I know it's not politically correct to say anything negative about anyone, so I won't. However, I believe it is open season on people's behaviour.
Yes, we believe in free speech in this country, but for pete's sake, if you don't have something intelligent to say - do us all a favour and keep it to yourself. Just because you talk louder doesn't make you right.
Only truly ingnorant people justify anything by saying "that's the way it's always been". Sometimes the way it's always been has been terribly, terribly wrong.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Again, I merely ask that you base that opinion on some fact. Do the work it takes to form an intelligent, well thought-out, reasonable opinion. Just because you read or heard someone else's opinion on something and are regurgitating it, doesn't make you sound informed.
(Is anyone sensing I'm on an anti-ignorance rant?)
If you are negative all the time, no one wants to hear from you. Most of us want to surround ourselves with positive people. If your life is that bad, seek professional help. There is absolutely no shame in seeking counseling to work out your troubles. Constantly burdening your friends with your negativity is unfair, uncool and unproductive.
Does anyone else see the incredible irony in people bitching about bitchy people?
Here's some reality - your Facebook 'friends' may not actually be your friends. Keep the really personal information off of Facebook. Future employers have access to FB too. Think about it.
If you have to look over your shoulder before you say something - you probably shouldn't say it.
Why do so many women spend all of their time on the wedding and absolutely no time on the marriage?
Why do you think it's ok to interrupt someone?
'Please' and 'thank you' are words that never go out of style.
Your perfume/cologne/aftershave is giving me a headache. Wear it when you're home, not in the workplace.
Cover your mouth when you cough/sneeze/yawn.
If you want to improve your life, do something that will improve someone else's life.
If you just stand by and say nothing while witnessing an injustice, you're just as guilty as the perpetrator. Speak up. Stick your neck out. Do what is right. Be an ethical person.
It's all right to choose one cause and not all causes. Just support something.
Nobody's perfect, but why not keep trying?

la la la la life goes on....
Hi Everyone!
Long time - no write.
Let me start by saying I am one of those people who likes change. I think change is good for us because when it is not present, we tend to become complacent. Mind you, too much change at once can be a little daunting, but this is how we test our mettle.
After almost 25 years working for the same company, I am back working in radio in the type of situation I like - a family-owned business.
This is a good change for me. New hours, new colleagues (although I do miss working with some of the old ones), new attitudes and new ideas. I'm working with a team that is young, creative, open to new ideas and not afraid to express themselves. This is my kind of team.
I have to admit I'm at the bottom end of the learning curve when it comes to the technology, but I am ready, willing and able to learn it all.
The one thing I think is a constant in almost any workplace, is the personality types. There always seems to be the 'go-to' person who can help you with almost any problem. There's the 'go-to Tim Hortons person' who is always happy to grab refreshments if you're buying. There's the 'shy one' who won't normally speak to you first, but once you engage them, you find them to be fascinating. There's the 'tattle-tale'....need I say more? There's the 'drama queen/king' who always has to be the centre of attention (no, it's not me :P). It's fun getting to know each and every one of these personalities.
I believe a change is as good as a rest and I feel invigorated!
So, why not make a change today? Take a different route to or from work, eat something different for breakfast, change your hair colour. Don't be complacent! Be adventurous! Be willing to change.

New Beginnings
It's been a while since I blogged because I've been very busy. I'm not sure why I've been so busy considering I do not have a full time job. I did go on my first job interview in many, many years (not in broadcasting). That was a terrifying experience! Someone more qualified got the job and I wasn't upset about that. Actually it was a relief because I wasn't even sure I wanted the job. I know, you're wondering why I applied for it - because someone asked me to. Lesson learned.
Anyway, keep checking back because an announcement is coming soon about something new I'm going to be involved in. It's going to be fun and a great outlet for my creative side.
