5. My favorite job was at a radio station....
...I was what was called a switcher back in the day at KMBS 1410AM...the station received a satellite feed from Chicago...big band music from the 40's with vintage country and rock from the 50's 60's and 70's mixed in...every 20 minutes we switched from the sat. feed over to local commercials..that's where I came in...I.LOVED.THAT.JOB...so much I eventually took over the dude's time that worked before me and would be there 12+ hours a day...the fringe benefits were I had the place all to m'self and the sound proof booth had like 8 amplifiers in it...durin' the feed I could listen to what ever I wanted to...as LOUD as I wanted to...'twas heaven with a paycheck...then they automated me outta my position with computers to do the job...but not better as there were sooo many times they had DEAD AIR because the 'puters wouldn't ever work as they should...never again have I had a job I loved like that one..heh or even LIKED as much for that matter...sigh. :nopity:

:hi:
