I just sent Brian a PM to tell him that he is causing havoc on the Forum as we all sit her with fingers, toes, eyes and whatever else crossed waiting to hear some news about the interview.

Brian, are you there????

Brian ~

I'm sorry this didn't beak your way.  As a guy who used to have to 'audition' in order to get radio jobs and was often rejected or, worse yet, led to believe the job was 'in the bag' only to play the waiting game and then find out they hired someone else, I know the feeling of regret and frustration.  However, at least you still have a job.  I know you gave it your best shot.  I'm sure you'll do even better, when the timing is right.  Hang in there - and never give up.

Jim
4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
