Today sucked, tomorrow has to be better
It has to be! I mean seriously I doubt many days could even come close to the suckiness I experienced. We will go no the assumption that days start at midnight. Since i got that wild hair up my ass I got little sleep and was pretty out of it and not very friendly. Because of this I had my wife yell that she hated me in the wee hours of the morning as I tried to keep my sanity and put my lil girl back to sleep. Read more
No commentsWhy can't we all be happy?
I mean seriously, why can’t shite just go well for all of us all the time. It seems like life is looking up here in our household, but now I have worries about a few of my friends who are kind of stuck or just been broadsided by news. Though there are some people I wouldn’t mind if their lives seemed a bit less ontheir side. Stupid people. I don’t get it how do these people come to my work at least 4 times a week drink $40-$70 worth of alcohol and still live? I can barely have a beer after work and live, what’s up with that? There are those few who come in for their couple of beers and hang out but they aren’t so bad because they are nice…go figure! Another interesting thought on work, why are the majority of the non-bar regulars sucky tippers. Is it because they know they can tip crapy for spectacular service? I don’t know, baby just woke up so Im outtie.
No commentsSomething that baffles me
People who go out to resturants just to make their servers life hell. I can see where it can be a control thing, but for the most part it makes me sad that these people are so pathetic that they literally kick a man while their down. I mean being a bastard to your server is just cruel especially when they are nice and can’t really retaliate then. Im fortunate in the fact that I can retaliate wth wit and then removal of alcoholic beverages from their table. I’ve done it before and I will do it again. I have only had one table make me so angry that I couldn’t think straight or even wait on them anymore. This table will surely die a thousands deaths in the depths of their hell. People feel that they don’t owe me anything, well technically you don’t but if don’t tip then there is really no motivation for me to take care of you. Read more
No commentsWhen things look up they might be going down
At least that’s what I used to think, but lately there seemes to be an ever brightening light at the end of my proverbial tunnel. We are starting to look at cars and we are even considering trying to get one of those high interest rates to get a bit newer car. Just because we would be able to pay it off in January when Heather gets her money again. Im still weighing my options on picking up a part time job this sem while I wait to see if I can get any money for next sem. I really wanna head back to school, and get a real 9 – 5 job. Or at least a bit more stable one with a lil ass kissing. Read more
No commentsLaundry and sproglings that refuse to sleep
For some reason Ri refuses to sleep, and I can’t seem to get to sleep so Im going to kill a bit of time before my last load of laundry gets put in the dryer and I attempt to lay the Rilinator down for her evening siesta. The night passed with lil incident, although I just want to take some people out and shoot them. Maybe Im just losing my patience or something but Im just tired of dealing with most people out there in the world. It seems as if we’ve lost all sense of personal responsibility as well as common courtesy. This customer is always right business is just outta hand. Yes you are right, until you are an ass, infringe upon my rights, or even irk just irk me. Read more
No commentsMy world, my rules
Alright in the sadistic world of Rob land work suck my left testicle. I mean seriously, I went through the whole day just kicking ass and taking names, I was on the ball. Nobody had to wait for food or anything, but I still got crappy tips. The majority of people tipped $2 on $17-$30 checks. Yeah, shit faced fuckbrains that’ll feed my family. So, I essentially made no money and then had a harrowing bus ride home. The bus kept stalling and was just weird. Everybody was calm and cool, nobody was freaking out, making threats, or even raising their voices. Everybody handled it like me, as long as I get there sometime Im kewl. Read more
No commentsToday was work and tomorrow will be work
¡shark!
YES! I was totally introduced to this non-carbonated version of Red Bull by my co-worker tonight. We were horrible on mochas and now our MOD is rueing the day that tha Gretch-dawg found the Asian Market on Montgomery. I once again told a table what I thought and well got a decent tip out of it. It was remniscent of a post in customers suck once, and a response it garnered. Read more
No commentsOn to a rant
All right I’ve seen a few posts talking about getting rid of the tipping method of service or even berating servers for sticking with their low wage jobs. Here is one such post:
Click bay bee!
Now normally I don’t rant about other’s posts much less comment on them, but I just wanted to give everybody food for thought on this subject from my point of view. Read more
No commentsARGH!
I am slowly losing patience with the people that I take care of at work. Tonight was a pretty slow and crappy night for me, but this just took the cake.
SwS: Scrooge who Stiffed me
SwS: *waves arms frantically as I try to walk by with a tray full of drinks*
Me: Did you need something?
SwS: Yeah my friend was wondering when you were gonna get a “real” job *chortles*
Me: *quick once over of the guy* Yeah? Well, my friend was wondering when you’d get a “real” hair piece. *walks away briskly*
Alright I know that was kind of rude, but this guy had been giving me grief the whole night and I think I got a total of $1 off of about $50 worth of drinks I ran for them. He was always paying to make himself look good for the woman he was with. I mean crap how many jobs do you know of where you can go in for 5 hours and walk with $50-100 dollars. Yeah Im running low on patience with people and Im not sure how long I will be able to keep my mouth in check.
No commentsPeople piss me off!
This is pretty long so Im gonna cut it for ya. Read more
No comments10 and nothing but 10
Sorry about the length, so Im gonna cut it for ya. Basically its how I was a smartass and made a bit of extra cash last week.
So Im waiting on a big party last week and thankfully someone told me they would handle the bill up too $200 this made my job easier since I dont have to split checks then…whew. Sadly we are one of the only places in town that will do such a thing to large parties, I think Im going to try and convince my managers otherwise because it is becoming a big pain, it doesn’t even really help the tip when I do al that work. Well this couple joins the party and I walk up to greet them. Read more
No commentsI am ready to die Mr. DeVille
Yikes, that stupid final took a lot longer than I thought it would…but then again I think it only took longer because I kept on working on this simple script for a message board and never really worked on the page itself. Well I got it all done in almost two and a half hours time…new graphics and new layout. I handcoded it, no WYSIWYG or even premade tags in Firstpage 2K, just me against machine. I think I came out reasonably well. The form doesn’t work because I have yet to get a script set up for it, but we needed to have a little of everything we’ve learned in tha last five weeks. I think I shall do well tomorrow when it comes time to show my site. For those of you who are gluttons lemme show you:
So now onto my life, ummmm….boring, yep that sums it up. The only thing I can say is I need a new job and hope to find one soon, because I feel like I keep getting bent over at my place of employment lately. It really sucks because one of my favorite servers there is in the same predicament. She only started a couple weeks before me and kicks as much ass as I do. She and I can run that place by ourselves if need be, and have on occasion. Both of us are back in school, you know doin the whole tryin to better oneself thing. She’s down to three shifts a week as well. This wouldn’t be bad but we both keep getting shitty shifts! The newbies are getting close shifts while we make no money with 1st out shifts. Alright granted Im not available for days but I did give you all my availability. I could have easily said I don’t work Sundays and really jacked your schedule up. I do have people fighting for me so now I have four shifts a week, but it just isn’t enough apparently. I think the part that pisses me off the most is the fact that two of our managers took my Tasher into the office and asked her if she was gonna stick it out.
WTF!?!?!?!!!!!
Stick it out? I don’t get it she and I have done nothing but kick ass, and we trained all the fuckin newbies they’ve got working now. What the hell are we being phased out? Do we not meet the new mold for O’Niell’s employees? I dunno Im tired of working my ass off now, I mean I normally do because its what I do, but when I start getting things taken away for petty reasons, I feel like I am being treated like a child. Well this child can have a petulant look on h is face while he doesn’t greet the door, or while he doesn’t run his section like he used too. Im tired of pimping out my tables AND doing everybody elses work, running their food, greeting their tables, seaing their tables. The fuck nut waiter I don’t like to work with…maybe he has the right idea… I should just be out there for myself and my money fuck teamwork and fuck helping all my fellow employees. Im at my its end right now, I guess I should head to bed and get me arse to school and work tomorrow.
No commentsSo yeah…Assests Grille can suck me arse!
This is gonna be long and inane but what the hell I figured we needed some activity.
It may offend some and it may amuse some, all I know for sure is the fact that I tried to be objective, it didn’t last long.
Alright I went to Assets on Montgomery for all you ABQ peeps. I figured its right across the street so I could catch a quick beer or chill in a new bar. Well it took like five mins for the bartender to get to me. I needed a beer I had just gotten off the bus, jeebus! SO yeah I ordered some desert and one on of their micro brews. Read more
