I’m quitting my job immediately, not in two weeks. I had been looking for an excuse to do this, but the reason I’m doing so is not the reason I would have preferred: I fear for my safety. Four guys, about 19 or 20, came into the bar. They wanted to know if they could ...

Didn’t get the Braves job. The guy I talked to was real nice about it. From what it sounded like, he really wanted to hire me but the person doing the hiring ended up hiring someone else. I guess them’s the breaks, but I’m still disappointed. He even gave me the name of a friend ...

WARNING: The return of drunken posting! Still no word from the Braves. I am, however, good and drunk right now. I feel this is a good plan for my future should this job fall through, which theoretically I’ll know by tomorrow. They said they’d tell me by the 12th, and tomorrow (or really today) is ...

When I’m nervous or anxious and I’m trying to avoid eating to satiate this tension, I usually end up cleaning. This is how, once I got the super of my building to pry it open (we lost the key to the lock), I spent this evening cleaning out the storage unit. I found several boxes ...

Giving this name to your new cleaning product during a time of war and terrorism.

(If you don’t get the title, you need to read this more often.) Didn’t actually get much done today besides cleaning and sleeping, both of which were things that needed to be done. I get to go get the good old Pain In The Ass evaluated by a surgeon to see if more needs to ...

Lawd. This is for anyone who didn’t stop by the bar tonight, because if you stopped by, you’ve already heard this story. Twice, in all likelihood. So this guy who has come into the bar for the last couple nights because he’s staying at the hotel decided that I looked like I was into S&M. ...

I am officially finished with the Atkins Diet! Well, at least the way I’m doing it. I did the “induction phase” (20g or less carbs a day) for a full month, mostly because I have such a vast waistland. I’ve managed to lose about 17 or 18 pounds, though the acid test will be whether ...

So I am the only bartender at the hotel I work at. The Food and Beverage director, Joey, is also in the same position at the much fancier, much more complicated hotel downtown, so my hotel is generally an afterthought. I had called him trying to find out when I could get a sub in ...

I found one last fortune (well, I think it’s the last. I still haven’t hit a large chunk of my room…), and I certainly hope it comes true: – This is the year when ingenuity stands high on the list.
