I second the notion that you should keep your job. You just need to balance work and school. Sounds difficult, but it really isn't. Those things your friends reminded you of are not reasons to quit your job. If you need to, tell your boss you need to cutback on your hours a little. Work a couple evenings a week or something, this way you also have a couple for studying and other school related stuff.

Heard back from TWN this morning:

Quote
Dear Heather,

Thank you for your e-mail and your feedback regarding our music selection.

I’m sure you can appreciate how difficult it is to select music that will appeal to a broad spectrum of people.  We receive so many requests for varying music selections that it is literally impossible to meet everyone’s needs.  Once again, thank you for your feedback and I will share your comments with the programming team.

We are currently looking into new music selections, but I’m not aware of the timelines for this music change. 


Regards,

My only response to that letter is: TWC's been doing it for 26 years without a problem. What makes it so much more difficult for TWN?  :unsure:

Didn't TWN used to change the music for the LF every season or something like that? Or maybe 2-3 times a year?

A long long time ago..

They also had day playlists, like one song for the morning, one for the afternoon, one for overnight, etc.

Here are the clips:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi9R5eL5NWc - Portland Weatherscan
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfwjYcVtT2I - Portland Intellistar #1
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwa4G-tpGwk - Portland Intellistar #2


Sorry that I'm bumping this post up, but wow! That's exactly the same Intellistar that I have (#22443)! From what I can tell, it appears that Comcast uses the same STAR for the entire Portland metro area, which probably explains the "Downtown Portland" current condition city.

My dad is probably going to be disconnecting the internet tomorrow afternoon, so I won't be online for a few days. We're leaving Colorado Springs on Thursday, and arriving back in California on Sunday. We've decided to go up through Wyoming, Utah, and Nevada, so hopefully I'll run into an older STAR. If there's wireless at a low cost at any of the hotels, I'll be sure to drop by and let you guys know if I found anything.

P.S. For those of you who were watching CriminalCola's stream last week, I still plan on having my brother film my reaction if there's another STAR. :P :D

Good luck with your legacy Star hunting! Hopefully you see at least one of those. B)
