High School Reunion--whoopity do!

So i guess last weekend was the 50th anniversary of my high school SWC. I gotta be honest, I'm glad i saved my money and stayed home. My sister went and said it was no big deal. There was nobody i really wanted to see. Well would have been cool to see if Mr Mitchinson still looked like Buck Rogers. I still stay in touch with Scott, Colin and Allison. Also anybody else i give 2 craps about I have become friends with on facebook. I gotta admit i wasnt a big fan of my school. Don't get me wrong, i enjoyed going if only to hang out with my pals but i was a social outcast. At our school if you didn't conform to what everybody else was doing then you would get made fun of. I mentioned in an earlier blog that air guitar was fixed--just about everything else was as well. My buddy Scott ran for student council one year-social comitee or something like that. I remember the day of the speeches almost falling asleep from boredom in the audience. Scott was one of the last speeches and he was seated at the end of the table with all the candidates. His name got announced,he jumped up on the table,threw his shoes in the air and danced down to the podium. He had the most exciting speech of the day. The other guy he was running against didnt even show for the speeches. What should have been a landslide victory turned into a loss. Did i mention the other guy never even showed up? Because he was one of the "long haired freaks" of swc or skids as they called us, Scott never stood a chance. I still don't know why i was labelled a "skid". I had short hair and wore ties all the time back then. It was crap like that that made me dislike that school. Oh well i guess it could have been worse I could have gone to Merriton. I so would have gotten my ass kicked at that school. Anyhow to sum up-happy as hell i didnt go to the lame reunion and just as happy that i have the same friends from those days.

I miss my old team they were a blasty blast

Argh! Thats pretty much the only word i can use to describe my day. So I got a new manager and had to move my stuff to the opposite side of the call centre. The row i moved to is so dirty its not even funny. The desks are all clutterred with crap. For some reason everyone has their own assigned seating in the new row. I've been there over 7 years and have never had assigned seating. Everybody had a sign on the back of their seats stating no one else could sit there. I got a little tired of hearing "nope can't sit there thats where so and so sits." None of my friends are on my new team. For the first time in over 2 years I'm not sitting with Trudy or Deb or Ken. So other than speaking with customers i was fairly quiet. There are a few people down there that are very loud as well. Usually if you need a supervisor you would just put up your hand. Not the people in my new section. Whenever they wanted a supervisor instead of putting up their hand-they would just start yelling. Good times. I'm going to make sure that i have extra asprin with me at all times. Oh and my first 3 of 4 calls were all yellers wanting supervisors. It was so awesome! Not.Anyhow I'm just home on my hour lunch and trying to put myself in a good mood. Just listening to some Dane Cook and it seems to be cheering me up. So much in fact that i will put a pic up of him showing the super finger. Funny enough i seem to be flipping the bird to my computer screen a lot today. Yup Jay is losing his mind-again.

Anyhow Going back to work in a few minutes. Hooray! Spoke to my mom and going with her to see Star Trek next Tuesday. Also ran into Allison and her family at Burger King the other day. Nice seeing you guys again. Yes i was there geting Star Trek toys. Yes I am a gigantic nerd. Other good news to report:Diana is kicking serious ass with her toilet training. I'm very proud of the kid. That makes me happy. Ok kids its back to the old grind. Talk to you all later

Happy birthday baby girl

Man time flies. Four years ago yesterday (may 16) was the day Diana was born. Its one of the happiest days of my life. I can't believe she's four. She's growing up too fast. I wish she could stay little forrever. She'll always be my baby even when she's old and grey. She wasnt planned but i can't imagine life without her. She makes me smile on a daily basis. We had a birthday party today for her. Kath made a cake shaped like Abby Kadabi from Sesame Street. Our friends and family helped us celebrate. We got our "big girl" her first bike. She did ok on her first test drive. She just has to get used to the pedals. SHe is also doing awesome with the toilet training. She rules! Happy birthday Diana I love you very much!

oh darn i think i missed the episode where the Skipper hit Gilligan with his stupid hat

Howdy folks. Just got back from work. As you know my work has been turning out the lights playing the dumbest crap on a big screen. I don't know why, No one watches it and everyone complains that its too dark. I didn't think that "Mickey Mouse playing golf" could be topped. I was wrong. Today was non stop episodes of Gilligans Island. So while the episodes were playing i saw several things that bothered me.

1) They couldnt fix that little hole in the boat? They could build a car and keep the radio going for 15 years though.

2) seriously why did the Howells need to bring everything they owned including a big ass trunk of money on a three hour cruise?

3) Why didnt someone just drown Gilligan. He totally f 'ed up every chance they had at getting rescued. What a douche in a white hat.

4) Did i actually see an episode where the Skipper couldnt decide what to wear to the Howells party. Gee I don't know how about your blue shirt and black skippers hat. Dumb ass.

5) why didnt their beards grow? Let me guess the Professor invented razors that lasted for 15 years.


I really hope that next week theres no more lame videos. They'll probably run thr Brady Bunch or something though. Yay Me!!

Random things pissing off the Jaymeister this week

Today was my first day off of the week and not a moment to soon. I actually had a customer tell me that i seemed annoyed talking to him. The truth of the matter was--i really was annoyed. He had done nothing but bitch for 20 minutes straight and i think he said "what the hell" at least ten times. I had to repeat everything at least 3 times. Maybe i should have done my best to disguise how annoyed i was but it was my last call of the day and after listening to almost a hundred people go off on me, i just wanted to go home. It had been that kind of a day. I think one guy even told me to burn in hell. It was a glorious day!

Lets see what other awesome things are going on? Oh yeah for some reason theres a billion mosquitos buzzing around our complex. It doesnt look disgusting at all.

I realized yesterday that i need to lose some weight. I dieted last summer and lost 10 pounds. The bad thing is since last summer i gained that back plus an additional 9 pounds. I gotta get in shape. I think i'm going to start a new diet after Diana's party. Oh yes i will lose the Chris Farley gut. Oh yes i will.

So Colin Hay announced 2 concerts at the casino. For those of you not familliar with his work he was in a band in the early 80's called Men At Work. He's had a bunch of solo albums since. I've seen him before and had my pic taken with him(see above). So in a previous blog i was bitching about expensive ticket prices-especially for acts that peaked in the 80's and 90's. For once the tickets were not to bad-26.00 dollars. Kath was excited and we thought we might be going-until we saw the dates for the shows--August 28 and 29. This is the same weekend as the comic book convention we go to every year and theres no way Kath is going to be able to get Friday the 28th off as well. Someone doesnt want me going to a concert ever again.

Wow I'm starting to sound like a little bitch so I'm going to wrap things up and think of some nice things to blog about

Somedays won't end ever

Another craptastic Monday has come and gone. what a horrific day at work. At one point i had to get a supervisor 4 calls in a row. For some reason it felt like all porn disputes were going to my phone.My favorite(sarcasm anyone?) call of the day came from quite possibly the noisiest call i ever took. There was screaming from at least 2 kids ,the tv sounded like the volume was turned all the way up and it sounded like someone was hitting 2 pots together. The lady on the phone was upset that there was a porno title on her bill. She thought that maybe we had made a mistake. No way was there ever an adult movie ordered in her home. Meanwhile in reality there was at least 2 pornos on every bill since 2006. I kid you not. I wrote down some of the movies ordered as they made me laugh out loud. These include: Black poles, Black Bottom Pies, Chocolate milfs, cougar landlady and of course the classic blow me sandwich, Since there was a long history of nudie films on the account there was no way i was applying any credit. So i had to get a supervisor. I got the supervisor who never backs me up and will credit anything no matter what the situation was. This was the guy who one time credited a dirty movie because the customer didnt like the fact there was no girl on girl action in it. Long story short--it must have been a cold day in hell today. For a change this particular supervisor totally backed me up and refused credit. One little victory for Jay!


Yesterday turned out pretty cool. I ended up going to see Star Trek with Kath and our friends Andrea and Mike. I am still taking my mom in a couple of weeks to see it as well. The movie was awesome. It was cool seeing the origin of Kirk and Spock. Kath loved it and she's never seen a Star Trek movie in her life. Kudos to JJ Abrams for revivng the Star Trek franchise. Afterwards we went to Pizza Hutt and finally exchanged Christmas presents with Mike. He was none to thrilled with the Hannah Montana pillow we got him.

Shout out to all the mothers

Man why did i think it was a good idea to stay up late blogging? I'm so exhausted right now. I went to bed around 4. I did manage to bring Merlin upstairs for the night. Figured he might want to sleep on a bed or carpet for a change instead of a hard concrete basement floor. I'm nice that way.

Well just wanted to wish all the mothers out there a nice mothers day. Especially my two favorite moms-Kath and my own mother. I always got along great with my mom. She was always so much cooler than my dad. She was always going to movies and even concerts with us. I remember one time going to see John Mellencamp. My mom was right there with us-my dad just wanted to sleep in the car. She's still pretty cool and still looks out for me. To this day if she hears any news about singers i like or movies she will give me a shout. I'm going to take her to see the new Star Trek when our schedules line up. If she would just get off my case about cutting my hair than she would be perfect!


To answer a couple of my comments--

Nickle: It is always cool when you hang out with us. The grocery shopping/star trek glass perusing was fun. We will have to keep doing it. The shopping that is. You will really be helping us out a lot if you can keep Kath company while i wait for a passport. You rock. No hard feelings about the shopping cart charley horse. Oh and was also happy that Rob was wearing pants when i helped you with the groceries

Allison: yeah there was a bunch of preppy guys that wore white suits and wigs and did Staying Alive every year. Would have been kinda sorta ok if they would have maybe done a different bee gees song at some point. Yeah it was a fun time being in the air guitar contest. Maybe its a little sad that was a highlight of high school for me.
