The life,times, troubles, toils, and tribulations of Raymond.

 
It’s Labor Day weekend and all I seem to be doing is laboring. I worked last night on the Southern California Baseball Report, and today I am filling in on the Wayne Resnick show and the John Douglas show. But hey, tomorrow is supposed a concert! Hanson baby! Ummmm Bopppp. Oh yeah. Well more or less it is just to spend quality time with my pal Lindy. For one reason or another we are able to bond over quasi-crappy pop music, but I shall refrain from calling Hanson crappy as seeing they write and perform all of their own music, unlike the Spice Girls, whom I also enjoyed immensely. But anyway…

I also got invited to take a Physical Agility Test for the Garden Grove Police Department today. It’s two weeks away, and I am pretty much out of shape, even though Federal Express shaped me up a little bit I haven’t been back there in about a month. So I am going to see if I get back to running and doing some exercise in the morning maybe I can get in a little bit of shape in the next few weeks. I think that would be the major obstacle for me in any job in law enforcement. I guess I just need to get in shape.

I feel bad I have gone through this whole summer and I was unable to see any of my favorite bands in concert. All of them were performing in August in the greater Los Angeles area but either due to work or sending off a friend to the East Coast I was unable to go to the concert……that…..and I am broke.

So Dana has been around for about a week and I think things may work out well between us. I feel bad because all of my stuff is pretty messy, mainly because as of a week ago I didn’t even have a bed. But, now I have a bed and all sorts of cool stuff, like lava lamps and a roommate who is really smart. For some reason I think I am the dumbest of all of the friends I knew back in High School. So sad. But I am in radio, a job that doesn’t require brains. And I get cool free stuff…so there. Yeah….I am going to go cry now.

I find myself at a crossroads in life. I think I am ready for a career change. I have spent the last 5 years working in radio, but I think I am ready to move on. I had been moving up the ladder slowly for the last few years, but I took a big step back this past March; and well, I guess I am just tired of it all. If I really wanted to get moving in this industry I would have to move away from Southern California and I am not sure if that’s something I can or want to do. As much as I enjoy working in radio I don’t know if I have the drive anymore to move to the middle of the country and start at some new are some radio station. I have gotten pretty cynical in this business and I am thinking it is time to move on. The only problem is that I feel I am committed to the Sports Station until the end of the Football season. I am the engineer for the Raiders Football game and the UCLA Football, and I am the only really experienced part time board operator left at the station. The thing is I just don’t have the heart for it anymore.

I just finished an EMT-Basic course, and I think I am ready for a career change for the moment. More then anything I just need the money and the benefits. I am 22 and I am just scraping by. I really feel like I have underachieved. Seems like everyone I know has either started working on an advance degree or has a decent paying job. Me I am scraping along barely able to get by. Not only that but I have pretty much lost all of my job satisfaction. Yep, it is time to move on I think. Who knows what I will do, but it is time to get on with my life.
