Dear Mr. DJ: I request permission to NOT listen to your show today. Not being a Christian, this was always an alienating time for me, and the music of this season is, shall I say, somewhat repulsive emotionally for me. But I speak only for myself. So, I look forward to the future gems of broadcast that you do.....thank you, Duane. You're doing a great service, but today it is for others....Now, I need to find a Chinese restaurant in order to fulfill my cultural obligations!!

@Jake: To answer your question from the other day, I'm still working at UPS, and even though I'm 20 years older then most employees, I have the best metrics (I'm a former athlete, both soccer and middle distance running, a decade ago), So, they want me full time and want to fast track me to management. However, I'm so exhausted after every shift, I can't apply to GIS jobs, or write art, music, or poetry. So, I'll see....
