I’m not… nope here I sit feeling vaguely guilty, because I’m not at work. Because I decided to go to the competition. Because I tossed an insult back at them.
I really needed a mental health day.
October - July …
I worked my ass off , eventually full time at the bar, then overtime at the bar, then it seemed all the time at the bar. Not since the days when I thought wild turkey was okay on thanksgiving as long as I had cranberry juice beside the tumbler, have i spent so much time in a bar. And never have I spent so much time in a bar sober.
I picked up shifts that other people dropped, I pulled multiple shifts … not just open/close but open/close/open/close/open/close/open and every thing in between… when I didn’t get overtime I didn’t complain, when everyone else complained or quit, I stayed the course, when I realized that the owner just didn’t give a rat’s ass about his employee’s , I kept my head down and bulled through the shifts.
And no I wasn’t sterling, and yes I made mistakes , and yes I can be a bit of an ass when I only have 10 hours of sleep in a week. But I was loyal and true, and did my best to do my best.
Then during a discussion about my attitude, the boss said that I was the same kind of employee as one of the other bouncers… a guy who had been suspended twice for sexual misconduct. So the next day I gave my two week notice… then I did a couple of shifts until the pay checks came in . Now I sit here instead of being at work. The rule at the bar… drop a shift get fired and barred for 3 months…. This is my status now, personea no gratis. And I’m okay with it . They can keep two days wages if they want it.
Frankly I hope they learn their lesson.. I sure as hell learned mine
And I get to enjoy the first two days off in almost two months
Yay!
Skip a beat ,
I touched base with a friend a while back , and out of it I got some tea and a better feeling about a bad past situation.. And while the temptation to read more into it crept in and scraped my brain… I maintained distance without being harsh or cruel.
Skip a beat,
I miss performing, but I hated watching others perform and I don’t think I’ll go to the fringe.
Skip a beat,
I got a wii and a digital camera , love one think the other may not get used much
Skip a beat,
I miss the fire and the thrill and the anticipation , and no it’s not what you think.
Finally
The heat has turned a lot of my brain to mush… I need ac or something.
