Radio: Music vs Ads

Coming to work is a pain... driving to work is a pain in the a$%e.
My drive to and from work is 2 hours each way - WOW! I spend one-sixth of my day driving!!!!

Now, don't get me wrong - I LOVE driving. It's just the traffic that kills me. And what better way to kill time than listen to music. Talking of music, I am still an ardent radio fan as opposed to the CDs. I love the feel of not knowing which song will play next and the random mix of moods.

And I switch stations everytime there is an ad playing. And I always wonder if everyone does the same.

I tune in to a particular station coz I like the kind of music they play. And when more people tune in, the station becomes popular. And when the station becomes popular, they get more ads. And given the limited time, more ads = less music. So people like me start to leave.
And then the station becomes unpopular = less ads = more music. Then I
tune in again!!!

OK I am confused - Will someone please explain it to me
How does this whole thing work???????

Random...

Random Thanks:

1. That I don’t have a strong (and unpleasant) body odour (I know of people who do, and every time I talk to them, I feel truly thankful)

2. That I don’t stammer! That I can walk and drive and dance!

3. That I am married to a man, who accepts me as I am, even if he doesn’t like a few (ok.. ok.. a lot many) of my idiotic characteristics; That I have a mother-in-law who doesn’t behave like a typical stereotyped MIL. (You got to meet her to realize how lucky I have been to land up with her.. and how unlucky she must have been to land up with me!!)

4. That I am not fat or ugly looking!

5. That my mom didn’t meet with an accident when she was carrying me – and I had the privilege to be born with no defects!! (OK.. SHUT UP)

Random Questions:

1. How are you supposed to behave when you meet your boss in the loo? (Thankfully I haven’t had female bosses till date, so I haven’t had a chance to experiment!!)

2. If you had 2 dying men – one who has met with an accident and the other who has tried to commit suicide – and you could save only one of them; which one would it be?

3. Why can’t the office AC be just right? Why is it either too cold, or too hot?

4. Why do I have to work? Why can’t I be paid for doing nothing?

5. Why does the house maid need a day off, exactly when you are expecting lots of guests?

Random Facts:

1. If you give me attitude, you either are already insignificant to me, or will soon become so.

2. The best thoughts will occur to you just when you won’t have anything to note them down on

3. I have realized over years that you don’t have to be with people to love them. You can just love them.

4. I never have enough money

5. I don’t know what makes me happy
