December Recap

So I've been gone for a week or so and I just want to catch everyone up on what is going on in my life.

First, I've graduated. I think. I failed one class that was required for my double major but instead of spending more time wasted in college on a major that is pretty much useless, I dropped it to a minor will be graduating, pending my final grades in my other classes (which should all be passing).

Secondly, I fell into and out of love. I met Crystal on a friday night while her friend was making out with a dude in one of the booths. She had me at hello and pretty much picked me up. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the fact that she looked like a more beautiful version of my Ex-Girlfriend. She went home with me that night and beyond work and school, we spent every minute together for 6 days straight. We even said the "three deadly words" (i.e. "I love you"). It was crazy. I've been single and promiscous (c'mon, I'm a bartender) for almost 3 1/2 years and after meeting this girl, I considered throwing away all of my short term plans to move with her wherever she wanted.

She captured me, heart, mind, and soul.

Unfortuantely, she graduated college and moved home to Arizona. I've yet to talk to her on the phone and it has been 16 days.

Luckily, I'd been preparing for the fact that she'd never come back and am coping relativelty ok. She taught me that love was possible. She taught me that it is ok to throw caution to the wind and fall maddeningly in love with someone. She taught me that there are people out there who I can fall in love with and who will love be back.

It was only a few days, but I'm still in a slight amount of pain. It brings up questions like "Why now? Why not earlier? Do the fates hate me?" However, I've taken the higher route. She was an angel (or whatever your religion deems) brought into my life by the Almighty (I am agnostic so I recognize no name for the Creator) to show me that giving up is futile and that I will find someone.

Ok, ok, ok. This blog isn't about me. But I needed to get that out there.

Back to bartending.

This week, I rang higher than the day drawer 3 out of 4 days. To explain, one drawer is assigned for the entire day, meaning that the total of the drawers contents equals both the day-time bartender (10am-4pm) and the late bartender (4pm-2am). I came in at 4 both days and had higher sales than it did in 6 less hours.

I'm a startender. I'm a braggert. I'm arrogant. But I think I've earned that right.

So you know, my rings were $2800, $1860, and $2500.

Let me run your bar. I will make it more profitable than any bar in the city you are in ;).
