Porn disputes oh how i have missed you.

Hooray! I got my wish. My first big porno dispute since i've been back at the cable company. Lady was disputing porn charges on bill stating that she didn't order movies like that. Meanwhile there was porn on every bill for 2 years and that seemed to be ok. As always here is some of the humorous titles that were ordered.

Varsity slut squad
Tap that fat taco--that seems racist
freshman butt sluts
casting call: 12 inches only--that seems unfit to men 11 inches and smaller
and finally the heartwarming film--hijack my hole--have we learned nothing from the terrorists?

It really is great to be back.
Not.

Made it to the weekend.

Thank God. I made it to the weekend. I had my doubts there for a bit. Customers were in fine form this week. A gentleman who sounded like Redd Foxx from sanford and son got into a yelling match with me today. Here's the dumb thing--i agreed with what he was saying and told him what he was saying was correct but he didn't see it that way. He said he wasn't comfortable talking to me because i didn't know what i was talking about. Um i was agreeing with what you were saying? Hello? I wasn't disputing a single thing he was saying. Everybody say it with me " the job would be great if it wasn't for the fucking customers!"


Speaking of ridiculous work crap. So Monday is family day-- a holiday that was made up less then 5 years ago. Tuesday we got an email saying that 50 of us could take the day off as a paid holiday. I jumped at the chance--a 3 day weekend? Yes please. I put in my request at noon that day and waited. I still hadn't heard back from my manager on Thursday afternoon. I had to let our babysitter know whether or not she would be taking Diana on Monday. Turns out my manager had emailed the request to the wrong department. Here's where it gets super dumb. My schedule for Monday changed today--i guess I'm getting most of Monday off. I have to go in at 8 at night and i'm done at--are you ready for this? 8:30. So I'm off all day and have to go to work for half an hour that night. So lame. Yay me.

Some random rambling on a wednesday night

Wow I have been neglecting the ol' blog. 15 days into the month and this is only my 2nd blog. The Stewart family has been sick. Last week Kath had to go pick up Diana because she coughed so hard at school that she threw up. Did i tell you how brave my daughter is when it comes to throwing up? She doesnt even care. She was mad that she had to go home sick. I still cry when i throw up. Its the worst feeling in the world.

Other than that not to much has been happening. I'm still getting used to being back in the land of the redneck. So many angry calls. I'm not a happy camper. Thats putting it nicely.

In cool news-- Allison and i have emailed a few times now. I'm happy to be reconnecting with an old friend. High school was a rough time and I'm lucky i had friends like her and Scott to help get me through it. In feeling old news I just realized high school started 29 years ago. Holy crap. I'd like to stop aging now please.

We had Hunter and Kristen on the show again last Sunday. It was our valentines day show and it was good to have one of our super geek couples on. Its nice to have new friends as well and they are a really nice couple. I know Kristen from the day job. Hunter started listening to our show when he was teaching in Korea last year. They're currently planning their wedding. In other feel old news they were born a year before i started high school. Hey i may be old but i feel like a nerdy kid.

Anyhow I'm gonna get to bed now. I'm gonna try and write some more this weekend. Take care everybody,

For Allison

Just heard back from my friend Allison, As you recall We've been friends since grade 9 way back in the day. We used to write letters to each other in school and through the mail. This continued for many years before the dawn of the internet and emailing. Her 12 year old daughter Aivry thinks that its cool we used to do that. I was almost tempted to get out the old pen and paper and do it again. Then i realized my handwriting is just plain awful. I can't even read it myself sometimes. You would think it would be easy to write now that email exists but i have really slacked off writing over the years. I suck i know. I'm trying to keep up to date this year. It makes me happy hearing back from my friends especially after a long day of red necks yelling at me.
I have all her old letters as well as old letters from other friends over the years. There's a box of them in my basement. I'm thinking of reading them and feeling old.

Anyhow Allison isn't on facebook anymore and mentioned she misses seeing pics of Diana so will leave some on this blog.

Diet is a go

Oh i just remembered one thing in January that did make me happy. I started a diet January 1st and so far it seems to be working. I've lost 9 pounds. My short term goal was 12 so i am almost there. If i could lose another 10 after that befoer wizard world in April that would be awesome. I've started drinking more water and cutting out all the extra crap i was eating. Its amazing what happens when you dont eat 6 cookies for lunch.

Good riddance January

I know it seems like i say this at the end of every month but i can't wait for this month to be over. Shitty weather, i was sick 3 times,part of my tooth fell out and i'm back at the cable company. I don't have a whole lot going on in February. I am going with Kath and Diana to see Star Wars episode 1 in 3d. All 6 star wars movies are being remastered in 3d and they will be released 1 a year for the next 6 years. Sure its the worst of the star wars films but I'm excited Diana gets to see Star wars on the big screen. Also that movie had my favorite of all the light sabre duels. That'll be in 3 weeks. Also Kristen and Hunter are gonna be on the february 12th episode of get your geek on. So i have 2 things to look forward to next month. Suck it January. Suck it long and suck it hard.

Diana's playdate

I'm so excited for my kid. She just got invited to her first play date after school tomorrow. Her friend sarah invited her over. Her mom wrote us a note and invited Diana over. I think thats really cool. Diana has a best friend ! that makes me really happy. I guess they are both alike in a lot of ways and they are both shy. I'm glad they found each other. Friends are important. I can't wait to get through my next horrible shift to hear all about it.
