Last Few Days of Work...

My time at the bookstore is rapidly drawing to a close, thank god!  What a shit job that was!

The more I think about it, the more I think the overall bullshit nature of the job was the direct result of the store manager.  This guy is a real piece of work.  You can tell by the picture to the left what I think of the asshole!

Not only do I despise the man, but the entire store hates him.  And he has absolutely no respect, so his ability to lead is non-existent. Needless to say, the store can run much better than it is right now, but ole dipshit just keeps running it into the ground.

The great thing about quitting the job is that it gave me absolute power.  I was no longer afraid of losing my job or of being reprimanded.  That power then gave me insight and I saw the bullshit conditions that surrounded the store in general.  What a joke.

I have been waiting for bossman to say something to me for the past week or so that I don't approve of so I can just walk out on him.  But the spineless little shit has been giving me the silent treatment.  Each day I brazenly stride into work hoping that "today's the day."  So I leave you now to prepare for work and to hope that "today's the day."  Man, it'd be great to tell the little shit to go fuck himself and walk out!  I'll keep you posted.............

My love for music

I've been wondering lately which one of my kids is going to catch the music bug. Or if any of them will. I was about 8 years old (Wyatt's age) when I caught the bug. I remember a Christmas around that time when I got two albums, Elton John's Greatest Hits and Neil Diamond's Greatest Hits. I wore those albums out! And my aunt Nan loaned me a stack of albums and said that one day I'd thank her. I can't remember the exact albums, but I know one was Frank Zappa. One was the Rolling Stones. I believe there was a Zeppelin and a Grateful Dead. When I first got into music, it was all vinyl. There was a local music shop in Fayetteville called Paradise Records. They also had tapes. Then one day these things called CDs appeared. The CD section was tiny at first. And my first CD was Huey Lewis and the News 'Sports.' But that section quickly grew and before you knew it, the record section was almost non-existent. We used to go to the record shop all the time. Back th...

Thoughts On Bars and Bartending

  Now for some thoughts about bars and bartending, which I did for 25 years. BIG disclaimer: these are my opinion. They're opinions based on a ton of experience on both sides of the bar. But please don't take them as fact. Within the hierarchy of the restaurant, the bartender is right behind the chef at the very top. Both the chef and the bartender are responsible for creating things. Both should be expertly skilled. And both are the reasons that guests come to the restaurant. I got my first bartending gig in 1998. I attended a bartending school which the BIGGEST waste of time and money. I'll explain why shortly. My first gig was at the Angus Barn. I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I had never bartended a day in my life. But their hiring philosophy was to hire good people (which they couldn't train) and then train those good people to do what they needed to do. I was there for two years. I got better with each shift. Looking back I realize that I was awful. A...

I Got Burned

  I found this band from Australia recently named The Bamboos. Really digging them lately, especially this little tune!
