The hardest decision I had to make all day was choosing between a jog through the park or eating garlic parmesan boneless buffalo wings chased with a couple vodka sodas at the bar around the corner from the sports bar. I think the answer to that one is pretty obvious. Tomorrow sounds like a great day to sweat it all off and start tending to that plummage I was talking about.
Wrong turn to the right place(s)
Say What?
There were a couple of funny conversations at work yesterday that I felt were at least semi-notable. At the bar we are required to bring our own containers to avoid wasting pitchers as tip jars. Getting a suitable jar was on my to-do list for the week but somehow never achieved priority status and was not done. I arrived at work empty handed but was lucky enough to still have a tip jar crammed in the back of my trunk from several months ago when it was last used. Before grabbing my cash drawer and jar I overheard one of the girls explaining that she forgot hers and hoped to smooth things over by insisting that I had forgotten one to. I walked into the office saying, “Sorry, man, had one in the trunk. I can’t help it if I’m prepared.”
One of the bartenders was eating his dinner in the office and immediately negated how prepared I was. “It doesn’t count if your car has so much junk in it and all that crap happens to include a tip jar.”
“My car is not full of junk! I knew exactly where it was in my car; it was in the trunk…in my suitcase. So there”, I shot back with attitude.
Immediately after the words were out of my mouth I realized how they sounded. A huge smile spreads across the bartenders face paired with, “In your suitcase, huh?”
“Ugh, Shuuut up! We’re done.” Then I walked out as fast as possible. Moving to the top of my to-do list is working on thinking before I speak, and I’m making it priority status.
After the shift actually started a guy wearing a blue “I heart hot moms” t-shirt walks up to the tub. He asks for a Shiner, so I handed it to him. It was a pretty slow night, and I decided to amuse myself with semi-sarcastic small talk by asking, “Do you have a MILF shirt as well?”
“Yeah, I do.”
I respond with, “Shocker.”
“I have that shirt too.”
It took me a second to realize what he meant and my clarity elicited an “Oh, wow. Inappropriate. Too much, man, too much.”
