The SirJimaNOT show

Well today I almost made a complete idiot of myself... but I can't take all of the credit for this one, I had help from another DJ..

I wont name names because that is just not what I am about.. but suffice it to say that thanks to a very ignorant and disruptive DJ, who should have known better... the Sirjimalot show was transformed into the SirJimaNOT show... allow me to ellaborate..

First of all, Im still learning the Equipt and I think i was doing pretty good considering Dawn only got to show me the equipt once before the station's Pre Holiday Demise.. I was all set, and was going over in my mind everything Dawn had showed me and pretty much had it all under controll... 4-oclock came and then everything started to happen...

one of the other DJ's had stopped in to pick up thier swipe card for the studio and then decided to come up and try it out to see if it worked... It did not work so this person then proceeded to disturb and distract me... one would think that the words ON THE AIR meant just that, and common courtesy would suggest that you just dont interupt a show in progress..

That is what I get for thinking. This person pretty much disreguarded the fact I was trying to do a show, and was determined not to leave untill the swipe card issue was resolved... I told him that he should call the station manager and let her know that the swipe card was not working and I even told him that I would personally be there to let him in Sunday for his show... he left and so I thought that was the end of it... meanwhile, the first 10 minutes of my show were shot at that point because I couldnt intro any of the songs while dealing with him , in fact I had to set the CD to Continuous play... so I got back into my chair and got the next song all qued up... and sure as rain... wouldnt you know right when I hit the Button which put me on the air and started to speak, He returned with the locksmith interupting me again ... I just switched on the cd again and basicly chose a random number where 3 songs could play to give me a good 10 minutes... I told him that he was wrong for going and getting the locksmith and that the right thing to do was to call the station manager... and he STILL insisted on having his swipe card issue resolved... so pretty much the first 45 minutes of the show was shot and then it took me another 10 minutes to regroup and dig out...

this was my first time alone in the studio and so of course I needed to focus on what I was doing .. I was totally embarrassed because I had a whole show planned and couldnt even do the shout outs I had told people to listen for ... it is a good thing for me I guess that the live internet feed was not up or that would have been a total disaster considering I had told people I would play thier songs and couldnt even do that...

I just basicly played a few of the songs I had on CD and que'd in some music from the web.. I didnt go too much into what I had planned, I will save that for next week..

I almost feel bad about calling the station manager and letting her know what happened...
Key word, ALMOST....
