My fucked up life
I like moneie
Tonight was another milestone. Not only did I make a decent profit, but someone took out their laptop, hooked it up to my "public" ethernet line, and paid off their bar tab to me with a credit card via PayPal.

Will that be paper or plastic?
Which means that I am now officially cooler than Mephistos, because they're still in the fucking Stone Age by not taking plastic - whilst I, on the other hand, am more a 21st century kind of scumbag.

Better late than never
[info]luciferian finally showed up. Metal guy, metal shows, y'know? About fucking time. Having him show up was a plus, a sort of validation that I'm actually doing it right, now. Or, at the very least, not doing it completely wrong. As always, he brought good advice, whick is kind of the side-service that kung-fu masters are kind of expected to provide to people.

Bartender Rule #1
You must flirst with everyone who flirts with you. Male, female, straight, gay, hot or ugly, if someone flirts with you then you must flirt back. It's just good buisness sense. Keeps them drinking. Heck, they'll even buy you drinks, which is pure profit because otherwise you're just helping yourself to the bar for free, which actually ends up costing you money. As long as they think they've got a chance they'll keep coming back and buying more. It's kind of like being a stripper, only you don't have to be the least bit attractive to do it. The booze does it for you.

Bartender Rule #2
Never have sex with anyone. Male, female, straight, gay, hot or ugly. Having sex with people is bad for buisness because now you've got a regular customer, sure, but they're going to expect to drink for free from now on. Plus they'll get pissy when you continue to follow Rule #1 with everyone else. If you're good in bed, they'll never leave you alone. If you suck in bed then you've just lost a customer. So just don't do it - ever. It's never worth it. I am actually proud to say that I've never boinked any of my patrons or coworkers.

McJob
The moment you start doing something you normally enjoy as an actual job you will no longer enjoy doing it. Just ask any hooker.

For there is space to fill
I need a new roommate. Like NOW. Must be willing to pay $400 a month in rent, live without seeing the sun for days on end, deal with obnoxiously loud music every weekend and survive without any hot water. Any takers?

Didn't think so.

Where do you bartend? Don't worry, I'm in South Da fuckin' Kota, managing a Subway resturant, I'm not going to bother you. Just wondering.

Management is always a good job. I'm bartending at a little place in Eastern Market called "Vault-13"

Eastern Market has you again, wow. I remember the nasty, hole in a wall resturant you worked in years ago with the Voodoo Queen lady! Ha ha! Eastern Market isn't bad. Bartending sounds like a lot of work, so is management.

Ironically I'm working there again ... under a new owner, of course.

Yes, the pissy coke head boss is long gone and the new owner is ... well, remember Gordon Dietrich from "V for Vendetta?" Just imagine him with longer hair. Much more laid back.
