I think I have found the phone of my dreams

I have seen this phone since it came out about a year ago, and only up untill now its been affordable. My contract is about to expire on the 20th, and Im going to see if I can't get this phone with a slight discount. When I went into the T-Mobile store here in town the phone listed for more than it is online. Im going to see if I can get it billed to the phone over time, and still get a rebate!

Will let you all know.
It's me, right? Are people just plain idiots?

Every morning I come to work and have to deal with discrepency reports. They are essentially a report that tells the traffic department here at the station that there were commercials that didn't play, or a commercial wasn't in the computer system to play. This report is to be viewed the next buisness day to bill the clients (the advertisers) for the commercials that did play. This system works to a certain degree. If a commercial plays alright, but the commercial wasn't placed into the log correctly, its alright according to these idiots.

Im old school radio. An error is an error. For the past 3 weeks now, the same error has been happening where a commercial isn't being placed to air, and I catch it in time for it to air sometime in its scheduled time frame. I've discreped the spot many times, and no good seems to have come to fruition. Its getting to be an annoyance to sit down and write untill my hand cramps to remind these people to do their job. My hand wouldn't cramp so much if someone here at the station didn't steal my cool pen. It was ergonomic, and had a stylus for my Panasonic's touchpad.

Managment here is a joke. Our leader belittles employees from getting their raise and keeps good employees here from going to other jobs thanks to a 'No Compete' law in our contracts. Its now easily nullified thanks to an error on his part, but oh well. Im thinking of going elsewhere soon. I can't take too much more of this, the unattentive managment and the lack of better pay.

Im going to look for more cool links today. Peace!!

STRANGE FINDINGS FROM THE INTERNET

Ooh and aah all morning long at these sites. Im a Geek. Which is weird since the site I found this on a blog from a fellow geek. I scored a 22% on the geek test, and the guy I found this site from scored a 33%. I thought he would have scored much more, but us geeks rarely score...

I spent way too much time on this site. Im a DISEASED PORN STAR WHO LOVES TO CORRUPT VIBRATORS. No one ever said I didn't have a hobby.

Im going to be sick immediately after this. There is just no rational explination for this. Please, I warned you. Do not sue me for your utter disgust.

I've found many inspirational and motivational posters out on the internet, and I thought I would never find another set funnier than the ones from Think Geek, but I have. This is for all my motivationally challenged friends who love to party.

And finally, I found this advertisement for Ghetto Airlines. WARNING - MAKE SURE LISTENING ENVIRONMENT IS A 'SAFE TO LISTEN' ENVIRONMENT. COMMERCIAL HAS EXPLICIT, YET HILARIOUS CONTENT

Enjoy you online junkies...
Tangerine Alert... Watch for tangerines flying

Im still kicking. Life goes on, and I follow. It's a nice agreement. Nothing new has happened as of yet. I keep thinking that this is the calm before the storm. I can't place my finger on it, but it seems like one of those lingering feelings that occupy the back of your head that something is on its way. Maybe its my lack of sleep. I don't know why Im so tired lately. I fell asleep sometime around 3:30pm yesterday. I woke at about 7pm cause of the garage door. I couldn't get back to sleep untill sometime past 1am.

The computer is still down, the room is ashambles, the car is dirty, the bank account is being looted by my bills, and Im at a strange complacency that thinks life is good.

Ive done some soul searching lately, and I will spill it all later. Right now Im busy at work. Ive been listening to:

Queen - Somebody to love
Asia - Heat of the Moment
Electric Light Orchestra - Sweet Talking Woman
Eagles - Lyin' Eyes

The next one will be interesting.

Holding off... Don't know for how long...

The eMachine is still down. I found out what happened to it, so Im trying to recover my files so I can wipe the system again and reformat with WinME. Its less stable than Win2K, but it will have to do. Im tired lately. I don't know why. Sunday morning it felt like I hadn't slept all that well, to which I didn't. I guess the sinking feeling that the computer is shot untill I can pull the data out of it is what really hurts.

I put a call into 2 people for help, maybe I can see if the engeneer here at the station has a solution to help out. He's been good on information lately, so he may be another option.

I wasn't in the mood to listen to music today. After listening to KLAQ, and hearing the same old shit they play, I turned to all the other presets on my radio. KHRO, KLAQ, KTSM, KHEY, KSII, XHEPR, KPRR all had SHIT flowing thru the airwaves. I just shut off the radio. I had the CD player in the car with me, but I didnt feel like hooking it up, and messing with it this morning. Even at work I haven't listened to anything.

I may go home and take a nice nap in a cold, dark room. It just feels like one of those days.
