Kanyindo's Random Ramblings

This morning on the show, Rudende, Libolo and I were debating whether or not you should return gifts given to you by your boyfriend/ girlfriend during the course of the relationship once things hit the rocks.  We even went as far as discussing whether or not you should ASK for certain things back.  I mean, let’s face it- you buy him a car and he shags your best friend.  I’d be pretty pissed off.  I’d want the car back, not so much to drive it or sell it as to run them both over with it.  But I digress. I couldn’t help wondering why no one was looking at the silver lining surrounding this break-up cloud.  Think about all those annoying things you put up with, simply because you were so consumed by love or lust for this person that you couldn’t see past the fug of pheromones you gave out each time they so much as glanced nonchalantly in your direction. I truly believe that there is something positive in every break-up, no matter how painful.  Cry, listen to sad break up songs,

For the most part, I love my job. I get to listen to music ALL DAY, I work with a great bunch of people, and I consider myself very lucky to be doing something I’ve always wanted to do- not many people can say that at my age. Like all jobs, however, there are some rather unpleasant aspects.  Like voice tests. Voice tests are those hit-and-miss recordings that can give you an idea as to whether or not someone will be a good radio presenter.  Do they have a radio-friendly voice, for a start?  Not too squeaky, not too gravelly, but pleasing to the ear?  Are they funny/witty/interesting to listen to?  Can they pronounce artists’s names properly? Of course the criteria changes depending on the type of station it is.  Our station’s presenters are energetic, up-beat, relatively witty and know the difference between WAYNE Rooney and Bobi WINE.  I pride myself on having some of the best radio presenters in Uganda (in my unbiased opinion) on my team.  So you’ll forgive me i
