What a mix of emotions this weekend was. The restaurant I work at closed for good this weekend. Bye bye dishwashing job, I will not shed one single tear for you. The owners dropped the bomb on us Friday night. We closed Saturday. Now, I could honestly fuckin care less. What, I don't have sift through filth on my weekends anymore? What a shame. I think its kinda funny actually, I like it when people get what they deserve but there is the other side of the spectrum. As much I like seeing that rich bastard get his, I had friends who were waitresses and bartenders there, and it's them who got screwed. It's not easy to find a good bartending or wait staff job on Church St in downtown Burlington. They're struggling college students, and that's who it really sucks for. I watched as 2 of my good friends drank themselves into oblivion this weekend and at first I thought they were being dramatic, but then I realized this job obviously meant more to other people than it did me. I will miss all the good people I worked with, I won't miss the assholes I worked with, and I'm sure as hell not going to miss washing dishes. So now I'm left with my other part-time job at the sports store. I don't think that's gunna cut it so I'll begin looking for another job sometime soon but from all the shit that's gone down this weekend I've come to one conclusion, I'm going back to school in the spring. I need to get on my path and hopefully I will see it through.

-much love, Sbyrd
