And I have a ton of shit to do. No big surprise there, right?
The holiday was good. Went to the mother in law's house and ate turkey. Worked Friday night, put up Christmas decorations on Saturday, worked Saturday night, watched football and had filet mignon and crab legs for dinner, and did absolutely nothing yesterday. And that's my weekend in a nutshell.
And there's my lovely tacky artificial Christmas tree. And it should be of no surprise that I'm all into artificial trees, right? Yea, I know where you're going with that.
Football Sunday was great. Of course, it's only because the Bears won a game. Now, let's see if they can finally go two in a row! Cedric Benson is out with an injury for the rest of the season, which sucks, but doesn't break my heart. I think they need to do something about that position anyway. And I would sit here and complain about Rex Grossman but I really can't. Yea, he started off pretty fucking shitty Sunday, but he finished it off and pulled one out of his ass. All I can say is Devin Hester - what a fucking incredible football player that guy is. You can't help but watch and get excited every time he gets the ball.
Anyway, I hope everybody had a great holiday but I have a stack of shit on my desk to get started on.
Your Christmas tree isn't tacky at all! I think it looks beautiful. Who wants to spend at least $100 on a decent real tree you have to worry about watering and all the needles that shed all over? Certainly not me! Artificial trees are the way to go nowadays, especially with how nice they are.
Yeah, I wasn't crying either when they said on the news last night that Cedric Benson is out on injury the rest of the season. He pretty much sucks anyway. Let's see how Adrian Peterson does in his place. OMG, Devin Hester was phenomenal! The Bears better make sure they keep paying him enough money! That game was awesome too. What a nail biter! They sure got lucky. Really lucky. Hopefully next week they can beat the Giants!
yeah it was dead at the boat too.. the boat was busy but the bar was slow. There was a band on Wed, Fri, and Saturday and all three nights most of the people that came in just ordered a beer or 1 drink, really no food. The regulars that normally come in to eat didn't come in because it was too loud and smokey! I wound up being sent home on Wed and Thurs nights because it was too slow and then Friday and Saturday after tipping out the bartenders/barback I only made $75 each night.
ughh I wrote another long comment back and it didn't save it! I just realized that! not good.. anyway.. it basically said that I was making maybe a $1-$2 per table because everybody was just buying a beer or one drink here and there.. so I worked my arse off for those $75 each night. Especially having to wait for at least a few minutes every drink to get a bartender to take care of me. Customers at the bar come first! I would have much rathered had 4 tables that I could pay attention to and give good service to and make $75 vs working my arse off for most everybody to think I was just blowing them off because I was standing at the bar forever waiting for a bartender.
Ooh, I used to HATE cocktailing! Half the time I ended up just making my own drinks because I was tired of waiting for the bartender. Then I felt like she hated me for it because I was invading her bar. NOT fun at all!
