Vacation Delays

We took to the road, several hours later than we'd planned, only for Wyspurr to realize that she was really tired. Thus, we have returned to the apartment and put the kids to bed so that we can have a quick scrog and a bit of sleep before heading out again in the morning.

Have fun in FL. Say hi to Molly for me. smile

Florida Vacation Planning Stuff, Part 2

Okay, we have a bit clearer idea of what we're doing now. After we pay rent today, we're loading up the car and heading off to Valdosta. I expect we'll be leaving around 6pm, which I guess we'll put us in at Laputa's around 11pm. We'll hang out there a bit, let Wyspurr get some rest, then head...

Beating A Dark Horse

Well, I've done it. I've quit the Dark Horse Tavern. I didn't go in today. The busiest night of the week for the kitchen there, and I just didn't go. I told them last night that I quit...that I was just going to work out my shift and that would be the end of it...but they didn't believe me. I almost...

Work Sucks Harder

Management has been lying to me at work. I'm fed up with this drama. I don't know whether I'm going to go to work anymore. It's pretty clear that they aren't hiring Dan back. It's pretty obvious they've been blowing smoke up my ass to keep me from quitting. I don't trust anyone there anymore and I don't like anyone in management...

One Step At A Time

I made it through tonight okay. Just three or four more nights of work, then my vacation begins. It's up in the air whether they're going to make me work on Friday, which was supposed to be when I leave for Florida. I hope I don't have to. That's going to really put us behind and make it so that...

Sounds like management is the problem, not Dan. I feel you on the stress thing, I work with a useless dick, it's like he's not even there.

Work Just Keeps Getting Better

Dark Rob has been fired. Dark Dustin, the major asshole, is now kitchen manager. Now Dark Dan doesn't have his job back. My beautiful schedule of almost all mid-shifts has been ripped away and replaced with me working the next five days, almost all closing shifts. I am in hell.

welcome to the restaurant industry, blackeyed i'm in the same boat.

My Head Hurts

My head feels like John Henry is trying to pound his way through my skull and he's halfway to the other side. Yes, I got hammered at Llona's birthday party. Though I don't think it's the alcohol that's given me this headache. I've had hangovers and I've had concussions. This feels more like the latter than the former. I think I...

Let's Not Talk About Sex, Baby

There's something a lot of my female friends do that I deeply wish they wouldn't. If I've been rejected by them when I've expressed a desire for a more intimate relationship with them, I don't any problem accepting that and leaving it alone. However, when someone that has rejected me in such a way tells me intimate sexual details...

Drunken Degeneration

I'm pretty damned drunk. I got off work at midnight, made a sweep of the Lefont Plaza theater to see if I could find DarkGirlJ, who said she'd be there for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, then failing to find her I wandered home where I found Wyspurr, BigBlack81, katfireblade, and Dustin...not the one I work with, but rather...

Odds and Ends

So, Wyspurr and I went to the Corndogorama opening thing at the Earl last night. A number of the SGATLiens were out and Wyspurr's favorite locally based band, Envie, were playing. Wyspurr got a little sloshed. We had a lot of fun and it really brought down my stress levels. Come to think of it, it's been a long while since...

Bitchin' About Work

It was 3:39am when I walked in the door of my apartment. Since the kitchen at work stops taking orders at 2:00am, that alone tells you I had a really shitty night. Ten minutes before two, one of the barbacks ordered his meal, then a couple of cops came in and made a big order at five minutes before two. One of...
