Daily Dose of BS March 27 love

I think we can all agree that life is short.  Too short.  In fact it is so short and there is so much heartache and turmoil why should we fault or deny someone love?  Have you ever found true love?  Have you had the privilege of loving someone so much that you would do anything for them?  Most parents have this feeling the day make that the moment that their child came into their lives, as the child ages the love just grows.  Think back to your first moments of what brought that child into the world, the love that you and your partner felt.  The, I can't live without this person bond, you were able to create your family, you were able to wake up next to someone and have that feeling day in and day out.  The issue of gay marriage is big in the news these days, I don’t know why we should deny anyone that feeling of love that undying love of another person, the commitment if you will.  In 2002, Gallup polls asked Americans and the estimates were that 21% of men are gay and 22% of women are lesbians.  Don’t we all deserve love?

Daily Dose of BS March 26 woman bosses

Would you be able to have a boss of the opposite sex?  I wasn’t sure if I would, but I tell you what my boss and I work very well together.  Here is the thing I am not up for a raise or a talking to for messing up, but I heard from a few acquaintances how can you have a women boss?  Now do not take this the wrong way but she handles me better than I have been handled by a boss before, she listens to my concerns and works to fix them, she seems to care about me as a person my boss is great person, and an even better boss.  Don’t get me wrong I had some good bosses that were men, so I was worried about working for a woman, taking orders from a woman, reporting to a women, etc.  I will tell you what it makes life at work a whole bunch better when you love what you do and you like your boss.   I have had my boss for the past 3 years and it has been the best working environment I have had.  Would you be able to work successfully under a boss of a different gender?  

Daily Dose of BS March 25 Christmas Syndrome

I think I have self-diagnosed myself with Christmas Syndrome, I did a search for it and the Urban Dictionary is the only place I can find anything close to what it is.  Here is their definition of the word Christmas Syndrome - When you are looking forward to something constantly, to the point of obsession, causing the actual event to seem short and dull in comparison.  Here is why I think I have it if I have to wait for the results for anything or a meeting with my boss or someone calls me and wants to get together to talk about something I worry about it or think about it.  It sometimes bugs me and I don’t know why.  I am thinking that most of it was brought on when I got canned a few years ago cause the boss called me into his office, and then when I broke my leg the Dr. says we will have to wait and see.  I wore my cast for 7 weeks then last week I had to have a cat scan on the leg, the few days wait was a killer, ya know it could have stemmed from when I was a kid and my mom would say wait till your dad gets home.  

Daily Dose of BS March 22 heres your sign

I have seen a few news stories about parents who made their children stand on a street corner or in front of a store holding up a sign saying something along the line of I did something wrong, I stole this, I broke the law, I got drunk, smoked pot etc. I have not seen any of these signs locally but they have been all the rage around the country. I think I like this punishment, it puts a face on the perpetrator and like a good punishment it will hopefully make the child think before they do said crime again. It has been compared to the new spanking, guess what when you get that whap on the butt you are more likely to think twice before you do the punishable action again. Sometimes I feel as though we as a society are too soft on our kids, I am glad to see some parents who feel strongly about helping to get their kids on the straight and narrow by having them admit their mistakes and hopefully learning from that mistake.

Daily Dose of BS March 21 dream job

We all have a dream job, a job that we have always wanted to do, your rock star job if you will. When I grew up I wanted to be one of 3 things, and I am doing one of those three jobs today. I wonder how many people actually do what it is that they wanted to do as a child? I found the right job for me early as I have been in the radio business since 1988, in fact I recall having conversation with my Dad about 15 years ago when we went out for breakfast after one of my shifts when he looked me in the eye and said Bob I am glad you found radio because your mother and I had no idea what you were going to do with your life. I have taken a few breaks thinking maybe I wanted to try something else, but the gravitational pull of radio was just too much. I look forward to my job each and every day as it is different every single day. You really have to love what you do to get up and be to work by 5am. Here’s hoping that you have the job, no career that you always wanted.

Daily Dose of BS March 20 clothing

Hi I’m Bob and I wear clothing that sometimes is offensive to people who see it, not that it says anything wrong but I like to dress for comfort.  I have been a wearer of Zubaz since the 80’s in fact I still have the first pair that I brought with a snake skin print.  They have lots of miles on them and have become cabin pants, I do have a couple more pair and have introduced them to my kids and 3 of the 4 wear them.  My question to you today is this, if you are out somewhere and your partner objects to what you are wearing would you change your clothing?  For me I am not too sure I would, I guess it depends on where we are going.  I did once turn a radio station shirt inside out when I was helping out with an event because it was sponsored by another radio station.  

Daily Dose of BS March 19 Pizza

Living in La Crosse we have a gem, a treatment, remedy, or cure for bland pizza.  I just read that the top pizza topping is pepperoni followed by mushrooms.  I had a girlfriend when I was in high school that only liked peperoni pizza she wouldn’t try any other kind and we had pizza a lot.  Needless to say we ate a lot of peperoni pizza; I ended up taking off the peperoni’s off and still continue with that practice.  When my Dad would go out of town for work my Mom would take my brothers and I to a place for taco pizza, what a great concept take two of my favorite foods and combine them, they did it with great success.  Fast forward a handful of years and while working in Mason City Iowa at a radio station one of the pizza places had a fake pizza call and they had an extra Canadian bacon, pineapple pizza and called the station to see if I wanted it.  I figured I love both ingredients what the heck, a new favorite pizza.  Bringing me to our local cure for bland pizza, have you tried any of the different concoctions of pizza that Pizza Doctors has to offer?  I still love the Hawaiian and the taco but have fallen in love with the spaghetti and meatball, the chili dog, the gyro, the Denver omelet and my favorite the skittle pizza.  I do miss the spam and beans za though.  What is your favorite pizza topping?
