I have one of the coolest jobs you can get in the entire world.  Trust me when I say, I know how lucky I am to do the job I would do if I could do anything.

Along with the concerts, the talking for a living, the meeting famous people, and more, there are some super freaky things that happen when a person is a radio announcer.  They don't happen often, but when they do, they're really freaky.

This is a REAL text that I screenshot from my phone last night.  

There's so much to unpack here.

First, WTH? This text came about 10 hours after the fair acts were announced.  Ten HOURS.  The fair isn't for MONTHS.  The way it works for concerts is certain stations get tickets for certain concerts.  It's not just a free-for-all.  The tickets go to the stations that cater to the demographics of that artist.  That means NOT ALL OF OUR STATIONS will have tickets to each concert.  We have no idea who's giving out tickets to Fluffy.  Good grief.  Give us a day or two.

Second, notice I have NO IDEA who sent this text.  It's so far out from the people I associate with or have friends of friends of friends that maybe walked by me once that even my IPhone couldn't make a guess.  When a person is an announcer, it's EXTREMELY disturbing when a stranger has your number.  I can't stress this enough.

And finally, Fluffy is funny.  Really funny.  I saw him last time he was at the fair.  However, trading a child for tickets is a bit extreme.  And, if you know anything about me AT ALL, I've already done my bit raising kids.  I'm in the kids don't live with me grandma phase of my life and it suits me well.

You'd have been better off offering a years supply of tacos or something.  You really want to get me going, show me how well you'd clean my house for some tickets.  Or wash and detail my rig.

And honestly, then you still wouldn't get them. I'm being 100% serious right now.   I HATE people who do this.  So, to whomever sent this, if you were in my circle and changed your number, you are no longer in my circle.  I can spot a prize pig wanna be friend miles away.  You can buy your tickets by clicking here.
