My on-air name is/was Sue Bayou and I had been hosting a country morning show for the past 9 years and found it to be the best therapy. I could share all (well, most) of the crazy things that went on in my life. It was a great way to see the funny, the absurdity in life when I knew I could turn the story of the dog eating my 2-year old's diaper into a "bit" on my morning show.
On December 11th, the radio station decided to make some changes and I was one of those changes. I was let go. Now, I am a firm believer in the phrase "When God closes a door, he always opens a window," but my main concern now is wondering what floor I am on. I've been doing radio since college, almost 19 years and I'm not sure what to do next. I know what people tell me I'm good at: finding connections, working with people, telling stories. So I thought, at the very least, I would try my hand at writing. Ya never know right? And how could I live my life without a "bit" outlet. I need to tell people my crazy stories or I'll tear my hair out and start drinking. More. And bald and drunk is not a good look.
So I have decided to start blogging. I hear that you can even make money at it, so I thought I'd give it a shot. This might not be good for a while. Maybe too long sometimes and maybe too short and quite often incoherent. But its something to keep my mind busy. For now. Until I figure out what floor I'm on.
This will be good I am sure. You always made me laugh on the radio. My daughter is great and telling stories and writing them and you remind me of her. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteBald and drunk is HAWTT!!
ReplyDeleteI've always thought about doing something like this but I figured people would think I'd lost my mind....with the whole goal to keep me from losing my mind! Thanks for doing this. I always enjoyed listening to your stories and can relate now that I have two kids of my own. One question, when do the terrible 3s end????
ReplyDeleteProbably should edit these a bit and send them to your newspaper. Pretty sure they might consider you for your own column! You are hilarious!!
ReplyDeleteDarn, I wondered what happened to you guys from the morning show with Gary coming back. You will SO be missed, I'm glad I found your blog so I can hear what craziness is continuing in your world. There is life after Radio, my late husband was a DJ here in town for a number of years before he found a real job doing computer work. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad I found your FB page and your blog! I miss hearing your stories on the morning show and to be quite honest those first days with Gary alone were so painfuly boring I switched stations. Anyway glad to have 'found' you!
