San Diego - 94.1 FM J&J Morning Show Drama Club Thread

[Transplant]

Hi Everyone! I hope and wish that all of my fellow DC'ers had a nice safe Holiday and got what they wished for!

I've been running in 20 different directions for well over 2 weeks with moving from my home of 20+ years to a new home while trying to keep it stable, comfortable and christmassy for my 7 y/o son and have finally been able to take a breather (after Cox got me connected) to catch up here and there on the numerous pages of chat! (Bye OKODM...it was nice being neighbors but we'll catch up again! )

Couple of things I would like to take a moment to comment on...

1. I loved all the stories of parents, grandparents etc who influenced our lives. Made me stop and think about people, family and friends that are long gone and gave me a nice smile

2. Moochie: I know you're still reading but refraining from posting. Please stop and assess your relationship. There are some warning signs that will scream at you...if you just ask yourself...try this test: http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take

3. Boris...you are just SOOOOO bad (but i love it!)

4. Jake: What can I say? Can I buy you dinner? (and a nice scotch on the rocks)

5. SDG: We need to go out sometime and have fun! You're a doll.

Everyone...have a safe and joyous New Years and let's make 2008 the best ever

[iamsheens]

By mistake, some anonymous stranger put three Target Gift CARDs thru our door mail slot. They are for people we don't know (we know all our neighbors). We've lived at this house for decades. They must have had the wrong street.

I just thought I'd share this since it uses the word of the day.

If you'd like I'd gladly accept a Target GIFT CARD. LOL...

[iamsheens]

OMG people...I'm about to loose my mind, what do you when you have a co-worker who makes all the rules because the boss doesn't care? My co-worker is driving me insane...she comes in late, leaves early, pawns her shifts on other people, decides the day before her shift she is going to take the day off, then bitches to other co-workers when I cant promise to come in because my Uncle died and I wanted to see if my family needed my moral support...she is selfish, inconsiderate, and only EVER thinking of herself.

She is pissed cause she has to work all day tomorrow by herself because I have a funeral to attend...as if I want to go to a funeral...if given the choice I'd rather work then have to say goodbye to a family member...I'm so irritated...my other co-workers are...we say something the boss doesn't care...what am I to do? Im about to go off on someone....ugh...any suggestions would be nice...sorry I just needed to vent...and I really just touched the tip of the iceberg...

[SDGirl87]

If it were me, I'd send an email to the boss and CC the co worker. Tell him that you will be out on Saturday to attend the funeral of a family member and that you appreciate that the company is so understanding in this tough time.

I'd also ask him (her?) in the email to define what YOUR work hours are and let him (her) know that you do your best to accommodate other people's last minute requests, but you can't always do that. Also ask for the policy for switching schedules, leaving early, late arrivals etc IN WRITING for clarification. In fact, I'd copy all of the "supervisors" to cover yourself.

Then, take tomorrow off and be with your family. They need you FAR more.

I'm so sorry for your loss

[califbrat]

Sheeny.. ask the bi*c*y if she would like one of her family members to die after being ill for a long time & she should go to the funeral service instead of you..does she have a heart or a brain? Tell her you would trade places with her in a heartbeat but then it sounds like she wouldn't give a damm anyway..

ditto sdgirl.. you always say it better & with class! I was just pissed off when I read what Sheeny has to deal with!

Sheens - great minds think alike! I was just about to post the SAME THING!!!

I can only guess that this is a small, family type business? Does your boss have a boss?

Does part of your job include covering someone else's shift? Are you getting paid overtime? Is she getting paid for shifts she's not working? Does she have regular access to money, checks, or the accounting books?

Sorry, lots of questions. But I'm a former auditor, and all my alarm bells are ringing on this chick.

Laura's Diary, March 6th, 2007

"Dear Diary,

Forgive me for this will be short. I will fill you in on all the great and scary details tomorrow. I am going on absolutely no sleep because I was worried sick about Charlie all night. He was rushed to the hospital yesterday afternoon after he ran full-force into flag pole at school. An ambulance came to the school and strapped him down to a board! Holy cow! He seems perfectly fine, but wow, all I kept thinking was "SWELLING OF THE BRAIN SWELLING OF THE BRAIN," so I was awake listening to every little tiny noise last night.

My day started off great yesterday because I won 200 bucks on a 2 dollar scratcher. I was going to take the kids to Toys R Us for a fun shopping spree. That didn't happen because Charlie got injured.

Anyway, I will tell you more tomorrow, Diary. All's well so far today, except for my head!"
Okay, bored to death so I've been re-reading some of these through the filter of what we've been hearing over the past nine months.

"He ran full-force into a flag-pole at school."

Have you ever seen a flag-pole on the playground? Aren't they out in front of a school? Near a driveway?

And how peculiar, after the "SWELLING ON THE BRAIN," comment, comes they, "Hey, I won $200 on a scratcher!"

How bizarre is that?

It's like Jackie Kennedy's diary reading: "After the shock of the rifle fire, I thought, "Damn! I liked this pink outfit -- it fits me so well!'"

It ends with yet, another strange comment:

"All's well so far today, except for my head!"

I thought Charlie's head was the one hitting the flagpole?


Then came the famous March 9, 2007 entry:

"Dear Diary,

Just wanted to let you all know that I am fine...just been really sick. I will be back soon. Charlie is doing fine too! Thanks for all your emails and concern.

See you, diary"


Funny how the "We're more than a radio show, you're more than an audience -- we are family" showgram has refused to come clean with any aspect of what happened outside what we already knew: LBM was a spending lunatic who partied at the Lamplighter on a regular basis and had serious on-air, congestion and sinus-sniffling issues for years.

Happy New Year!"

[RowdyOne]

Jake, thanks so much for posting Laura's diary entries... yep, the writing was on the wall early on and continued for so long! It would be very interesting to know what went on behind the scenes at the Spewgram while her addictions were so obvious.

Today I punched in the station while in my car, and lo and behold, Jer(k) was again spitting out his boob AKA list. How many times do we have to hear this??? Do they think it's funny? Relevant? Creative? Or that their audience is so stupid or immature they laugh every time it's repeated? Grow up and act your age, J&J (oops, maybe if they acted their chronological age they'd have no listeners at all... except maybe me since I'm one of the aged DC members)

And now we wait for them to come back "live" so it will be more entertaining? Give me a break. At least then we'll have more drama to write about here...back to the purpose of this site.

Well, there's that option too. In fact I like it a whole lot more but somehow I think that it will not create harmony and peace...lol (someone hug a tree please?).

Simply by leaving. Love it.

[Conceptis]

I hereby apologize to Michelle and her family for any postings I have made about them and vow never to do so again. I am embarassed by my actions. I in fact will never visit or post here again.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Huh?

[LisaP]

Huh?

My thoughts exactly.

Is the spewgram bored while on their umpteenth vacation of the year?

[BigAl]

I hereby apologize to Michelle and her family for any postings I have made about them and vow never to do so again. I am embarassed by my actions. I in fact will never visit or post here again.

Thank you.

Where the hellfire did this come from??? Bad, staged timing???

[BigAl]

I thought I saw Mooch on that new show..."The really exposed housewives of goldigger county", the Top Dollar episode.

[GirlfromOR]

I've seen mention of a lot of you having pets, and I have a dilemma. For Christmas my 2 oldest kids got puppies...

No advice but I just wanted to say that I'm *insanely* jealous of your kids!!! I would love having a dog, and we were going to be getting one that was just born a few weeks ago (we were on the list before the mom was even bred) but we backed out when we found out I was pregnant, since we knew the baby and the puppy would come home very close to the same time. I can't handle two babies! So jealous!!

[GirlfromOR]

I hereby apologize to Michelle and her family for any postings I have made about them and vow never to do so again. I am embarassed by my actions. I in fact will never visit or post here again.

Thank you.

Why are you carrying this on? Letitgo!

[shello]

I hereby apologize to Michelle and her family for any postings I have made about them and vow never to do so again. I am embarassed by my actions. I in fact will never visit or post here again.

Thank you.

I say....."Double Huh?"

I am still trying to figure Conceptis out. I think she may have been very transparent a while back and then took flak when she was found out.

But this post today almost seems like someone else logged in and wrote it for her. P'haps they figured out her password. Seems odd.

[SDReadhead]

I, Conceptis, hereby agree that in the spirit of the holidays and in just being a good neighbor will not post anything negative about certain parties of the showgram here again. I further agree to promote the showgram as what it truly is: Innovative, inspirational, spiritual (even to animals), cutting edge, top notch, at the peak of brilliance, and most of all an excellently produced show, in fact the best in all of San Diego.

Conceptis, wasn't this apology you posted earlier in the holiday season good enough for them? Sheisk, sorry they caught on to your real ID, but do you honestly care that they are upset with you? Perhaps you are a neighbor who has to keep the peace or something. Oh well, I hope they don't make you apologize yet again. Do they make you swear on the Bible as you type your post? Does FH hold you hostage by threatening to sit on you or make you smell the blue shirt he wears everyday? Farewell, Conceptis.

[GirlfromOR]

Are we allowed to share PM'ed info? I've got some interesting stuff about Conceptis and the FH connection. It really makes NO sense, but it's about how/why Conceptis was called out by FH, and about how he came to know who she is.

[insightbyjake]

No...Thank you!!

[insightbyjake]

"Best of" today: Jeff and Jer interviewing a 106-year-old bowler from the south....

Jeff: "God Bless You!!!...We love having you on the air!!!"

Jeff's "bit" (as asked by FH): Let's ask him how much his balls weigh!!!


Hee, hee, hee,.....such comedy brilliance!!!

That Jeff....such a good Christian man, and so adept at double entendres....

"Nearer My God to Thee..."....Jeff...the ultimate Christian male!!

[iamsheens]

Well maybe I need to further explain the situation. I haven't gone to my boss because he had a stroke a week ago and has been doing half days at work in his recovery process..we don't do email at work so I'd have to go directly to him and in the scheme of things I just feel like I'd be burdening him given what he's been through this past week and I just don't feel like he needs the added stress.

Yest. after I posted that one post more stuff happened...she was rearranging our set schedules...what part of set schedules needs to be arranged? oh...the parts where she is too lazy to come into work or stay a full shift...She told my other co-worker that our boss said to make the schedules and to leave me and my other co-worker out of it because we bitch too much....which is really funny because my boss and I have never communicated...he's only been my boss for about a month and he's never even acknowledged that he is indeed my boss...so I don't know how he would know I'm bitching given the fact I have never talked to him...

I am ready to go to his boss who is the general manager of my work but everyone is telling me to hold off...my whole thought process is that if she doesn't want to work her set schedule she was given when she started 3 months ago then she needs to find a job with flexible hours. I just am appalled that someone who has only worked at my establishment for 3 months is making her own rules and stuff and I've worked there for 4 years and have never complained or tried to pawn my hours off on other people so I can spend a day with my boyfriend because he was gone out of town for barely a week, or take his birthday off, or leave early because I just don't like my job enough to stay the whole shift, or come in late because I have hair, nail, and whatever other types of appointments. I've always stuck to my shifts...ugh my work establishment is ran horribly sometimes...I guess I just have higher work ethics than most people so it really irritates me. If I weren't moving so soon I'd just go look for another job but until then I just have to put up with this stuff...anyways I also wish I weren't such a push over and could say no to people...me not wanting to piss anyone off doesn't really help the situation.

[Wabbitsd]

If one were to share private message information, it should be done in a way that disguises the source to an extent. no direct "secret informant told me XXX" and if someone calls you on a source, you do what the papers do, say it is a reliable source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. and it wouldn't hurt to toss in some kind of left curve...like "A red headed freckled informant" when the ACTUAL informant was a blonde, non-freckled person.

I will offer what I said to Conceptis before...reregister with a new name.

And Moochie, baby. why in the name of Methusela would anyone FORCE a person to apologize here over and over...and control their comings and goings like that? IF it is you doing this to whomever be Conceptis, you, my dear, are a raging control freak. If it is your beloved social experiment/project/fame-train wanna be FH, well, open your eyes. This person has serious control issues. IF you don't want to be swallowed up and be nothing more than a dangling ornament on his arm...get out, get out fast. And get your kids out of his reach, as well.

[shello]

Are we allowed to share PM'ed info? I've got some interesting stuff about Conceptis and the FH connection. It really makes NO sense, but it's about how/why Conceptis was called out by FH, and about how he came to know who she is.

I say,"Go for it." Didn't she even put her street name by her DC member name in the line that says location ? She was thinly veiled on this board. Or, GirlfromOR you can just send/not send the info to me. No one will know as I will never tell.

[Texasgirl]

I was wondering about the origin of Conceptis. Catholic? Latin? It seemed like an unusual moniker, so I googled it and discovered that it is the name of a puzzle website. Hhmmmmmm.

As for the freeloading coworker: document, document, document. You will need some ammunition when she turns on you and goes to your infirm boss. She won't have any compunctions about bothering him.

Changing topics completely: I just watched a piece on the local NBC news that featured a woman who created scarves for people undergoing cancer treatment. The wearer applied hair extensions to the inside of the scarf for a cooler version of a wig. Why is my brain thinking that I heard about these on this board? Does anyone else remember?

RecoveringLstner,
Welcome to the world of bassets...I don't know what is going on, I ended up with a "free Basset" as well... but back about mid-Octoberish, I adopted one from a lady on Craigslist...Bailey. Bailey had already been through three homes, and the lady who put her up had an older one already, and the older one was being mean to Bailey....so she checked out the four or five people who responded, and we were the lucky winners. She's such a doll...but they do need lots and lots of exercise. All I can say is wear them out during the day, or they WILL be up all nite.

They should settle into your routine shortly...it just takes patience and working them to your schedule.

She's (thankfully) nearly a year old. My first puppy venture. Ohmylordie.

There is a meetup on January 12th at the dog park over by mesa college at 11:00...if you survive that long, there are some great people there who really know pups.

Bailey sleeps in bed with my daughter...but up til about this last week, she had to get up at about 3:00 or so to make a necessary trip outside.

ohmygosh. I can't imagine the mass puppy type destruction you are in for with two of them. Nothing like furniture, but things like shoes, etc. We pretty much use her for breaking down cardboard boxes for recycling....but they are so cute, aren't they? I wish I could take in another one.

[Wabbitsd]

sheens, do you think the boss really thinks you are a "bitcher?" if so, it sounds like a good time to find a new job. On the other hand, if this boss is only aware of what this creep has been telling him, Maybe a move to push her out is in order? Document document document, as mentioned before, but maybe it should be mentioned that she clearly needs more flexibility in her schedule than is possible. How long has she been there, and do you think the boss thinks she is doing a good job?
