guess who was thinking with "mr. happy" again...

not me.

i was having a nice relaxing sunday. oh well.

pre-turkey day wednesday - nice. damn good crowd for the night before thanksgiving. not much in the way of problems until after 2. probably could have stayed open till 3, but employees had birds to stuff and whatnot. pool tournament was decent again, and the wet t-shirt actually had some new talent and it was pretty good to look at for the most part. dance sets were fun, and even the country dancers were having fun.

we'll chalk it up as a win.

gotta run - bird in the oven.

ahhh.. saturday.

believe it or not. i actually had fun at work tonight. weird. date night start to the evening, but started to fill up the closer to 10pm we got. by 10:30 they had had enough to drink to be ready to dance, and they did that for the rest of the night. dance floor at midnight was ridiculous - rail to rail was nothing but people crammed in shakin' their asses. they were even dancing pretty packed in for the country music for most of the night as well. everyone was having a real good time and we didnt even have a fight until almost 3.

in other developments...

might have a problem eventually with where they added the second big screen projector; the screen is right over the booth and people keep stopping to watch sports and end up blocking traffic. will have to keep an eye on it and wait i guess.

thanksgiving is coming up this thursday - i'm just gonna pretend it aint.

miss ya bro.

the good, the bad, and the fugly

the good was wednesday of course, and the bad was thursday (even though it wasnt really that bad - just seemed like it) and the fugly was in the bar.

i dont usually get to see many of the customers unless they actually come up to the booth when i'm not busy, and tonight i wish one of them had waited till i wasnt in the booth to ask for a song. insert the worst ugly joke you can and then tell it twice - you might come close to what they looked like. DAMN!

typical friday night start, but at least they were in a mood to dance. still training up the new guy - gotta get him used to our way of thinking - "unlearn you must young jedi." gonna take awhile.

other than that pretty much a normal friday night. didnt even have a fight that i could see. lets see what happens tomorrow night.

just another wednesday night...

pretty much. non-dancing shrubs in a sausage fest.

slow start to the night, but that was okay, i got to play with my new toys and update the music inventory. by the way if you're looking for headphones YOU CANT HAVE MINE!!! thanks boss, needed these (Sony MDR V700)

pool and wet t-shirt went off okay, but didnt really feel that good party mood tonight. everyone was havin a good time for the most part, but damn if they just werent in the mood to dance unless they really wanted to hear the song. sometimes not even then.

still trying to train the new guy up to speed. and i do mean speed- he's gotta work on gettin stuff done fast. talking so he was understood would be a plus too, but we're workin on it.

rant at ya later.

where was i?

lets see... where i was, was where i was supposed to be.. everybody else could go take a flying ... never mind

its been an interesting week so far - wednesday was fairly decent, thursday was shockingly good (4 day weekend - go figure), and friday was mostly fun. aside from the disappearing dj that is. gotta love it when you get hired for reliability. so there i was in the booth, sinus's flowing like water when they werent putting enough pressure on the inside of my head to make it explode, havin more fun than a barrel full of rabid weasels. tomorrow night - MEDICATION!!!!!

oh yeah did i tell you what happened on thursday - heheheh. not gonna.

dammit... he did it again!

so for a while i was gettin better at posting more often but its been one of those weeks and then some.

last weekend he put in his 2 week notice - he got as far as friday. they've already hired a second dj, someone who's done it in the past but is out of practice. this oughta be fun. anyone remember the last 2 dj's they hired who had previous experience? uh huh.

thursday was about what you'd expect, but after 1am it was just plain sad. i was surprised we were open after 2.

friday and saturday were pretty good nights even with "capt. fun" making an appearance. average start-ups with a decent enough early crowd, lots of dancing, no fights that i could see. all in all a pretty good weekend

and then there was sunday. glad i brought a book, even tho it was kinda confusing - everyone was staying in the front of the bar and not the back for a change.

where we goin from here? dunno. how long is it gonna take to get there? dunno. we'll just have to wait and see wont we?...

dunno.

and then there was what?

stress. lots and lots of stress.

more people in this wednesday than last, but still... could have been much better. 8 ball tourny went along like normal, but we almost didnt have the wet t-shirt contest. we get too many late comers who cant make up their minds, and they're usually the ones who win. other than that, we had a normal wednesday that felt like a monday to me. i dunno what they sit up there and think about in that office but apparently its not about making money or customer relations.

speaking of customer relations - i need some. i've come to have this nice little "hate - hate relationship" with our customers. i suppose i should be more accomodating to them.. but most of them couldnt even spell the word. know what i mean? it's really difficult to be nice and friendly when you've got people asking you to do things as a joke for one person when you've got 1,000 people trying to dance and have a good time, and the same applies when someone wants to hear a song just cause they think its a good one, or they heard it on the radio, or whatever, and then they get cranky cause i dont. really makes it hard to stand there with a smile on your face and do that. so i dont. i listen, i might nod, and i write it down. if i play it i play it, and if i dont.. i dont. leave me alone people... i got a job to do. unless of course, you're planning on de-stressing me when i get home.. or your home.
