creepy, creepy

Last night I went to a school board meeting - woohoo fun for a summer evening!  They were discussing the upcoming years budget and since our school is going to be cutting staff I wanted to know what the specifics were.  The meeting was relatively uneventful - but afterwords I was approached by a local radio talk-show personality who MADE ME FEEL LIKE I NEEDED A SHOWER AFTER TALKING TO HER!!! 

She was trying to get me to come on her show or at least send her my complaints about the direction of the school board so she could "rake them over the coals" on her radio program and "get something done through the media".  I declined, at first politely, and then more forcefully.

I held my temper in check as she told me I was not doing my civic duty using her program to get the story out to the public (THERE IS NO STORY YET!!!) ...  "MARIA, I AM MUCH MORE COMFORTABLE TALKING TO THE BOARD MEMBERS PERSONALLY AND FEEL I AM MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE THAT WAY"  Her response, " oh, well I don't like talking directly to the members, I would rather bypass them and make them respond to the radio..." 

So, the moral of the story - don't listen to radio personalities as they rant on their personal issues as they obviously have no clue what they are talking about!!! 

Shower, shower please!
