Counting the Days

So, I think I may start counting how many days the co-host will have the "I don't want you to go Live for an hour a day, 5 days a week, b/c it'll tie up a studio...plus here's a lot more excuses" brick wall up. I'm going to guess maybe another few weeks or so, or maybe until I find a new job, who knows. Or maybe my sales peep that I've talked to will be able to have some sponsors (or even just one sponsor) interested in the Lunch Request idea, so the days may shorten.

I know, you shouldn't go behind your co-host/kind-of boss' back when it comes to almost everything...but he did say that if it was sponsored, I could do the Lunch Request from 12pm-1pm. So I guess, I'm not really going behind his back, I'm just getting the ball possibly rolling and doing some research, no harm there. Some may think that going around him will get me in trouble, so why do you think I've only talked to one sales person, plus she's going to casually bring up the idea as a hypothetical situation. As my dad said, if I get a sponsor, what excuses can the co-host really use.

When we sort-of discussed the idea again today, the co-host still listed off his same lame excuses, which in turn I had more backing and responses/solutions to the "problems" he came up with. Even then, he still didn't want to hear it, so I ended up just sitting and answering with one word answers, but inside I just wanted to scream, "Why are you so against this idea? Why do YOU not want me to do this?" I knew if I asked these questions, it would probably rile him up and he would take his anger out at me some way. It just saddens me a little that someone who has helped me with lots of stuff this year with my on-air skills, and who I thought was starting to become a friend, has decided to turn out to act like a complete di**head, jacka**, who for some reason wants to crush hopes, dreams and good ideas that may make the station a tad bit better. Why he's acting like this, I really don't know, but I am just sad for him...even though, at first (up til even yesterday morning before church) I wanted to string him upside down and continousely through snowballs at him, while having little kids hit him with wiffle bats, and then the occassional kick to the groin. Now though, I have become just sad and confused with him. So instead of getting angry, I'm solving the "situation" myself--I'm finding a way to get things going. If I can't have the station streaming online, then just give me my Request Lunch.

I hopefully will be able to carry out my mission, but if I don't, I leave me full music collection to my blog friends, I leave my electronics to my siblings, and my clothes to my friends back home. Other stuff may be divided amongst my family and close friends. :)
