the dangers of comfort

“Re: Holy Community Radio Batman!

Not looking good, man, but nothing personal. There’s just pretty much no slots. Only 4 opened up anyway and none of them jive with your schedule from what I can tell. You still wanna fill in and stuff? Join someone who has a show already? Maybe ensure one of our hosts has an “accident” and opens a new slot…? No, skip that last one.”

Well f. My fears are confirmed. We’ll see, I guess. Due to the 80+ odd hours I’ve spent over the summer and fall plus the constant random brainroom planning and sequencing songs for the radio show, building a new website for it, getting the renewal form in 4 months early when half the people reportedly didn’t get them in at all, checking the station excessively etc, I’m a little bit unhappy, though it’s no one’s fault really. I guess that’s what I get for being overenthusiastic. What’s that they say about assuming?

So now I have to decide whether to just throw in the towel (and have potentially more spare time), move into the annoyingly buzzworded podcastsphere (that way having all the time not entirely go to waste), or what. So much for my top 111 albums of 2005 countdown!!! it was going to be so cool, too.

    well i have 8:30 class on wednesdays next term, so it wouldn’t work, plus I think they got someone doing that slot over the summer who probably wanted to stay. who even knows. i don’t. i mean he said in a sort of mass post that only half the people even submitted renewal forms and that they would be at risk of losing their slots to people who did.. so i dunno why i still didn’t get anywhere. though the fact that i have class at whatever times makes it harder to fit in. but if i do get the 2-4am slot i think i’ll enjoy that more than the 6-9am slot. so here’s hopin’.
