customers are funny

Favorite quote of the week at work. So when anyone calls in we need to either verify a 4 digit code on their account or the answer to a security question. One lasy tried to answer the security question what is your favorite color? She answered--green something. Thats cool because i think my favorite shade of green is the popular green something. Yeah it apparently doesnt take much to ammuse me these days.

Assorted stuff

I just got back from taking Diana to school. I realized i'm behind in my blogging. I really hope this week is going to be a good week. I feel a little better about the shift bid. Still not liking the job so much though. Thats big news isn't it?

The weekend was pretty cool. Rob took us to the Buffalo comic con. Had a pretty good time. I spent a whopping 12 dollars but that got me 12 comics and the screenplay for clerks 2. It was a really good turn out this year. Fingers crossed that next year at this time Kath will have her passport so she can go.


Its starting to get cold outside. Not a fan of that. Hoping to get a new jacket soon to stay warm. Wow i sound really boring today. Maybe theres a reason i havent blogged so much this month. Anyhow I'm gonna go watch a bit of tv and go take a nap. Yup i am really old. Have a great day.

New manager rules!

So it turns out i got a new manager,and she's really cool. She's a lot more organized than the last one. I told her about my issues with working on Sunday,told her about get your geek on. It turns out our friend Kristen had mentioned to her awhile back that i had a show. So she said she would try really hard to get me that day off and i will probably work saturdays now. I don't have an issue with that because i worked just about every saturday for the last 10 years. Needless to say i'm in a good mood about this news. I'll keep u all posted

Gygo 100

One cool thing did happen to us this week. We aired our 100th episode of get your geek on. John was kind enough to record with us. I figured it would be awesome to have my friend of almost 30 years to be on with us. It went pretty good. We had a lot of listeners and it was a great time. I can't believe we've been lucky enough to do the show for 2 years. I know that if i don't get my sundays off we'll figure something out. Not ready for the show to die off just yet. I feel i have a lot of shows in me and its a lot of fun.

Shift bid again

Wow i haven't blogged a lot this month so far. October is not going well. So i got some awesome news this week. My shift at work will no longer exist. No more midnight shift. Because i worked that shift i was guaranteed my weekends off. I don't really care about Saturday but i need Sunday off to do Get Your Geek On. The call centre will now only handle calls from 10 am to 10 pm. I can still take Diana to school which is awesome. We got our shift bid choices yesterday and there was 42 different shifts. I could work with 25 of the shifts. Hopefully things will go my way. Fingers crossed.

Let Me say thank you

Havent written a blog in awhile but popped out here to wish all my Canadian friends and family a very happy thanksgiving. We're going to my mom's house for dinner. Turkey rules.

Stupid 3 am shift

Hey good day and welcome to october. Fridays shift really sucked. There was a big midnight madness thing going on so everyone and his brother called in. I started late--6:30 and worked until 3 am. It was busy until about 1am. Call after call. It sucked ass. When 1 hit it slowed down and died off. For the last 2 hours i just talked movies and comics with the other 3 people that were working. We had some laughs. Man i don't wanna work that late again. It totally blew. Have i mentioned i hated the shift?

This week should be interesting. Maybe get my shift bid papers and maybe get a new manager. Man i hope this week doesnt suck.
