S.F.W.

hard to care about what you're doing at work if no one at work cares what you're doing...

so friday rolls along and we pretty much have a friday. no fuss - minimum of muss. dance sets were pretty decent, crowd stayed pretty late. had a headache for a little while, but had my handy dandy little bottle of tylenol. might be makin a few changes at work soon.. not 100% sure yet. if we don't we're gonna be in trouble for awhile. then again, if things work out then i wont have to worry about it much longer. more about that later.

saturday. lots of people wearing their halloween costumes early. some good, some bad, and one spectacular that still has me drooling. mmm... judy... just aint right doin that to me. what am i saying.. of course it is! i'd post a picture but havent asked permission yet. lots of drama and too many cooks in the kitchen. happens every year with the time change. no one wants to make one final decision as to what we're doing so we all end up cranky. me?.. i didnt care. i was just there to push buttons.

sunday - i love it when a play falls apart. $500 constume contest, and way too many guys dressed in drag, and not enough women dressed, or undressed as it were, not much in the way of original thought for most of the costumes. didnt matter much as we knew what was gonna happen anyway. sexiest costume and most original costume for the categories. and of course, the most original costume in the building did not win. fun and games all over again, and me pushing buttons.

if i'm still here by new year's i'm gonna be shocked. its gettin bad people.

shoulda had my wheaties..

"no energy" that was the buzzword of the day for wednesday

for some reason or other i just couldnt get goin. and apparently the customers couldnt either. sure we had our usual crowd of dancers and regulars, but the other ones just werent in the mood or somethin. hard to get them dancing when they just dont feel like it. frustrating.

and then there was...

thursday was more of the same let down spread out over the last few months, only more so cause of the weather change. hard to have a hot legs contest when they arent wearing skirts, shorts, or dresses. we could have had the contest, but captain fun struck again and said no. speaking of captain fun, if your club is finally jumpin' after 230am.. WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU TURN THE HOUSE LIGHTS ON TO KILL THE PARTY AND CHASE PEOPLE OUT!!!!

...and they wonder why i get stressed out at work.

i have GOT to start pushing for a paid vacation.

fall,... fell

first cold snap of the fall and everyone stayed home and watched the world series or something.

the high point of the night was when the bartenders gave a mini-shower to one of the other ones who is expecting. got her good by telling her she had to come into work and then giving her a really nice stroller/car seat combo full of baby stuff. made her cry even.

other than that it was pretty much me and 30 other people sittin around talkin most of the night. gotta get more people in there on sundays. 30 people in a building that holds 1100 looks pretty damn empty.

"Foosball is de devil"

i know he's a fan, and i understand that the Longhorns could very well be headed for a national championship - but 2 hours late for work because of it? oh well.. not like they're gonna fire him.

saturday night wasnt bad at all. slow start, mostly because the weather yesterday was absolutly beautiful. if it hadnt been for that really bright thing in the sky, i would have spent it outside sleeping. the good news was that they were in a mood to dance to almost anything i played. threw in some disco n funk for first dance set before i switched to some recent stuff. pretty much gave everyone something to dance to - had a couple out there shakin' their groove thangs in Depends. so sometime after 11pm, my erstwhile associate comes to work. pretty much sober even! i kept goin on the country - he played the dance sets. worked out well. time to get ready for a fun filled sunday night.

like i'm getting paid to do this

mr. punctuality.. thats me.

drawbacks and t-backs:

wednesday was not too bad, but could have been better. still managed to do okay with pool tournament and wet t-shirt contest. saw some spectacular thongs and what they were pretending to cover (yeah.. the job sucks sometimes...heheheh), and then muddled through the rest of the night. dont ask me why but i just wasn't feelin very wednesday.

thursday- still thursday, even if we did have some damn good legs in the contest.

friday - high school football season - crowd shows up later but they stay pretty damn late too so its okay. had us some serious old school tonight: herbie hancock, timex social club, slick rick, etc. with any luck i'll get more than 3 hours sleep before having to get up tomorrow. kinda wore out and caffienated. sleepy time kids...

the long road to recovery

still felt like i'd been drained, folded, spindled, and mutilated when i went back to work wednesday. couldnt work up the energy to do much, and i really could have used it. not much of a crowd for a wednesday but alot of the customers were waiting on paychecks to hit the bank, and more troops were getting rotated out and off on humanitarian missions. we still had the wet t-shirt and pool tournament so its all good.

thursday - S.S.D.D.

friday - started out kinda slow but we had a really steady stream of people coming in most of the night. not too many problems to talk about, but ...BUT... BIG DADDY'S B-DAY started at midnight and tomorrow should be pretty damn interesting. better be anyway.

home sick... and i do mean sick!

7 years and i've only been home sick from work a few times. pretty much saw it coming - there's a pretty icky bug going round. wonder who's gonna get it next.

so how did the week go?... wednesday wasnt too bad, we managed to have the wet t-shirt contest and pool tourny. thursday still sucked, but we still had a good hot legs contest. friday was pretty decent, saturday was a bit slower but still okay.

not too much to really report from the last week, it all went by too fast. other than a TABC sting going on in the area that ended with a few arrests (customers - not employees), we still have the same internal b.s. goin on.

gotta go - tylenol, immodium, etc. await.

so really, what kind of music do we play?

this is what we played starting around 10pm on friday sept. 30. the first 2 hours of the night dont count - thats just the warm up leading up to prime time in the club.
and trust me on this one - the crowd loved it. we still had about 300 people on the dance floor when we started playing the belt buckle shining stuff at the end of the night.
