You know, honestly this schedule isn't that much different then when I was tending bar. Differences include going to work earlier, getting off work earlier, being consistently paid, being insured, being able to tell most of the people who are acting ignorantly to "shut the fuck up" and probably having a higher likelihood of a person wishing to do me grievous bodily harm. Monday and...

So...yeah...C.O. I is absolutely an out there job. Went in for my first day on Sunday, got assigned to the fifth floor of CJC (City Justice Center) which is "the hole". Now, for those of you not familiar or fond of prison drama, "the hole" is where they send the nasty bastards who don't play well with others. So, that's where we go and it's...

One more day of training, then I graduate on Friday, I feel like graduate should be in quotation marks, anything that only took a month doesn't really feel like a graduation to me, though it has been a rather enlightening month. I finished up my speech in class on Tuesday, it was submitted to the lieutenant and I've not heard anything about it being inappropriate,...

I've almost comedown from the abject joy of the World Series, me and my best friend Matt were in the stadium for the post parade celebrations, it was an amazing atmosphere, just great moods and conviviality floating all around the city (aside from the one bitch on Market St. who yelled at me for orienting her chair slightly to the left so I could pass...

Wow baseball...just wow. People gush about football, people gush about hockey and I'll admit, despite it being my birthright, it took me awhile to understand and appreciate baseball, but man...once you do, there's nothing like it. Thursday night in the course of an hour, I went from being convinced we weren't able to take a game six to being entirely convinced we couldn't possibly lose...

Why does The Cleveland Show still exist? It's so consistently not funny.

Back to the grind in a few hours...and sleep seems ever so elusive. Tequila shots however seem all too tasty right now. I'll be working downtown once I go to work, which I'm pleased with. Not only because I think it's a more technologically sound facility and that it's climate controlled (which is huge for me cause in the summer I sweat like a whore...

So judging by the banner ads every time I log on to SG, it seems I am in the minority of members who don't absolutely revel in shitty metal music. Oh well...never have been all that good at fitting in.

So for reasons I can't quite explain I was thinking of the episode of "American Dad" where Steve becomes a successful writer and is doing the voice over and comments that he's doing the voice over like Robert Evans, even though he doesn't know who Robert Evans is. This in turn made me think of the short lived animated series "Kid Notorious" where Robert Evans...

Off day for the first time in a week and I slept the shit out of some sleep! I suspect tea will prove to be my savior the rest of this early morning Monday-Friday training. Said training has been fairly mundane and tedious, from filling out a W-4 and insurance forms to reading what will probably prove to be close to reams of official policy....

I am a retired bartender, I've begun the grind of the professional workforce, complete with traffic jams too and from work, having to wake up at times that I previous saw fit only for going to bed at and for a few weeks at least...weekends off, not sure what I'll feel about that. Day one was Monday, orientation, better known as a fantastic excuse for...

There is a reasonable chance that I have slung my last drink professionally. Orientation is in less than seven hours. Assuming training will begin immediately I am done-zo with the service industry. No more people being assholes to me and smiling through it silently while aching to tell them what bastards they are (unless of course they are my superiors) no more dependency on the...
