Bruce

"Everything dies, baby, that's a fact, but maybe everything that dies someday comes back."

Well, as of November 22, my free trial of Sirius radio is over.  It's been six months of glory days...90% of the music I listen to is Bruce Springsteen, who has his own channel on Sirius.  I don't know that I am willing to pay for this service, which they've offered to me for a good price.  I have made a conscious decision to cut back on a lot of things these days, and I think I'd rather go back to pedicures than pay for satellite radio. 

Good thing I own all the cds:) 

And have a 6-cd changer in my car. 

Thanks, Ford, for a great six months of Bruce.

I'll "search for you on the other side."

What skirt?

I have been doing this a long time.  I got my first cocktailing job back in 2001--I didn't even know the names of three kinds of vodka.  But I am good at it, the only thing is, I can't really figure out why.  I can't do math to save my life and I have a terrible short term memory.  Thank god for computers and notepads.  Anyway, I really like my new job.  The restaurant biz in CA is totally different than in OH.  For starters, this company I am with now originated in Kentucky.  The southern hospitality thing is huge and they really emphasize it.  Which is great, I am all about hospitality. 

The other thing I love about the restaurant biz is that everyone jokes about everything--and sexual innuendos abound.  It's just the way it is.  You either love it or hate it.  I love it, because joking around doesn't hurt anyone and if you never act on any of the stuff you imply, they all think you're a saint.  Seriously.  I have already been dubbed the "den mother" by more than a few.  So tonight I opened. I get there at 2pm, we open the doors at 3pm.  I got cut at 9pm. It's not a bad shift. 

Oh, I should probably preface the following conversation with our sexual harassment policy: it's not harassment if you enjoy it.  Yup.  That's the official policy.  WHICH I LOVE.  Because we all know how stupid standard sexual harassment policies and training usually are.   Also, let me preface this with my partner in crime in this conversation is usually the most quiet guy in the building.  Seriously, he never talks.  Ever. 

Noelle: Hey Robert.
Robert: Hi Noelle.
(Robert eyes me from top to bottom.)
N: What was that?
R: I just gave you the once over.
N: Yeah you did.
R: You should have worn the skirt today. 
N: What's wrong with the jeans--it's cold today.
R: Oh, nothing's wrong with the jeans, but you should have worn the skirt (referring to the very short skirts that are mandatory on FRI and SAT nights).
N: Oh, so now you're not going to help me out with anything tonight.
R: Like I said.

Later, R has a hundred dollar bill from a check, making change in the back.  The bill is out on the counter.  I decide to play along.

N: (Taking said bill and inserting it into my back pocket)  I take it this is for last night?
R: Was it worth it?
N: You bet your ass.  But my price just went up.
R: I'd pay more.
N: Damn straight you would.  I may be easy, but I am not cheap.  (Handing the bill back.)

God bless sarcasm and loose sexual harassment policies.

That's Right.

Saw this today while checking the game times for tonight:

PHOTOS: ALDS, Indians-Yankees
The Indians and Yankees battle it out in their AL Division Series, and we've got all the pictures to proove it.

Yeah, let's see, are they still using typewriters and monkeys over at MSN?

How did no one catch that?
