I just reformatted my computer, and as a result, had to reinstall every single one of my programs. Well, as I was wrapping up, I decided to install AOL Instant Messenger and see if anyone I know was online. Apparently there's some new feature where people can add you to their buddy list while you're away or something, and when I logged on, two people had "contacted" me. I guess that's what you'd call it? Regardless, one was a screenname, one was just an e-mail address, and I'd never heard of either. The thing of interest, though, is the e-mail address. It apparently belongs to the HR Manager of a Cumulus Media in Atlanta -- they own several of Atlanta's radio stations, from rock to sports talk.
A few months back, they launched a new radio station, and I called in and talked to one of the on-air personalities for a good 15 minutes about how the transition went, etc. Well, toward the end of our conversation, he mentioned that he does some online work on the side, and I told him I do the same thing. He told me to e-mail him some of my work, so I did, but I never heard back from him. Then a few weeks later, I e-mailed a resume of my work to their morning show, but I never heard anything from them, either. The funny thing is, both instances were the only contact I've ever had with Cumulus Media, so one of those two instances has to be the link to this HR Manager's e-mail address showing up on my AIM buddy list. It can't possibly be a coincidence, can it? I mean what are the odds? It's possible, I suppose, that she is just lonely and looking for someone local to chat with, but then why not include an actual screenname and not a corporate e-mail address? Ah well, I suppose I'll find out what the hell's going on if and when anything else happens in the future. I'll keep you posted.
