Another Friday afternoon

Clock Watcher


Another Friday afternoon and I am the regular staff still in the office—the boss is still here but I have heard she will be existing soon too…I also heard in the same rumor that I maybe excused myself at 1500 hours. I will not fight that decision. What do four-day weeks always see longer then regular five day weeks? I know I do not work any harder in the 32 hours then I work compared to the 40 regularly labored. Its not that I over worked myself on Monday, which was the holiday, either. So, what is it? Still, its over now and I’ll pack up in yet another hour and head out on the train. I have to remember the keys—yesterday I left them on my wheelchair in my office. I was lucky Dianne was home, but she was not expecting me early so she was in the back of the house deep in bath while I pounded on the door looking like Fred Flintstone in the opening credits of the cartoon named the same. I finally called with the cell phone and Dianne came dripping to the door and let me in.

I hate change!! I know this is a sure sign old age but I am, once again, railing NPR because the local affiliate is changing the schedule—AGAIN! Kcpw LIKES TO SAY THEIR subjects have all kinds of control over “their” own public radio station. It’s just little things I should be past letting bother me. Now it’s FRESH AIR, I really enjoyed the program when it was on at 2:00 pm, right before ATC , when ATC started at 3:00, this was a perfect time, this greatly helped the afternoon pass away to five. Then a about a year ago, KCPW, switched Fresh-air from 2:00 to 11:00 a.m. This was irritating but I learned to cope, now ATC STARTS AT 2:00—I HATE THIS! ATC at this time does not seem right, the show is sufferable at this time but what used to make me feel the say was almost over now tell me there is still a long afternoon a head to yet endure. And, worst of all Fresh-Air now, Fresh-Air is going from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm so”you can unwide” with Terry Gross. I’ll never watch the show at that time because that is during my commute and even later, I am doing other stuff in the evening…I’ll never hear the show again. I just may pull my funding next time fund raising time rolls round.
