Monday – April 23rd, 2012

Monday night –

Well – it wasn’t horribly stressful, I’ll say that about it. The crowd was.. well, not a crowd really – we were slow. Very slow. It’s not too uncommon in post-tax season, but still – it’s nothing you jump up and down about.

On the plus side? Favorite supervisor, wrasslin’ on the TV, and not one, but TWO Stanley Cup playoff games to watch.

My fun moment of the night was when this trio of younger folks came to the bar and were somewhat taken aback (as many are) by our various rules. After hearing the last of them, one of the young ladies exasperatedly said ‘You’re fired, Hellrazor. You’re just fired.”, in an obviously joking tone, but hey – I’m a smartass. I could hardly let that one just go.

So I turn to my left.  The CEO of the casino corporation (They incorporated recently to better qualify for various programs, and the new CEO often comes and sits at the bar – we’ve talked many times now) is standing there listening, with a vaguely amused look on his face.  I ask him “So. Am I fired?” in an equally dry voice.  He shakes his head.  I nodded, then turned back to the girl and shrug. “Guess I’m not fired.”, I say.

She says, turning to our CEO, ‘Hey, who are you to tell me  I can’t fire him…”, etc.

To which I conveniently deadpanned “He’s the CEO.”

Red faces all around, ladies and gents. It was magnificent.  CEO went to bed shortly after, but I did feel like I got a bit more connection there tonight, which – hey – that can’t be a bad thing, right?

I did get some news though – apparently eyes of scrutiny are being applied to my favorite supervisor, and our former bartender turned supervisor. It’s not definite that one of them is going to go, but new GM – some positions routinely get scrapped, so.. we’ll see.

The rest of the night was fairly slow and unremarkable, so I did my things, watched USA, which was screening the GI Joe movie that released a couple years back, and did my bit.

Next up : Tueday night
