This has been the week from H - E - Double hockey sticks! We work on contracts and they all have a due date, but sometimes the date gets changed and someone walks up to you and hands you a book and says "Get it done as fast as you can, but do it right." Yeah, that happened this week. TWICE! It has been bad. To top it off, my dad is my boss and he's going on vacation for two weeks, so the pressure was on to get all this stuff done before he left. THEN my husband's family decides that we are going to take a family vacation this weekend and starts sending me e-mails to discuss where we're going, etc. If I had gotten caught doing personal e-mail with those deadlines hanging over my head, dad or no dad, I would have been dead. In fact, I think it's worse 'cause he is my dad because he's a lot harder on me than he is anyone else. He also knows when I'm giving him a look, because he's used to it (and has learned to interpret them). So another supervisor might just see that I'm following along with the conversation and that I look mildly disinterested in the conversation, my dad picks up on right away as the real look and knows what I'm really feeling. Kinda sucks sometimes. ANYWAY, long story, well, LONG, because I DO tend to babble, I'm still checking in and I appreciate the concern. I'm not giving up on FFR.

I'm sorry to hear you had such a rough week, but VERY happy to hear you're still watching over us!
You N' Mo are like a cyber sister and brother to me! You'll always be special to Freeze-Frame for being the first two people not affiliated with the station to sign up and help get this forum started!
It's usually so hard to start a forum, but you two really made an effort to talk, even if it was just nonsense, so the board would take off.
YOU GUYS (and all of our other active members) ROCK!
I'm here....I'm completely swamped at work, & having intermittent internet acess at home (having problems w/ the DSL...) I used to have time during the workday to keep checking in, but I've gotten so busy (& far behind) that I only can take a few minutes at lunchtime to check in...
I've been putting in a ton of unpaid overtime to try & get caught up, & once my bosses leave for the night, I turn on FFR and make a request or 2 (usually aroun 5:30 or so). I'm gonna try to post a bit more...we'll see how it goes.
(& JD, I had to make that one post....the topic was getting too weird not to say something)
Thanks, Jer. Quitting FFR would be like cutting off my family, only harder, I LIKE you guys!
Yeah, Mz, they took away our internet radio. They said it interfered with our bandwidth. So, I've been listening to CD's and burning them like crazy at home. On a good note, I bought American Hi-Fi's old album "Art of Losing" and I'm in love. They are awesome. I am buying myself their new one "Hearts on Parade" for mother's day. I also got turned on to the Killers. I'm also buying me that for mother's day. I mixed a CD with American Hi-Fi, the Killers and 80's music. It's pretty good. If you get a chance, you might listen to "Mr. Brightside" by the Killers. It's great.

I love them. I tried to get tickets to their concert here in St. Louis, but it's sold out. Looks like I'm going to the Beach Blast at the local tavern instead. Woohoo! A party's a party and I'll just bring along my Killer's CD for them to play once or twice.

I'm jealous, JD. I want to see them so badly. My cousin, Matt, who is one of the coolest kids on the planet (I call him a kid because he's only 22 and that's a kid to me), introduced me to their music. I would almost drive to Milwaukee to see them! Got an extra ticket?

I wish I did, Trish. I wish I did! It'd be great if we could grow the station to the point where we could do ticket give-aways and stuff. Right now pretty much magnets and bookmarks are it
