iWISH

I wish the coffee shop across the street would get an iPod stuffed with hundreds of songs instead of a rusty radio for its background music needs. NBC's late night shuffle is just the tip of the iceberg: In Orlando, a radio host was not only fired for refusing to read a commercial endorsement, she signed a contract forcing her to not seek broadcast-based employment for six months (I can understand it if she quit voluntarily, but she was bounced out — unemployment benefits recognize the difference between "you're fired" and "I quit"). Read these and weep.

I also wish they could get new tables and chairs — the old ones wobble like Weebles.
