Memorial day

 Man i do not get my work some times. Ha ha that's an understatement. So i work for an american company and yesterday was Memorial day. Since it was a holiday they only wanted about 30 of us to work the whole day as opposed to the over 100 people that would have normally been working. So a request was sent for 30 volunteers. Of course no one was going to volunteer. So works solution? Schedule everyone as planned. It was really dead--we were going half an hour between calls which i was loving. Because it was so dead people had to be sent home which is what they wanted in the first place. I got to go home early and  even pick up Diana from school. It was a win-win situation for me. Unfortunately the day after a holiday  usually sucks. Not really looking forward to todays shift. Will i have a nervous breakdown today? Time will tell

Another awesome Geeky weekend

  Well the weekend is done and it was great. Saturdays are my new vavorite dat of the week, Its the only day i get to spend with Kath and Diana. Saturday afternoon we met up with Rob and Nickle in Welland at a star wars themed con called fun expo. Lots of star wars stuff for sale. Made ne wanna punch the younger version of myself for breaking a lot of my old toys. That stuff is worth a pretty penny now. Our artist friend John Bulmer was there as well. He's been really pimping Get Your Geek On. He was handing out our business cards and he has a huge banner with his art on it that mentions gygo as well. Man we really appreciate the publicity.   Like most cons i managed to find 1 vendor with tons of cool cheap stuff. I bought some old  Spider man Macdonalds toys from the 90's and found some comics for 50 cents a piece. I think i spent a total of 7 bucks.  It was pretty sweet.

  We also got confirmation that we got a press pass for the Niagara falls comic con.Diana gets in free so we only had to but one ticket. We're going to see if there's anyone we can interview. Burt ward from batman and Robert Picardo from Stargate are both going to be there. Our friend John Merry is coming. It's his first ever comic book convention. Its gonna be in 2 weeks. Can't wait.

We wrapped up Saturday night with our first trip to the drive in of 2012. Took Diana to see Men In Black 3 and the animated Pirates band of misfits. Great night. Mib 3 was awesome. Had a twist ending that was sad though. You aren't supposed to cry during a Men In Black film. Anyhow all great things come to an end and we were already planning our next weekend

Weekend!

  Thank God its Friday! The first day of my weekend. Its a hot one out there. Just getting ready to go pick up the kid and get ice cream at macdonalds.Taking it easy with the fam tonight. Gonna watch the first 2 men in black movies. Going to the drive in in tomorrow to see men in black 3. I can't believe its been a decade since the last film. Most importantly i am not at work today. I came home early yesterday. Its such a happy feeling and a relief when i walk out that door. Good times indeed. I've been working on the next 3 episodes of get your geek on. Can't wait to record them. Well I'm off to get Diana.  Talk to you later.

Are you new?

  Ok so the day ended great. The beginning of the day sucked as do most days at work. If you've been to this blog before then you know that's not new. There was a lot of bitching and complaining. It wasn't all that busy but i was on some long ass calls. One lady asked me like 10 questions in a row. One question right after another, Before i could open my mouth to try and answer at least one of them--she asked me if i was new? Apparently the 5 seconds she gave me to answer all the questions wasn't enough time. I've been asked if i was new before and it just rubs me the wrong way.  Anyhow at 3;30 as i was going to lunch they started sending people home because it wasn't busy. I got asked and thought hmmm i really want to leave this hell hole but don't want to miss 3 hours of pay. I texted Kath and she convinced me to come home. Bless her heart. I couldn't take much more. Thank God for having such an understanding wife

Awesome customers

Oh  i did forget to mention some recent awesome customers. I spoke with a leonard Weiner and his name seriously suited him. Also spoke with a customer who made me say the name of the porn on her bill. She wouldn't leave it at just an adult movie. Nope she had to hear that big black boners was ordered. Good times

Is the day over yet?

Well i've barely started my day and I'm ready to go back to bed. Kath had to go get a new tire this morning before she could make it to work. I got woken up at 6 in the morning by a pair of growling cats. There's some  stupid sales rally at work today. Yay. Just what i want a loud work environment. I just want the day to be over. Not in the mood for angry customers. Just wanna stay home and watch Thor, Is that so wrong?

Birthday party

On Saturday we threw a big birthday party for Diana. She invited 5 of her friends over and we had a barbeque. Kath came up with some activities for the kids including cup cake decorating. It was nice but made me realize I'm cool with just the one kid. She's a great kid and i couldn't ask for a better child, However having 5 kids here was exhausting--although not as exhausting as putting up with red necks at the day job.
