A DJ at a station where I'd worked called me in the '90s to ask if I wanted to work full-time there, splitting office work, production work, and on-air work roughly into thirds.
Before telling me about the job, he informed me that the previous program director had resigned.
I asked him, "Who's the program director now, then?"
"I'm the man. I'm the guy. I'm the p.d.," he responded.
No ambiguity there. It was surprising to hear such an even-tempered, mild-mannered person take ownership of his job so resolutely.
