...And Just Like That....

It's Over. I am no longer employed by Learfield. This stuff happens fast huh? No need to go into particulars, let's just say this doesn't feel or look right.
I am not sure wha' happened, but it doesn't matter now. Anyone know of a gig for a decent guy who likes to work hard? On to the next chapter in my life. I made some good acquaintances there and I will miss those people. Of course, with any job, there are those that I won't miss. I wonder if any pro teams need an affiliate relations guy. I will probably not post for a bit, need to let things be.
Bummer.

Chicago Socialista said...: I'm so sorry to hear that, Randy. You'll land somewhere soon. You're too good, and too good to people, to be without a gig for long.

Dave Morris said...: Hang in there, pal. The coffee's on, if you feel like stopping by. We can brainstorm, bitch and banter.

Don't make me beg. :); 1:09 PM
Anonymous said...: Good God, what happened? For whatits worth, Randy, you did an awesome job servicing us. Your ideas, knowledge of the business and thoughts about the future were keen, intelligent and right on. I am sure this break between you was not about job performance, because no one took care of my station better than you did. What are the options when it comes to cancelling our affiliation? We are saddened here in mid Iowa. You rock, Randy and the best of luck to you.; 2:32 PM
Dale Forbis said...: I am so sorry about this Randy. I truly wish your experience with Learfield had been as positive as mine. Please contact me with a "home" e-mail address so we can stay in touch. I would like that. And, I mean it when I say -- if there is ANYTHING I can do for you, just ask.

Matt said...: Hey Randy, best of luck my friend! I'll have you linked on my blog so I can check up on you from time to time.; 8:55 AM
Ken Dillon said...: As I told you on the phone when you called me to let me know, "when one door closes, another opens up," Brother! I know it sounds trite...and it is, but I hope it is true for you.

As long as I've known you, I can say that your talent is one thing...but your positive attitude for whatever you are working on is another, and THAT will make things all work out fine.

At least now you'll have more time to come sit in on the Morning Show with me!; 9:23 AM
