23. I never liked being in management.

Every management staff meeting was a complete waste of time. A real dick dance. Everybody took their turn trying to impress the general manager and it drove me crazy. It was the closest thing to a circle jerk that I’ve ever witnessed.

But then again, I didn’t get into broadcasting to go to management staff meetings and write memos and quibble about budgets. I got into broadcasting to broadcast! To write, produce, report, and flick on that mic switch and go on the air.
