Can't... stop... listening... to Eric Hutchinson...
I love Eric Hutchinson!
My brain hurts from banging my head against brick wall in the "Americans" thread.
Between that thread, the "tradesmen in America" thread, and the thread about servers/crappy customers/tipping, I am so disillusioned with this place.
In other news, I started my new bartending job tonight.
The good: I made a some good money, especially considering the bar just opened on Tuesday. I figured it would be dead because it hasn't been advertised, so I'm surprised anybody even knew it was there.
The job was pretty fun. I have competent co-workers, which is incredibly refreshing. Every single one of us has worked in restaurants before, so it was just a matter of taking our pre-existing skills and applying them to a new setting. It went really well.
The bad (almost all my own fault): My feet hurt because I bought new shoes for work, and they're not broken in yet. I have a callous on my big toe.
I have a pounding headache, but that's because I didn't eat at all before I went in to work tonight at 6pm. So I haven't eaten since last night. I am about to remedy that situation.
The intriguing: my boss told me tonight that once the place is open for a little while and they iron out all the "new store" wrinkles, they will most likely be making me a supervisor.
