Well unemployment hasn't been all that bad I guess. The time here at home and in the car between job interviews, errands, and job fairs I have gotten back into an old time hobby of mine. . . listening to the radio. I know it sounds like a lame "hobby" but I love it. I would listen to the radio over an iPod any day!!
In a former life I drove a truck for a living and fell in love with Edge 103.9. Chuck Powell, Heather Lewis, Thrill Ride, Colin Boyd, Robin Nash (to only name a few) were my co-workers. Soon, after day in and day out, I learned the line up perfectly. I knew the different segments by day and time. I found myself calling in all the time to win tickets, movies, prizes and more. The crazy thing is I won, a lot (to give you an idea the 57 inch flat screen in my living room is compliments of the Edge)!! To protect myself I think it best if I don't mention my secrets and techniques in a public forum like this, but they existed.
One of the hardest moments in my life came not too long ago. The Morning Ritual and all that I grew to love was dissolved. No more Last Character Standing, no more Billboard Game, and no more Tabloid Fantasy League (note: the only time in my life I was a member of a fantasy league). I felt for a brief moment that life was not worth living (j/k). The worse part was that it was all going to be replaced with the biggest idiot of all Adam Carola!!
Well to wrap this up, after months of not listening to the Edge (religiously) I turned it on streaming through the computer today as I cleaned house. I was scrubbing the toilet when I heard Robin call for the ninth caller to win a four pack of something. I grabbed my phone and called and won!!
Although the Edge 103.9 has been removed from my radio memory buttons I might need to occasionally tune them in and see if we can't make amends (Adam is still an idiot though!)
