"Announcements"

In lieu of the Monday morning meeting, we had a tuesday morning meeting due to the holiday. Nope. A day different didnt make the meeting any better. They news any more positive. The 2 problem salesman any more truthful.

Accountabilibuddy's newest tactic is to write up the agenda for the "quick" meeting on the white board. Todays agenda read as such: 1. Promo chick's birthday 2. Phone Jam Update 3. Barbie Pending 4. National 5. Promo chick 6. Announcements.

Lets go through each one briefly.

1. Self explanatory. However, side note. Runner and myself did go out and get her ice cream cakes since no one was doing anything for her, and she is our friend, but we emailed all users on the email, and it further solidified our position as "those two young guys who give a fuck about people here" so thats a good thing.

2. The phone jam? whats that? ohhhhhh, its a pretty way of bringing up the call bank we did a few weeks back. All Accountabilibuddy was looking for was a few sentences on where the meetings were in your scheme of getting new business money. Frat started. A jet stream of bullshit immediately began flowing. Then Bling Bling. Verbal Diarrhea began spewing, but it lasted literally 15 minutes. All just blah blah blah. Runner dropped his pencil in hopes it would make enough raucous to stop her from talking, and let us move on. Nope. He did this 2 more times, nothing. Jameson next. Short. To the point. Will Loman next. 2 sentences: "bulk of the meetings this week and next. one solid prospect thus far". Runner next, same. Old Iret next, a cliffs notes version of Bling Bling, not quite as bad. Then Accountabilibuddy speaks...his general message...step it up, make calls, and...last but not least $$$$$$$$$$$$$....we need more.

3. Barbie went through each account on the weekly pending we do for her, and asked us questions. this was dull until Iret's accounts came up. She mentioned and account. Jameson kicked me under the table. I looked over, and laughed with him. I had done all the work on this account, and it was due for submission before 2008 struck. Iret let it sit on her desk, and thus has missed the turn in date, and cost the station 100K in revenue. Had they given me the account, i would have closed the deal (not because i am any better, merely because it was an advertiser looking to do the same shit they did last year, maybe more. a fucking tee ball homerun really).

4. My new favorite person (old dude in national who complemented me on my good work when no other manager did) just talked for 30 seconds. Again, short, to the point. we all got the message.

5. Promo chick said 1 thing...nothing major.

6. "Announcements"....now what do you think that means? Anywhere else, maybe just simply that. Announcements like, "Friday is Hawaiian shirt day, so go ahead and wear a hawaiian shirt if you want" or "who is parking in the visitor spot, if its you, please stop" or "we are starting a bowling team, who is interested".

but this is TV station...so we know Accountbilibuddy, although smiling and saying "i have some great things coming down in the sales department"...anyone with 1/2 a brain realizes it is sugar coated shit (so, me, runner, and Jamesons and the old national dude pretty much).

here are the Announcements:

1. Barbie will no longer be our boss. New guy coming in will be in her office, all up in our shit. we will now hove 2 accountabilibuddies. YES!

2. Barbie will now be under a new title "new business niner blah blah development producer" At least she didnt get shit canned. And i know she didnt because she worked over New Pres at 2 prior jobs, and maybe has some shit on him that cant get leaked to the press. Good for her...but now the 2 people who hired me, and i liked working for, are leaving. Fuck.

Ever since interviewing for another job, i am seriously so checked out from TV Station, it is bad. I cant work there any longer. Seriously can not work there. I am praying to God, seriously because I am religious and know he has some influence on what happens, that I get some sort of job offer that can financially keep me at same level at New Company. All you readers...pray, or give me karma, or whatever, because LITERALLY every night, i have dreams that i hand in my resignation letter. What does that say?

No more announcements. Lemmings dismissed.
