Okay, every add your own. Here's mine:

No matter how may stations I work at , no matter how big OR small the market, people will always steal your food/ other stuff at the station!

I'm not in the Biz but from reading everone elses posts I learned one thing for sure about the Radio Biz:

The definition of the phrase:
Job Insecurity!

on Monday's salespeople will always ask you how your weekend was...but they really don't care....

But isn't that one of those generic questions that most people feign caring at?

"Who keeps leaving the fast food garbage in the van?"

"It's funny, we're supposed to be in the communication business"

"It's added value for the client, so there is no talent fee"

Someone will always leave something in the fridge that grows mold and stinks.

Back in the prog days if you saved up a great tune for weeks because it was getting to be overplayed, and then you finally played it, the next day 3 people would call and request it again.

The guys in marketing will use the request line to make outgoing phone calls until you (biod) reversed tip and ring.

No matter how many times you ask jocks not to put their drink on the console, someone will inevitably spill a coke right into the most vulnerable area. In the TV newsroom, keyboards were the hardware of choice to spill sugared coffee on.

No matter how many times you tell a jock that by talking into the 421 Sennheiser sideways, he sounds cooler because he's attenuating the highs and not boosting the lows, they still will do it. Don't waste your time trying to explain how cardioid mics are omni for low freqs or even what a cardioid mic is. This gets worse when you go into TV and reporters and anchors wear lapel condenser mics and don't secure them so every time they move their arm and it brushes against the lapel of a jacket everyone hears it.

If you got up for a transmitter emergency in the middle of the night, the PD will call you at 9:10 AM and want to know where you are since the allnight guy didn't tell the morning team and no one left a note on any door, particularly annoying when you don't have to return to the studio from the transmitter after taking care of whatever to leave your own note.

Andy.....you sound like you on the working side of radio...the Tech side......the side that is kind of difficult to replace with automation....but unfortuneately can be with outsourceing. :~(

Always KISS ASS! The most importnat rule. Ass smoochers are the only ones that get ahead in this business! I suggest Buying your boss random presents, and telling him how awesome he is and how great his programming is and what a fine human being he is.
Women, dress as scantily clad as possible, I suggest showing some cleavage, that always gets a raise(no pun intended) How do you think pople like Savage get ahead in this business, they have the art of ass kissing down to a science.

There's a fine art to kissing ass without getting ones nose dirty.

lol.

I like how when people on this board choose to flame me, they do it by making claims that are completely opposite of what I do. How are you going to ruffle my feathers if you can't even get your facts straight?

Saying I kissed ass to get where I'm at is like saying George Bush got to be president by being a political genius.

easier to get forgiveness than permission...words to live by...

Wrong Savage TIM! By the way, you have some brown stuff on your nose!

What the heck kind of character is a bicycle wheel with a stovepipe hat.......did I actually hear that right tonight on the Sqwauk Box!! That one must have been the result of to much canadian mist....!!!!

Savage..? Tim.. I'm confused. I'm Tim Ryan,not Savage. ( I do like TS's show, though).

I'm so confused that I've been doing the robot for the last 40 minutes.

...ain't what you know, it's who.......
