Listening To Paint Dry

Posted on | November 21, 2005 | Comments Off on Listening To Paint Dry

I listen to talk radio, mostly in my car to and from work. Tonight I got in the car to go home and the host promised to talk about “Deadbeat Dads” in the upcoming hour, and specifically a man who sent an email and was upset about Sheriff Joe’s latest round up.
You all know that this is one of my pet peeves, so I was very interested. I waited…and I waited…..
And he talked about the Mayor being called for jury duty and played a sound bite of him talking about it – over and over and over and over…..
It was truly like listening to paint dry. He had 4 or 5 callers with jury duty stories, which could have been informative little bits if he didn’t go on and on and on and on about the Mayor – and asking the same questions over and over. (OK, you guys probably know that another of my pet peeves is repetition – just get it freakin’ out there and move on. You can stay on the same subject if you have additional information otherwise, wrap it up!)
He ended up repeating the jury duty bit for the full final hour of his show and never got to the Deadbeat Dad story. What are the odds he’ll cover it tomorrow?
