So it looks as tho I am going to be spending the next month on the road. I am going to see family and friends back in Michigan this week. I am going to be in Flint on Wednesday night, and return to New York Mills on Friday. Its going to be odd to see Flint again, considering all that's happened to me in the past 60 days.
After that, I am heading to Washington DC. I have a VERY exciting job interview there. Regardless of whether I get it or not, I am moving to DC. Its always been a dream of mine to live there, and this moving around to different small markets is not what its cracked up to be. If I am retired from radio, so be it. The problem with living in small areas is that when you get fired you have no options. Its work at Kmart or McDonald's. At least in DC I can explore other avenues and get my foot in the door in places that otherwise I wouldn't be able to.
It's drastic. But its also exciting, I cannot wait to see what life has in store for me.
You are a failure.

Be sure to check the gov't website when you get to DC for media jobs. There are a lot of media and related jobs that people just don't know about - www.usajobs.opm.gov
Also, there is a good amount of p/t radio work in the surrounding areas to DC, Annapolis, Frederick, Winchester, etc., and a lot on the Eastern Shore like at the MTS stations in Cambridge (check their site out for jobs at mtslive.com)
I hope that this helps.

I noticed you had not been on in the morning and was thinking maybe you were on vacation. I decided this morning to do some snooping to see what was going on and found your blog. I'm sorry to see you go and wish you all the best in the future. Please don't let the radio station ruin your opinion of our city.
