Things Are Looking Up...

Well, at least in a work sense, they are.

Tonight I sat down with my boss at the bar and discussed some stuff. I know that another employee has been not only drinking on the job, but ripping off some high end liquor as well. I know because I marked the bottles myself, I haven't sold any, there isn't any expensive shots on the detail tape, but the booze is gone. I brought this to her attention a while back. I found out tonight that another employee has been giving away booze to his friends.

On the other hand...I hate working Friday and Saturday nights. I don't hate that it's slammed, what I hate is that those nights I end up waitressing and not bartending, and anyone who's seen me waitress will tell you that I am just not meant to be a waitress. I get bored, I think it tedious, and well...there's nothing cute about putting me in any proximity to the customers where they actually have access to attempt to touch my ass. It usually ends up with some drunk bastard getting tossed out of the bar.

So...we hired a new girl last week, and I'm done training her. I like her, she's thorough, albeit slower than molasses in January, but all in all, she's good. She'll make a good bartender after she gets comfortable and loosens up a bit. She's what we refer to as our "fill in" girl. So, I talked to my boss about letting me work Sunday-Thursday nights. The bartender who's ripping off the booze generally bartends on Friday and Saturday, but I'm always waitressing and able to babysit him a little. I've trained our new girl to look out for stealing. I mean, it's just good common sense to know who's doing what, who's drinking what and to make sure you don't get nailed for it when the shit goes down. So, the point is...she'll waitress on Friday and Saturday, I won't have to waitress at all (I'll only bartend) and I'll have two complete days off every week --the same ones my husband has off. So, should we want to go out and do something together, there will actually be something to do because as we all know...Monday and Tuesdays...there isn't shit to do besides Monday's Las Vegas and Medium and Tuesday's House and SVU.

I won't get to watch my shows anymore...but...hell. Isn't that why Man invented Tivo? I'm gonna need to get Tivo.

So...that's that.

As for Gram...we had a long talk today. She understands my position, and I understand hers. And, we're just going to spend as much time together as we can until it's her time to go. I'm not happy about the lost time, but I at least get where she was coming from now.

It's almost 4:30 am, and my kidlets are gonna be up in a few hours...and that hubby of mine left me a cute little pornographic note in size 48 font on my computer screen for me to find when I got home...so I'm gonna go collect on that! LOL
