Pop Culture,Rabin and Such.....

So I am going to start and tell my tale, if you will, about my time working at The Ohio University Inn. I will say now that I did not work there long and thanks to not getting paid at the station I was forced to work there. It was the summer before my junior year at OU and I had just moved into my sweet new apartment at Courtside, little did I know it would suck.....so BAD!!! Let's just say it gets really loud when you live directly above the bar. Anyway, I called my buddy, Kevin, and was like what's the deal my man and he said he was working at the Inn but we should party.
So, I started working at the station and not getting paid, spending all my money on food and beer. Then I decided to ask my buddy to put in a good word at the Inn and I got the job. I was a banquet server and set-up man......great title. My interview was probably the weirdest/funniest one that I have ever been a part of. This guy sits me down and asks what I think a banquet server/set-up man does and I almost laughed. I said serve food, clean up and "set-up" tables. He says yea that sounds about right. What would you say if your manager told you to do something and you didn't want to? Would you A. get angry, B. yell at them or C. do it? I asked him if he was serious and he was not kidding.
So whatever I got the job and it was hell. I worked terrible hours, either six in the morning or late at night. Some people were cool there and they all made fun of Kevin, so I had a good time doing that. Always ate the food but the problem was I would work Saturday mornings at six and party the night before....not a good idea. I never felt that good at work on those days. I felt like a worked my butt off and got nothing to show for it but I kept the job. Plus I my grades sucked during the fall when I would work 25 hours, have 18 credit hours and work two football shows. I worked there from the summer, August-ish, until right around the Super Bowl....this is where pop-culture and media kick in. It is Super Bowl week and we all get the new schedule and I look at it and see my name next to SUNDAY 8 p.m. till 2 p.m. Right there I knew it was the last straw. I was so pissed, I can't miss the Super Bowl and I have never missed it. Plus I don't want to miss out on the commercials. Went up to the Inn on Saturday or Sunday, I can't remember, with my vest, white button down, name tag, green set-up shirt and told my manager that I just couldn't do it anymore and I walked out. It doesn't sound as terrible when you read it but let me assure you if I told you in person I would go on a lot longer and in more detail.
All I know is getting through the day was hard at that place and I would listen to music to get me through it. Some times I would bring my I-pod and other times I would use the stereo system. I combine music with media all the time. Whether I am playing my I-pod and watching the game or plugging it into my computer while I serf the web or do homework. I have seen how technology has changed rapidly in such a short span of time. For example in high school I got a cell phone when I got my drivers license. Kids now get cell phones right out of the womb. I always read the newspaper and got most of my sports information from there and the television. I never even had an I-pod until I was 20 and now everyone has one. So, I do not know if the old media will die such as newspapers, cinema and the radio but I do know that everything is never truly lost because all new technology is built of the old. I do not know if people will stop going to the movies because they can download them fro free on the internet but I did go to the movies last week and it was a lot better there then on my computer. What I am trying to say is, I am not scared for the future and new technology but I hope it does not destroy the old tech and media that I still love to this day.
