- We had an amazing visit with Gina, Steve, Luca, and my family! I’m looking forward to writing about it, but am exhausted and today is the one day I’m working this week and my parents arrive tonight to celebrate my birthday (tomorrow) so… not sure when I will write. Maybe after work!
- I can at least share the river gift I was so excited about – custom sunglasses with everyone’s name and “River Time 2020” on them. They were a hit!
- My interview at work is set up for next Wednesday morning! I took my work phone and computer on vacation just for that email (it came late Tuesday afternoon).
- A month ago I applied to be the “Daily Driver” on my favorite classic rock station, 97.1 FM The Drive, and I was selected last week! On Friday I recorded five song intros with one of the DJs, and they are playing them today. I also recorded a “I am the Drive” spot – where you talk about who you are then say your name, city, and “I am the Drive” at the end. I’m kind of bummed they’re playing the intros the one day I’m working this week – I’m in meetings most of the day so I may miss them (but I work most weekdays so what was I expecting?!). But I am still excited to be selected!
Awww, so glad to hear you guys had a nice visit and vacation together!!! The sunglasses are a brilliant idea!
And your interview finally got scheduled – woo hoo!!! I hope Wednesday ends up being a great day for you. Fingers crossed!
Too bad they didn’t make you daily driver tomorrow – that would have been so cool. But just being selected is already cool enough, right? What songs did you pick?
PS ordered the book!
Thanks! I really like how they turned out and was glad I finally came up with something.
And thanks! Keep em crossed! LOL!
That is what I was thinking – it would have been so neat to have it on my birthday. I submitted 10 songs and the five they picked are: She’s So Cold, Foreplay/Longtime, Fooling Yourself, Ice Cream Man, and Tube Snake Boogie.
Yay! You’re gonna love it! I want to read the others but I can’t get them on Libby or in hard copy yet!
What a great gift! Totally perfect for a river trip, and I love that you customized them!
omg GOOD LUCK next Wednesday!! So exciting! You’re going to have an awesome interview 🙂 I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you! You should mention that The Drive picked you as one of their Daily Drivers as further evidence of your leadership capabilities 😉 If you can lead a radio station, surely you can handle a supervisory position, right?! That’s how I see it at least.
And happy slightly early birthday! Have a wonderful day tomorrow! *insert cake emoji here*
Thank you! It was really fun to pick out what they’d say and the icons on them!
Thanks, and yes, cross them all! Ha, I totally should. Doesn’t mind talking on the radio = must be good at presentations and leadership, right? (ha, no)
Thanks! OMG that cake. We finally finished it. Tomorrow I think Steven is making me a strawberry pie!
Those cheap Wayfarer-esque sunglasses that get handed out for free at so many events and places of interest and are giveaways in stores are the ONLY sunglasses I wear. I’ve got a ton and keep pairs in both our cars and elsewhere. I figure if I lose or destroy a pair, I’m out zero cash. And yet I’ve never had that happen. Maybe some slight lens scratching. Yet when I pay for sunglasses, I invariably destroy or lose them including two pairs of $125+ Oakleys. Never again.
You are not the only one I know who does that! A lot of people have told me they prefer the freebies/cheap ones! And yeah, less heartache if they are lost!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KIM!!!! I hope you have an oh-so-wonderful birthday and I’m glad your parents are coming in to celebrate with you!
I’m excited to hear more about your river trip. I love the gift you chose – how perfect!
YAYYYY for an interview date. Eeks – so exciting! Is it going to take place over Zoom?
And how fun to be selected to be a daily driver! I love that!!
Thank you! I had a great, relaxing day with them!
Yeah, it will be virtual over Google Meet (we’re on the Google platform at work).
It was so cool! It was a long day of listening to the radio – they play them all four hours apart, and one the night before!
Wednesday Wednesday WEDNESDAY!!! All the good thoughts and crossed fingers will be coming from me that day.
How fun that you got chosen for I am the Drive! Did you get to hear it?
Thank you!
Yes, I heard four of them! (I guess they played one the night before), I had to listen all day – they were around 8:30, 12:30, 5:30, and 8:30!
