So here I am, working on fixing my Jeep back up so I can install a new head unit, when I discover that the motherfuckers who broke into my car destroyed the wiring and antena. Oh well, shit happens. But strangely enough though, I feel like a slush puppy right about now.

The girl I’m referring to in this song is Charter Communications.

It was in the spring one sunny day
My good gal left me Lord she went away
And now she’s gone but I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

She called me up from down in St. Louis
Said come back, daddy, Lord I need you so
And now she’s gone but I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Show me a woman a man can trust
And now she’s gone but I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

Mississippi River, long, deep and wide
The woman I’m loving is on the other side
And now she’s gone but I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

You don’t like my peaches, don’t you shake my tree
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
And now she’s gone but I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

Don’t you come here running, holding out your hand
I’ll get me a woman like you got your man
And now she’s gone but I don’t worry
‘Cause I’m sitting on top of the world

Turns out that due to some petty issues a former friend of mine has with her boyfriend going crazy over finding another guys phone number in her cellphone, that I’m being terminated from my job.

Long, and I mean extremely long story short.

She gave me her computer before Christmas to fix it. I found the issue, but couldn’t afford to fix it for her, she needed a new HDD, and if she didn’t have a copy of Windows, then she’d have to buy one. Thinking around a total of 300-400 dineros.

Cut to several months later, and several requests for her to pay up or take the PC back.

I finally get around to buying a HDD & a new copy of Windows XP for it, right around $300.00. She still never pays up on it.

Cut to early June now.

I tell her that I’m tired of dealing with this and that I just want it out of here, she says she can’t pay me but offers to let me take nude photos of her to which I decline.

A week later, he boyfriend finds my number in her cellphone from where I texted her the PC was ready and that I’d bring it in later that week. He goes psycho on my phone, while I was sleeping, saying he’s going to kill me and knows I work at Charter.

Next day, I call in to work because I didn’t want to deal with a psycho guy trying to kill me at work.

I come to work the following day, tell her that I’ll bring her PC to her on Thursday, but then Norma’s car had an issue and I had to take her to work, so I didn’t make it in to work early that day to drop off the pc at another girls desk as she told me.

Cut to an hour later while I was getting her loaded and ready to go, and I get an anonymous call telling me that the pc girl told the other girl I threatened to kill her on my personal site that required a login and a password to see all posts. (Yes, there are some posts on here that are marked private and only viewable once logged in, but never once have I ever threatened harm to any one ever.) Sure, I’ll admit I’ve said some people need to die or be hurt, but never did I say I was going to do it. It’d be like me saying “The President should be shot!” does that mean I’m going out to do it? No, that’d be stupid, just stating an opinion. No slander, defamation of character or bodily threats have ever entered this site beyond stating someone should be beat down or shot for their own idiocy.

Cut to the next day, after I took this site down for maintenance, when Schaun Gray and Maryanne Dorsey call me on a conference call to discuss “Issues at work with other employees” hiding what they were really calling me about, until I told them I was already well aware of the situation from certain people calling me to tell me how glad they were to be helpful in me losing my job.

To be honest, I feel this is reverse discrimination, and so does the department of labor and my lawyer. I filed a similar report two years ago on Chris Gabeheart, but in my case he blatantly stated on his Xanga site “I will kill you James if you talk to Ashley again” I took this issue to HR, and all they told me what that since it took place outside the work area, no email, no instant messages at work, no verbal words used at work, there is no legal issue that Charter themselves can become involved in. If I would like to further pursue it, I’d have to contact a lawyer and file a criminal complaint against Chris. But what is this that is happening to me now? I merely stated I felt someone should be shot down off their high horse, that I wouldn’t care if they’d be killed or not, but never once said I was going to do it, and Charter backs this woman completely 100% and has already filed the paperwork for my termination? Blatant reverse discrimination 100% to the max, but seeing as this is an extremely sexist society, in that a woman can never ever once do anything evil or wrong, I’m pretty certain I will be jobless the next 24 hours, if not sooner.

Fascinating, someone sympathetic to my cause told me that security is preparing for me to come in either today or tomorrow and to have the police there and have me immediately escorted off the property once I sign my termination papers and turn in my headset and badge. I hope they’re wrong about that, and that Charter does see the light and that this is a ridiculous thing going on.

I’ll move to DOS, I’ll apply for CB, I’ll do anything if it means I get to keep my job as it’s really the only thing I have to look forward to when I wake up in the morning currently.

Went to the Bats game on Thursday for free, as our landlord at my employer gave us 8 tickets to the game. Four people were allowed to pick the tickets up, and I lucked into being one of those four.

I took my dad, and no one else who got the tickets bothered to show up. I know without any doubt I could have gotten 6 other people to come along with me and my dad. Lamers.

Pictures are here, fun times. The Bats lost 13-12 in the 12th against the Toledo Mudhens.

Back in TTM because I was associated with several other individuals on the team who had been known as troublemakers, I was put on a high level of monitoring. Good times. I did nothing wrong back then, and I still do nothing wrong now. Shit, I don’t even threaten people in the workplace. I mean if I do have an issue, I do bring it up on my personal site, sure I may be mean and callous about my statements, but never once do I threaten that I’ll hurt someone myself, just stating that maybe they should be taken care of or knocked off their high horse.

After carefully explaining to a very angry lady that we had to wait on SBI for her A-record information to go through, and that we couldn’t do anything to speed it up, no I can’t let you talk to them, etc… she replies with “What the HELL is this world coming to?!”

Oh…I’m sorry ma’am. I forgot that your business is the center of the world. I guess by relying on someone else to do what we are unable to, we have inadvertently caused armageddon. My bad. Can I credit you back for the time you’ve had to wait? Have a great day.

 

 

People SUCK.

 

Edit: In retrospect, this sounds very angry so…um……

Bunnies! and stuff.

Edit by Teh James: For those who don’t know, an A-Record is this – A 1 RFC 1035 address record returns a 32-bit IPv4 address, most commonly used to map hostnames to an IP address of the host. In other words, a basic A-Record maps www.yahoo.com to it’s IP of 209.191.93.52

When we ask you for your phone number, do not give us a story about “Well it’s funny you should ask that, cause my number is XXX-XXX-XXXX, but I think you guys have it under XXX-XZZ-ZXZZ.” Wouldn’t it be easier to just tell us the phone number that the account is under, then just simply ask “Hey, can you guys change that please?” That’ll garner a much more positive response than a long story that doesn’t push along our resolution for your issue.

When I ask you to read me off everything in your ADD OR REMOVE PROGRAMS list, I really do mean everything. Yes, when you get half way through the A’s, and ask me again, I really do mean everything.

What? You don’t remember last year, when you complained about your bill being so high, that they mentioned this “Homenetworking” charge, and you were all like “I don’t need that, take it off,” and now you’re angry that I won’t support your wireless equipment? I offer you support for $4.99/month, but instead you decide to cancel all services with us, thank you for removing your ignorance from my face.

“I’d like for you to lower my bill”
Excuse me? I’m internet repair, did you have an issue with your internet service?
“Yes, I want you to lower my bill!”
Oh, okay, let me get your account and see what we can do, I see you have expanded basic cable and base internet for 129.97/month now, with phone service through us, I can upgrade you to our biggest package with over 600 channels, keep the same internet speed and activate phone service with us for the exact same price you’re paying now, which would lower your overall monthly bills in total, and this is not a promotional period at all.
“I can get the same bundle from AT&T for 99/month”
Their bundle is 1.5 mbps internet, ours is 5mbps internet, theirs includes The Dish network for video, ours includes all the premium channels that won’t cost you extra, their phone service is a traditional line that will be used by the DSL service, so if you want to still use your phone, you’ll have to get a second phone line, sure you’re paying less but in 6 months time it’ll jump up to more than the 129 with us.
“I want to cancel all services with you and go with them.”
Okay, thank you for calling, let me get you to customer service now so they can further assist you.

Bad Spirits be gone! I banish you from my home and my website and my work place, leave me be and leave me in peace.

 Tip Number 1: 

You. You have 30 minutes of break time, and an hour of lunchtime.  You should have plenty of time to eat(the rest of us do). So why, oh why, do you torment me, by waiting UNTIL the break is over, to break out the food. And it’s not just a snack like a granola bar or something, oh no. No, it’s a bowl of cereal, and a bag of chips. Now I’m sure that doesn’t sound too bad, but here’s the worst part. The worst part is, you don’t just eat them. You indulge them. You are like the character in those commercials, where they pour in the milk all sensual-like. Mmm….Sexy-O’s.

(update)

Apparently, after our last break ended, you went to Mccallister’s, got an entire meal, and brought it back here, only to eat it soon, I assume. Also, you keep leaving inexplicably. Can I do this?

 

Tip Number 2:

You sir, although you do occasionally ask an extremely important question, and tend to keep our class lively, just need to remember one thing: If you have to preface a question with “I know this is out of our support scope” or “I know we don’t need to know this but….” than you probably shouldn’t be asking it. This leads to long discussions, of pointless topics, and stupid questions arise as a result. Seriously. Think about it.

 

Tip Number 3:

You. Sitting next to me. Please don’t talk. Again. Ever. Thanks.

 

Tip Number 4:

Really. Don’t talk. I was serious. Sticking my head in a maggot infested toilet, filled with old livers and poisonous snakes, while simultaneously tearing off my finger nails one by one and shoving them into an open wound that I have scraped into forehead, and than tearing out my eyeballs and replacing them with moldy cumquats is preferable to hearing your voice. Poor children are starving because you speak.

 

Tip Number 5:

I know that you know people in the department we are headed into. That’s just great. In fact, it’s more than great, but see, nobody cares. Nobody is excited about the fact that somehow, we were blessed with the presence of someone who’s communicated with those untouchable beings, that are in the other department. Oh wait no…we are IN that department now. We don’t look up to you as a result, nor does that impart to you any extra bonuses or powerups. Not even a single green shell. So please stop mentioning it, every other sentence. This also applies to you, the guy who thinks that we’re somehow ascending into godhood because of this new position. It’s a promotion….not a friggin knighting. You’re still a peon buddy, wake up.

 

Tip Number 6:

You and you, and you. All of you. You do not know more about this job than the trainer. Period.

 

Tip Number 7:

YOU! How many times do I have to tell you to stop talking?

 

Tip Number 8:

Sir, nobody understands what you’re saying. Words come out of your mouth, but they are indecipherable. When we somehow translate your Mumblish into  English, we realize we still don’t understand what you’re trying to tell us. Perhaps you should get into a different profession. Like maybe being a deaf-mute or something.

 

 Tip Number 9:

We are in a small room. Let’s use our inside voices.

 

Tip Number 10:

Can you at least pretend to be professional? Please? I mean, I know we’re just sitting here all day, but I would think you would have realized that there is a line between what is appropriate at home, and what is appropriate at work. Some things are just inappopriate to discuss, during class.

 

Tip Number 11:

Kill me. Please.

 

Tip Number 12:

When we make a mistake, and after I explain to the confused party why we were mistaken, do not continue trying to explain our point. We were wrong, and you aren’t paying attention.

 

Tip Number 13:

Dude. You should really stop making such creepy statements. Man. I mean seriously. Today alone,  you’ve talked about cutting people’s brake lines multiple times. You’ve said other things that are just plain frightening. There are children present! Well…just me mostly. But man you’re creepy.

 

Tip Number 14:

You…in the corner. I have no tips for you. You’re cool. You look kind of worried all the time, and maybe nervous too. But that’s ok. You don’t really talk. You don’t say anything stupid. I pretend like you are a cool guy, and I hope that image doesn’t get shattered by you beginning to speak. So I guess I have one tip. Just keep on doing what you’re doing.

 

Tip Number 15:

I was helping a customer access their charter.net email address today, and I noticed THIS….an actual news story. That people read. With their eyes. In real life.

April 24 – Lindsay Lohan flashes a peace sign after leaving a Beverly Hills Restaurant.

It gets better.

It has a video.

http://www.charter.net/video/?vid=143442&sc_cid=wccel2

 

I mean….seriously? Is this what our country has come to? We have wars and global warming and human rights being violated and one of our biggest news stories is Linsday Lohan flashing a peace sign at some paparazzi?

Jake….is very disappointed….

I…..am posting. Since I have never posted here previously(except via comment) this first post shall be dedicated to….this blog. I have noticed several things which I found immensely humorous.

Exhibit A:

 

Funny? Anyone? Am I alone here? Ok…well…..HAHAHHAHAHAHHA

 

Exhibit B:

I think it’s hilarious that Charter and Idiots are the top two posting tags. Yes….and yes.

But I also feel bad for Assholes and lolcat…..they should have more prominence. More posts related to them James…..more indeed. yes. yes.

 

I wish I had something substantial to post about, but alas, nothing. It’s a sad day for all of us, I know. I guess it’s time to go search for life’s answers at the bottom of my cup of tea.

Three minutes, that is their fault and error. Three whole minutes, and they destroy your life. On vacation, and some jacktard decides to do a “Manual Entry” to remove 3 minutes so that Norma would loose her job.
