I'm only commenting on this thread because I'm cleaning up DJ mess from 
the past couple of weekends.
MOST of our full time (DJ/Air Talent) staff is great...
I have/had the most problems out of our either un/under-educated or just 
plain brain dead weekenders/part-time staff...
This particular cleanup?
Someone on the weekends is just beating the crap out of our Telos switch 
console... Last weekend the 'Drop' button had been busted off, never to 
be seen again.  And this past weekend? buttons 7,8,9 don't dial...
After talking with Telos for an RA#, he reminded me after hearing the 
serial #, that the unit wasn't that old!
Told him what's happening, and then we shared several stories of weekend 
morons...
I'm pretty sure we could all make a pretty interesting coffee table book 
to read on the hi-jinx that come along with this profession.

(I say coffee table book, because one of the stories he shared was about 
a jock that wouldn't admit to spilling coffee in the board... a problem 
I'm sure you've all dealt with all too often unfortunately.)

I think it comes with the territory... If I think back to when I jocked 
too... I wasn't the brightest crayon in the box sometimes either.
