Running On Ice at work and gluing with the yamster



Its now Friday, my second day off this week. I'll start this blog out with a shout out to Rob. Sorry if you got the impression i was mad at you for bringing up college the other day. Not at all man. Thats crazy. All you did was ask me about college. No big whoop. Its not like you anally raped my grandmother while dumping sugar into my gas tank. Thanks to Kevin Smith for that line. Just thought i would tell my story of why that experience pissed me off. Its all good. No worries man. You still rock! Thumbs up to you! Or as The Fonz would say, AAYYYYY!

So Wednesday i started my new "customers arent gonna piss me off" attitude. I was nothing but nice to everyone-even the ones that treated me like shit. I credited anything they wanted-even porn and as soon as someone would say i want a supervisor-i immediately transferred to one. I didnt waste my time trying to talk them out of it. Then i found out my supervisor marked me on another call from the day before. Really? The day that i was clearly in a bad mood where i already got pulled into the office for fighting with a customer? Are you serious? You couldnt have marked me on a call the folllowing day where i was the nicest man on earth? Yes i did poorly and yes he marked that i needed to watch my tone with the customer. I have a bad feeling that this one will cause me to get written up. Maybe I'm on thin ice. Who knows. I guess i'll find out on "crappy cartoon" Saturday. Stay tuned. Same Jay time, same Jay channel.


So yesterday we attended Diana's kindergarten open house. It was fun. The teachers are very nice. Diana got to do several activities. Drawing pictures,reading,play doh and gluing things onto a picture. It was her first experience with glue and scissors. She did great! We got there early and had a conversation with the principal.
Principal: "this your first time going to school Diana?"
Diana: "Yes. My new cats name is Merlin."
Principal "thays a great name. I have a cat to. He's 16 years old."
Diana; " well I'm 4 years old."

Then when we went in and met the 2 teachers Diana held out her hand and said: "i have pretend apples for you." I think she's going to have a great time when she starts in the fall. Yes I'm sad she's growing up so fast but I'm glad that she's going to have fun. She's going to make so many new friends.

Last night finally got to take my mom to see Star Trek. She loved it. It was our annual 1 movie a year. Before 2007 my mom and i hadnt seen a movie in 9 years. In 2007 we saw Live Free Or Die Hard and in 2008 Indiana Jones and The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull. So we are on a roll now.

Did a little bit of shopping before Kath had to go to work. Bought the first issue of the new Batman and Robin series. Seriously no one predicted Dick Grayson would be the new Batman? Kath bought some Muppet comics. I'm hoping that gets her back into reading comics. We used to read all the same comics together but she got out of it. Oh well. At least i have my other comic book friend Nickle. Oh i should also point we also bought a lego Indiana Jones video game for 22.00$. Someone at the head office of the video game store put the wrong bar code on the game so we for it for 8.00$ cheaper. So thank you head office guy for f'ing up. Pleasure doing business with ya!

Kath just went to work. Gonna eat lunch and take a trip over to the park for a game of catch. We'll also try and get some bike practice in to. Anyhow hope everyone is having a great day. Talk to you soon

Jay
