SUMMARY: Dom has been suspended from work and it's not a joke. You won't believe what he did to the boss AFTER the suspension! Interesting day at work. Dom got suspended today. Lots of people assume it’s a ‘radio stunt’ to get ratings, but this one is for real. Leon our boss HATES Dom's singing and his jingles. He told Dom that if he sang another jingle or song on air, he would get suspended without pay for a day. Dom tried to push for a three day weekend by singing a song on Thursday but Leon gave him a warning instead. Today, Dom sang a jingle about Alison Mau loving the ladies (to the tune of 'Single Ladies') Leon was furious, especially since Dom sang once again, and his song was offensive.
YOU CAN LISTEN TO THE SONG ON OUR PODCAST HERE
We had a handful of complaints from listeners, so Leon decided he would follow through on his threat. In our 10am after-show meeting Leon told Dom he was going to suspend him. Little did Leon know Dom had more plans to upset him…. Today was Leon’s birthday. Dom organized a special treat for him… an old lady stripper to show up to our 11.30 staff meeting!!! Leon was SO UNIMPRESSED. Just like Simon Cowell on American Idol he sat there expressionless for most of the time and then just when things looked like they were going to get really kinky, Leon signalled the ‘cut throat’ to Dom who had to stop the CD and send the old lady packing. Thankfully. It was starting to feel REAL uncomfortable!
So, by now, Dom was not Leon’s favourite person.

I’m nearing the end of my time on Jenny Craig. I started late August in the hope of losing almost 10 kilos. I was 69kgs at that point and wanted to get down to 60kgs. I was going well until Xmas but since then it’s been very hard to keep on track so I have stayed the same weight for about 7 weeks! 62 kgs. I’m thinking that must be my comfortable weight so I’m going to try to shake a few hundred grams this week and keep on the maintenance after this. I’ll let you know how I go next week! I feel really good about myself and bought three pairs of size 10 shorts from the mall yesterday. Pretty awesome!!
My injuries are healing well from my bike crash last week so I am planning on getting back on tomorrow or Wednesday. I’ll take it easy and ride around the park near the grass this time! Haha. The bike is getting lots of use though. Dom and out babysitter have been using it and taking Seven for rides on his bike. So we are getting on the bikes as much as we can for Bike Wise month. It’s quite good because usually Dom drives about 3kms to his sister’s house but he and Sev have been riding their bikes there. Saving gas and carbon emissions! Aren’t they good? It’s Seven’s 7th birthday in a couple of weeks. (That’ll be confusing! Being called Seven and being seven!) He wants a disco. I am trying to organize something. I don’t really want it in my lounge but I haven’t found a suitable, affordable venue so the lounge it is! I’ll black out the windows and hire a disco ball or something. Gotta make it rock! If you have any ideas, please let me know. I am still new at this.

That is Leon thinking!!! Has he no sense of humour (ok I'm not going to ring him and tell him off but maybe I shouldn't because it seems like he take no notice)! Maybe he has passed his used by date (How old is he anyway???). OK I would rather hear Mike singing Dom's songs but I hope you are joking!?! The single ladies song was fine! Dom must be on the show tomorrow he is wonderful (you wouldn't have married him if he wasn't). And please don't get on the bike again! You looked so brave last time The YMCA do wonderful birthdays for kids (or at least they used to when my daughter was 7).

What a blimmin laugh, more are needed, I am sure Ali is laughing too, she knew it would come out eventually, and she would get stick for it, Simons still a spunk I am sure he will find another, anyway Dom keep up the good work and enjoy your day off, and Leon the laughs on your station is why we listen to it, take that away, then listeners might turn off, anyway I think I've seen that stripper before, I think it was Nightmare on Elm Street!

Hey Jay-Jay, did Seven go to Kindy or Playcentre, could you ask them if you could hire (usually a koha) their premises and you have the playground there also.
