pink shirts were made for men like steve edwards
thank you for calling chicago public radio, meisa speaking, may i take your pledge?
i answered phones for 4 hours yesterday for the chicago public radio spring pledge drive. i couldn't stop smiling the whole time, even though i only got 12 calls. but i took in about $2600 in pledges, so that's a good thing. AND i got to meet steve edwards, host of 848!!! he came into pledge central (that's what us hip people call it) and broadcasted live from there. did you hear me cheering him on at about 5:50? that whoooohooo? yup! that was me!!!!!
if you haven't pledged yet, you still have time!! public radio provides such a service to the community - reach into your pockets and give a little back to them. they need it!!

I am so envious! How do I become a phone answerer?

yay for you! that's awesome. wouldn't it be cool if the government (at all levels -- state, local, and federal) funded public radio completely and then there wouldn't have to be pledge drives at all? but sadly, such is not the case. so yay for you! you did a good thing... and you were rewarded. too bad we couldn't see the pink shirt through the radio. :)
