  Hey folks, This'll be super brief. Semester is coming to a close and I'm putting most of my time into projects and school things, so. In brief - the return to smoking plan continues apace. This was my last Saturday night in the Lounge unless the smoking goes away again and... yeah. I'm not expect...

  After the assorted nonsense of last weekend, I was less than excited about returning this weekend, although some of that had more to do with the mountain of school work staring me in the face. Long-ish story short, however, it's been kinda slow. Not horrificly slow, but definitely more on par wit...

  Do I have a magnet on my head or something? Wow. Slow Monday shift, and no stocking to do as we're running the coolers dry to prep for inventory. Little weasely guy with a tracheotomy thingy on his throat sits down at the bar and tries to do the shot & beer thing - which…

  I'll be brief for this one :   It's my week for lounge both nights. My shift co-coworker called in, so I had the lounge all to myself with a supervisor doing occasional backup. We weren't crazy busy, but very steady and some folks were extremely generous with the tips.   The TL/DR comes...

  For the sake of marking the time... Sunday - decently busy. Made money. Monday - decently dead. Did not make much money, but was a more peaceful shift. Moving on.

  ... ready?  Braced for it? Here we go. Strap in.   So I arrive at the service bar for my Saturday night shift. Jesusfuckingchrist. I knew they'd gotten run over last night so I wasn't surprised to see it needing work, but one also hopes that either the barback stocked before leaving last nig...

  Okay - so my schedule's complexity level shot through the roof last night so - I'll be brief on these couple. Friday night in the lounge and the parking lot looks - very nicely packed. There's probably a screed in here about stimulus money and people dumping it into a casino because...   people a...
