Corporate radio!
Yesterday was my first day of work in promotions for 97.1 fm.

Twas a CBS talk/news station that houses the highly syndicated Adam Corolla show, the Tom Leykis talk show and the Heidi, Frosty and Frank morning show, and the like.

Yesterday was also my last day of work at 97.1,

They (and I) learned on Wednesday that CBS would be replacing them with a top 40s station. So upon arriving to work on Friday, I realized that I, along with everyone who worked there, had been fired. I thought it would be just transfered over to the new shitty station, but oh no, everyone got the boot. There was mad drinking in the studio, I met Tom Leykis, and I hung around for a bit with some other awesome yet bitter (former) employees.

Best or worst first day or work ever?

That is a pretty awesome first day of work. Sorry though. If you want you can come do PR for my new CB radio, if I ever get it set up.

Right?

I dunno about PR but I can do promotions and make you cool sweepers for your show, preferably including background music of 'Shake it Girl.' Why do you not have it set up yet!! Get those radio waves bouncing!

Holy piss. That's unnerving. Sorry to hear about the job, but at least your severance is an excellent story.

HAHAHA yeah about that. It would be neat if it existed, but since it was my first day we didn't get that set up yet. Best timing ever!

Hope you're doing ok and your family is well, shit man I'm sorry.

Don't get me wrong, I love my booze. I especially enjoy circumstances in which I can drink at work and/or at noon. Not sure if that qualifies me as a rockstar or an alcoholic...
