I've been hearing a lot of good things about Lily Allen. I've been meaning to download a few songs, but I keep forgetting. I've only heard one song by Amy Winehouse, though, "Rehab." Honestly, I dig her voice. Must remember to listen to more.
At first I really wasn't interested in Lily, the music is a lot more pop than I care for, but once I actually gave the words a listen I was enthralled with the very dark sense of humor sung so sweetly to such upbeat music. I'm hooked. I also think she's adorable and would love to look/sound like her, and I appreciate how real she seems to be in her interviews & such
( ... )
LOL! I love the "skank factor" comment about Amy. I do worry about her when I read things and see pictures like I do. Methinks she is into harder stuff than Lily. Lily just seems to drink a lot when partying. I love her tour bus photos. She seems like she would be a blast to hang around.
I believe it pays $47,000 per year. If I don't get it, I'll be sure to let you know. There are two positions open though. A resume can be submitted for the position here:
Knowing me and Ben, there will be four pizza reviews when I get back. LOL! But I really want some Indian when I go out there. They have the best Indian food in Chicago.
Thanks! That would be a little bit of a downgrade in pay for him, but I am bookmarking the site and will keep an eye out for other positions. He does the customer service stuff and also networking, with a dash of project management-type stuff thrown in. We have a friend in another company (which also supports hospitals) helping us revamp his resume and he has also offered to write a letter of recommendation, so I'm really hoping that pans out. It would be nice to be able to afford health insurance again! I told him that ours would be $100 a week, if we were getting it, and that seemed to boggle his mind. I wonder what the average is.
I don't believe that I have ever tried Indian cuisine before. You'll have to make some recommendations so I can try it out when I go. I assume that it's spicy, though, so I have to admit that I'm quite a wuss when it comes to spice! I get my Thai with no spice.
Man, must be nice to make more than $47,000 in Michigan. It's why I am always so jealous of my friends Paul and Tom. If I made their money, I would have hot and cold running whores. LOL!
Is insurance so expensive because of the kids?
Indian is wonderful! And you can get stuff that isn't too spicy. Perhaps you can join me and Dan sometime and have Indian together. My favorite place downriver is "The Peacock" just off Michigan Avenue in Dearborn.
Wow. You're jealous of Paul and Tom, and I'm jealous of you, Paul, and anyone on up. I may be the only one I know from our graduating class at Specs that is working in radio, but what I'm making makes me wonder what I'm thinking. It sucks knowing the only reason I have a roof over my head is because my wife is a homeowner. It's emasculating when I think about our life...and actually, what she makes is still way less than what that position offers. How can I develop the skills needed to make 47 grand a year? I tried to go back to school (online) and couldn't handle it. Am I at a point in my life where I can no longer expect to improve my lot in life?

People are switching careers in their 40s and on up these days. However, what is it that you would switch to? Radio is your passion, I can't see you leaving it behind any more than I can see Rob leaving computers. However, if you're interested in learning to do computer tech support, I'm sure Jarrod would be more than willing to teach you things and Rob is always happy to help too. It's not brain surgery. The key is being a good troubleshooter. Even if you decide it's not for you professionally, it's always a good skill to have. Sometimes we are kept afloat by co-workers and acquaintances of co-workers having Rob fix their personal computers, setting up networks, etc. in his *cough* spare time. Mark & I aren't nearly as good as Rob, but are proficient enough to do a lot of the grunt work (running scans, backing up data, reloading software, etc), so if a 14 year old and a retard can do it, so can you. ;~)

I just want to make way more money using the talents I already have. I need to find the time to market myself. I could be cutting commercials for places all over, but I need to figure out the managing of that shit.
Re: It's never too late.alevosMay 23 2007, 17:45:01 UTC
Okay then, the first thing you need to do is drop this "I need to find the time" business. You gotta MAKE time. Work smarter, not harder. You have the best resource ever right here at your fingertips. Do your research, and come up with a plan. I'd be willing to help any way that I can. When I can think straight I'm not half-bad at planning stuff. (I just suck at implementation, LOL!)

But for sure, download the Lily songs I mentioned. The best Amy songs are:
"You Know I'm No Good"
"Me & Mr. Jones"
"Back To Black"
"He Can Only Hold Her"
and the best of the best: "Tears Dry On Their Own"
Great, great stuff!

Gabe,
I don't think he'll drift away though. Once Jarrod makes friends he keeps them pretty much forever.
