Mark,

It would appear that your old cronies did you a big favor by NOT hiring you back. In the current environment, radio is much better as a hobby than as a career.

Your bank account and retirement fund will be in far better shape working for the government. Radio is a fickle mistress for the few who can't make the transition out of "the biz", or who have achieved enough success to allow them to be comfortable.

Part-time will feed the RADIO monster that lurks within us all. The government job will (hopefully) provide a stable income, a chance to serve others, and a much more comfortable retirement. Either way, you're working for the people - just in a different role.

Rox,

First let me thank you for your kind words of support.

I am just amazed at the number of current and former colleagues of mine who have contacted me over the past few days after first posting this message on here. Everyone of them said the same thing about my attempt to return to my former job: "Are you nuts!"

The response provided me with quite a chuckle but it also gave me time to reflect and you know, they are right. I guess the RADIO MONSTER temporarily replaced common-sense. Thank goodness that common-sense won. The only thing that upsets me is knowing that some people I thought were friends turned out not to be. But I guess that is part of life's learning lesson.

By stating you are upset is a sign of emotional involvement. Why give your former employer the satisfaction of thinking that you still care? Just move on. Concentrate instead on your current career and what goals you can achieve. And good luck to you. Personally I think you made the right career move.

Trust me I am not trying to give my former employer any satisfaction by displaying any emotion.
Thank you for the good wishes. I also believe, especially after recent developments, that I made the right decision too.
