Well, Well, Well
This day had started out so well. I woke up , went to Physio and was doing very well, in the gym lifting weights and on the treadmill and eurgobike. On the Way home, I thought I'd stop at the station to see what was going on. That started the whole downward spiral.
Going in to see Jim, I was told that my friend and co-worker, Shawn Williston, had been handed his walking papers effective the end of the month. For his part in this , check out his webpage here
After taking this all in, part of it being my boss's statement that he "wasn't going to be using me right now" made me even more concentrated on leaving this sinking ship.
When I get home, there is a message on my machine from ICT/Miramichi offering me an interview for 1:30 this afternoon. I go to the interview and after a few tests, am offered and accept a job with ICT in customer service in Alliant Internet Service provider.
Directly after leaving ICT, I go to the station and after speaking to Shawn and Jim, cleaned out my file cabinet and gave my key to the boss With the words "I'm Leaving Immedietly". Not a handshake, not a thank you for 3 years of service. Just a "It's your choice" as I'm walking out the door. my retort, "No it's not my choice to leave, it's my choice to stay, but your forcing me out" To which he says "no I'm not". The Conversation ended there as I said that he wasen't worth my time and left.
this wasen't just a one day thing. This has been coming for a while. Since I've been hurt, I have recieved nothing but silence and greef. I've been cleared for over 2 weeks and had yet to work a shift. I've been putting resume's into different call centers around the provence at the urging of my Mum and Jessica. Anything to get me out of this dead end job. and that's what it is.
Now a few thank you's:
-To Darren, Shawn and Paddy, people from who I've learned a lot about the radio business, and life in general. No matter how much shit was thrown on us, We always were able to laugh and have a good time. Willie, this could be the best thing to happen to you, it just may take a while to see it. Paddy, keep it running as long as possible, but ICT looks good too.
-To Jim, Someone who always has a kind word and gave me more thumbs up then anyone in the front office. Thank you for those. Guess this means that I can't work election night
-To Anne, Shirley & Jennifer, People may make more money, but I don't think that they ever had more fun that we had. The three of you are always welcome in to my home (and Anne and Jennifer, the beer's cold :) )
-To the ringmaster and the horse he rode in on, Karma's a bitch.
-To my listeners, not that a lot of you will ever read this. Thank you for allowing me to come in to your homes, cars and lives. You never know, maybe at some time, in some way, I'll be back.
There's people (Jason, Val, yes, even Ev) that have allowed me to enjoy most of my time with 790CFAN. Radio can be a funny business. If MBS is ever serious about having a quality radio station and not a big top that is a laughing stock, They can give me a call.
Have a great and safe one, Miramichi

Well...Well....Well.
More Random Thoughts:
-It was an interisting weekend in NWF land, as a 24-7 thread was posted, meaning that Shawn "Gregory Maines" hardcore title reign came to an end..as I made me NWF debut in the thread with 12 hardcore title reigns leading into "Insomnia" on wednesday night where I faced two others in a Three Way Dance for the number one contendership for the Hardcore Title. I lost that match when I got "24/7nd" by Maines. CD Lawrence (Me) got the last laugh as I punked him out later on to take my title back. It all leads to a match with "Dangerous" Danny Dudley at next week's "Insomnia". This is really doing the trick, getting the writing juices flowing.
-Don't waste your time with "Signs" It seems to be one of those movies people either love or hate and I'm the latter, with plot holes a mile wide and Aliens that look like a bad b movie.
-I've been using Mozilla for a while now. It's based on the Netscape browser (Which I've mostly liked). I've only had it crash once and that was when installing. One of the coolest parts of it is allowing you to look at more then one window in a browser window, using Tabs. Long download on a dial-up (Just about an hour) but really worth it. Get it here

***A Couple of days ago, I said I'd post my sample RP for the NWF, It's also my first RP in the Three way dance for next week's card***
(opens in a room, shown is only a chair, with a man looking very upset)
You think that you know. How could you know what I have gone through. The pain that I
feel when people throw one of their own to the gutter, never to be spoken of again, unless
it's thinking of the good old days when that bum on the corner was welcome at the dinner
table. Now he's not even worthy of the fifteen cents that you have in your pocket.
The people that spend thirty dollars on that dinner for two when they know that money
could bring so much to people with so little. The fish egg eating, starbucks drinking
plutocrats who want to move the (air-quotes)displaced people when some big event
comes to town to give the illusion that all is fine in our (sarcastically) perfect world.
(Lawrence becomes more and more frantic as he continues)
I'm sure by now, you think you've figured out who I am. You think that I am just an
angry drug addicted street person who you couldn’t be bothered with. You couldn’t be
more wrong. I was one of you. A rich lawyer, who billed hundreds of dollars an hour, did
the thirty dollar lunches and didn't lift my head when I passed the street people. Then, one
night, on my way home from the office. This drunk teenager comes up to me, claming that
I had stolen his girlfriend. I told him he had the wrong guy, but that didn't matter. He
stabbed me 10 times and left me for dead in the gutter. I laid there, waiting to die with
people, just like I had been passing by with their heads down whispering about what a
disgrace it was to their fine city to have people like me.....ME in the streets.
Then One of the Goddamn street people that I had ignored and hated, came and held my
hand while another got the attention of a police officer that got the ambulance to take me
to the hospital. It was then that I decided that I would make people like I had one time
been pay for their treatment of other people in this world.
(Lawrence calms down in the blink of an eye)
Who am I? I am your worst nightmare...I am you...I am a enforcer of I believe to be right.
I am CD Lawrence.
Let the Payment begin.

Hello, Friday..
Random Thoughts:
-I've got my first match in the NWF this week in a Three Way dance for a shot at Gregory "Shawn Williston" Mains. I hope he keeps that belt shiney for me.
-For my money, Primetime sports is the best radio show in the country, espically on Monday and Friday, with the roundtable. Bob Macowen and Damien Cox are interesting to listen to at all times and with the addition of John Shannon, John Wells and Gord Kirk among others, there is no better sports talk out there. Check it out on Bell Expressvuor Fan590.com .Between 5-6, it's Bob taking calls, 6-8, it's The Roundtable monday and friday and guests the rest of the week.
-If there is one thing I don't like about Fan590. it's the amount of time spent talking about the CFL. Two words "Who Cares?" If anyone can please explain to me why I should care about this two bit, always on the brink of extintion so-called league, Please drop me a Line and if your reason is "it's Canadian", Don't bother. I don't buy that for anything. Give me sunday NFL football or give me death, hell give me US college basketball over CFL football. As a 23 year old major sports fan, I can not remember sitting down with the express intention of watching a CFL game and the little of it that I do see almost puts me to sleep. This League can't even schedule right, last night a prime example with both Toronto and Hamilton playing at home with a third game on a thursday night. NFL Hall of Fame game is on tommorrow afternoon.
-Saw my first Austin Powers movie the other night and while there was some really funny parts to it. nothing that makes me run out and watch the first two or even turn on TBS which has been running the first two ad nausem for the past month usually 3 in one day. With that said, Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets is out in november and I can't wait.
-I'll be trying out a new Web browser in the next day or two it's called Mozilla. It's a open source alternative to Microsoft Internet Explorer. expect a review soon.
-Wednesday is the latest date of return to the airwaves can't wait..I'm starting to get ancey
That's all for now..LAter
