here's clew haywood...he leads the league in most offensive categories including most nose hair...when this guy sneezes he looks like a party favor!

so, tomorrow is officially my first shift at the new joint.  they were supposed to open today but i guess some permits took too long to get so there was no food and the bar wasn't able to open until 4, but i was assured by el chefe that tomorrow we're good to go for serving food and being open.  so, i get to knock out the first day's rush, which feels pretty special.  i hope it's busy, although there's every chance that it won't be.  i'm not sure if they've advertised or anything, all i can really count on is the wife is bringing some work friends from the hospital to eat lunch.  i'm a little nervous and a lot excited.  even if we aren't busy i'm sure there's gonna be stuff to do and new people to meet, which is always nice.  i'm scheduled at the old place thru friday but the boss pulled me aside today and told me if they were gonna be shorthanded at the new joint until i got there we could talk about me maybe leaving early.  which is a very cool thing for him to do, but since i told them last week that i was gonna do right by my current boss they might already have it covered.  i guess i'll just have to show up and see.  i don't wanna put anybody in a tight spot.

anyway...wicked pumped about tomorrow.  gotta get up early, which is wierd, and take the bus, which is even wierder.  i don't have to take the bus, i guess, but the parking garage downtown isn't that big and i don't wanna chance it that early in the morning.  there's a bus stop right by my house and it'll just be easier.  and i'm gonna be off around five, so i'll be sitting at home looking at the clock at 7 on a friday night and not cooking a dinner rush, which will be the wierdest thing of all.  i've wanted day shifts for years but never got them and now that i have them i honestly feel kinda wierd and guilty about not cooking dinner rush.  well, i feel that way right now.  tomorrow i'll probably be three drinks in by then and watching lost again.

ok so it took me almost an hour to write that, i obviously got nothing right now.  tomorrow, though...tomorrow there will be news.

Major league..bob uker. So i was really bored today and decided to finally click the button "Next Blog" at the top of the page. BIG MISTAKE!!!! Some house mom is writing a blog about her family and the shit they do. What they have for dinner, movies they watch. The worst part is she is pregnant and has some ifetus program with her kid growing in it. So this is a warning to all how read his blog, don't click that button.
