An up and down week

So where do I begin? Well, this week definitely had it's share of up and down moments. On Monday I woke up energized and ready for a very busy week at work. All kinds of things going on from district hockey games, spring hockey league planning, the zamboni/union transition, that's been a huge topic at work. I'm slowly becoming public enemy #1 in the eyes of many union members. What's sad is they'll never see the benefit this transition could mean to the city, and oh yeah, no one will get laid off as a result of the change. I think there was a new president that got sworn in on Tuesday, that's been all over the news and radio. But the my biggest surprise came on Tuesday evening, I found out that my favority radio station, 1130 am, laid off all of it's main staff, including all personalities. I can't express enough how shocked I was to find this out. As silly as it sounds, when you listen to talk radio, you get to know the personalities, and they become a part of your daily routine. Not only did I listed to this station in the morning and on the drive to work, but I listened frequently while at work as well. Ok, insert a joke here, at times it distracted me at work and I might haven't been the most productive, but it keeps me going and laughing throughout the day. It's good to laugh often. So little did I know that Tuesday at 12pm that the station would be pink-slipping all of it's staff. I didn't even listed to the last show because I was busy at work. I heard through a friend at work who knew someone at this radio station that the station director came in at 12pm, no notice, and handed pink-slips to everyone. No severnce, no notice, nothing. In these crazy times it's sad to think that something like this could happen. It makes me appreciate my job a little more each day, and to work hard, every day, and bust my ass at everything I do. I hope everyone at the station lands on their feet somewhere else in the area, because they were great at what they did.
