Every day that I sit here, in front of various computers, in a comfy, 
air-conditioned building, I am thankful. When I drive by a work crew on the highway, 
or construction crew, etc, working in the blazing sun or bitter cold, I pray 
for them... and again give thanks for my job in Radio.

There are days when things here get really hectic... last minute production 
orders, fussy clients that want re-cuts, late logs from Traffic, a computer 
that goes on the fritz, you name it. (I'm not just the Engineer, I'm also the 
Morning Announcer, Music Director, Traffic Assistant, & Production guy. I love 
it, tho!)

That's right. We're supposed to be a team. As the discussions have bandied 
back and forth here, we've all seen the debates about "who is the most 
important", and it really boils down to *everyone*: Engineering, Production, 
Programming, and Sales. Take away any *one*, and it *all* falls apart.

Amen, brother. You preach it, and I'll turn the pages! <G>
