are provided ample opportunities to be a smart ass. Smartassery is like heroine to me. It's totally addictive and will one day kill me.
LOL! Maybe he meant a heroine. Or maybe he's had too much OJ vegetation and thought he was spelling it right.
I would like to be the female Arp and slap everybody that doesn't use spell check. But there's not enough time in the day. I realized my resume is so much smaller than Hallburn's and have to meet more people and get more jobs. Or just fake it.
