Welcome back to work, or school. In case you missed it, according to WLNS

A popular Lansing morning show host is off the air.
Rich Michaels - host of the "Michaels in the Morning" show at WMMQ - was fired by Citadel Broadcasting on Wednesday.
Michaels has been on the Lansing airwaves at one station or another for more than 20 years since 1984.
Michaels, who says he's encouraged and supported unemployed callers to his show over the years, now finds himself in the same situation.
"I think everybody's going through this. I'm not special," Michaels said. "I actually wish I could talk to people now in a way because I'm in it. It's 10 days to Christmas and I don't have a job. Something better will happen."
Matt Hanlon, who runs the Citadel stations in Michigan, says the company and Michaels "parted company" because the station made a decision "to move in a different direction."
Michaels' co-host Deb Hart, another long-time radio presence, will remain with the station, Hanlon said.

Filing for Unemployment

Filing unemployment.  Wow.  Pride.  Never, ever took a "handout."  Didn't even want to, but this may all be part of the lesson I am being taught, if you believe in that.  I'm motivated to work now, but nothing happens over the holidays.
Thanks to Sean at Vertex Computers in Frandor and Susan at DBI Office Interiors of Lansing. They helped me beef up my business ... most appreciated.  If you need computer help or unreal deals on Office Furnishings, please refer to them!
