NPR, continuing ed, etc.

Most faithful readers already know that when it comes to Juneau, there's not much here that I feel Juneau does well. There was one area where they even surpassed Homer. Because I am who I am, it was an important thing, too. Juneau was home to 100.7 radio station that kicked ass. I loved the music they played and the deejays were great. Yes, it was piped in from Outside, but that was okay.

In the middle of December I read an article. NPR was going to take over two additional stations. Yes, one of them was my beloved 100.7. Why in the hell does NPR, you know that icon of radio that our tax dollars support, need three stations in Juneau, Alaska? Obviously the deejays are hacks at best. The music makes my fucking ears bleed. And my tax dollars and your tax dollars pays for such complete garbage.

So, I lost the one good thing Juneau had. I lost my music. I've tried the new station(s). They suck. There is one rock station, that is commercial, but it's heavy rock. Thanks NPR, for nothing. I think it's safe to assume that when it comes time for pledge week calling me wouldn't be a wise choice. No, you get my tax dollars to bombard the airwaves with your hack deejays, shit music, and wobbly waves. You aren't getting another penny from me. Your format sucks.

So, I'm spending my time taking a few continuing ed classes. I've completed three so far and I'm working on two more. They're good for me.

On July 1st, the hospital becomes a no smoking on campus hospital. They ask me at work what I plan to do. I tell them the truth...quit. But I'm just never clear if I mean quit smoking or quit my job. It's fun to screw with their minds. Most of the time it's not much of a challenge though. So, what do I really mean? Will I quit smoking or quit my job? Honestly? I don't know yet.

Now you know why I'm not blogging. Not much is going on. Very little. Damned little.
