Fail...

It is true I am a failure at keeping up with the 30 day music challenge...however it is another busy weekend with weedings and unfortunately a funeral. Only now I have to travel by train to a different state. Joy.. To be in a wedding that the bride and I kinda don't speak... So cool.. Real cool. Right. So no post this weekend unless you don't mind a wedding drunk post... Bahaha..have a great memorial day weekend everyone...be safe.

tis the seasons for weddings

my whole entire weekend consisted of weddings.. yes that is right.. my whole weekend ruined (if i am aloud to say that) with weddings.. i guess i should not say ruined because i really do love being apart of peoples lives, including wedding.. but back to back is a little much for me.. ,mainly because i am not married nor and i in any hurry to get married. and its just so expensive.. so one of my best friends ever got married on fri.. (its cheaper i guess). my wedding gift to him was buying  the liqueur and beer for his wedding (balling i know right) so there were rough;y 115 people at this venue.. so this is the alcohol i bought for this wedding: 29 cases of miller light, 1 1/6 barrel of Sam adams ,1 case of lady bligh spiced rum, 6 bottles of Jim beam, 6 bottles of well vodka, 3 large, large white zin, 3 very large Chardonnay, 1 larger Merlot and 3 bottles of campaign. i would say that could even possibly be cutting it close (well for my alcoholic friends at least) so through the night i know i put away at least a bottle of lady bligh myself.. the wedding basically ended at around 1130... we packed up the alcohol that was not used because the bar that my boyfriend owns will buy back whatever is not used i was really hoping hardly anything would come back. so as i see what they are wheeling to me on a cart i almost fainted.. really i loaded up 19 cases of miller light. i even gave 1 of those cases to the guy helping me load it.. and 7 bottles of lady bligh (12 are in a Case) the whole bottle of captain, 3 jim beams and 2 vodkas. and some random whine that was half open and used. really.. that really hurt my feelings. an open bar and nothing got cashed except the small keg i brought. and i thought i knew those people at this wedding. apparently i do not. so my major contribution of liqueur was not so major.. but overall the wedding was beautiful and everyone had a really good time.. and the bride and groom looked amazing. and the food was delish!!!!!happy wedding day

day 6 a song that reminds you of somewhere

yes...

this is day 6 a song that reminds you of somewhere... and yes... this reminds me of springbreak in daytona beach.........

get low...

opps.. a little behind day 5

ok well it is wedding season and of course my whole weekend was filled with wedding!!! this is day 5. a song that reminds you fo someone... and yes this song reminds me of a special person very dear to my heart...

day 4 a song that makes you sad

jimmy eat world- hear you me
day 4 a song that makes you sad
this is one of my fav songs but it is super sad and when i hear it, i remember some pretty sad times in my life....

karaoke wednesdays

so every Wednesday for the past year i would say is karaoke day! yes i get the joy of hearing a bunch of drunks who think they are really good at singing!! and when i mean they think they are good they are terrible..well to go on with this story.... we have security like almost any other bar... we have it to protect the bartenders and other patrons. fair enough right.. well it is their job to patrol around, keep peace, and to throw the people out that need to be thrown out.. that includes underage drinking... yes if you get caught, you get tossed... well it just so happens a individual got tossed for that.. (not his first time) and his bff apparently got really upset about it... and while singing karaoke started calling our (pretty large) bouncer some very bad names. and these names include (sorry if i upset anyone, ) faggot, d-bag, m-fers. and some other choice words as he poured his drink all over the stage on purpose. (now to set the record straight we actually have had (and still do) Gay people who work for us. and when bashing goes on like this we as a "work family" get a little defensive.  ) ok now back to the story.so obviously this kid got "tossed "as well.

i am just saying when  you run your mouth, you will get put in your place... especially when you run your mouth and the whole entire bar can hear you. ( i now understand why people hate college bars) well lets just say as this kid is on his way out he trips and falls.. and obviously turned into the biggest cry baby i have ever seen and immediately got up and briskly walked away... im sure he ran and told his friends how awful we were, and he later had the balls to tweet us and call us homophobic...really dude.. i think you need a time out from the bar for awhile...

 one more reason i am sooo glad i work and do not drink.. i dont have to make a fool of myself while trying to sing!

day 3 a song that makes you happy

sugarcult- memory

ok day 3..i am doing pretty good about keeping up with this.. i thought for sure id be done after day 1.. anyways.. this song actually has a lot of meaning to me... because at some point on our lives we hear a song and it just takes us back... and for me this is it.....,

day 2 your least favorite song

to me this is the most annoying song ever.. and i actually like beyonce.. i think she is super pretty, shes not a stick thin model! and she is not afraid to go after something she wants! but this song is just annoying to me., once again dont judge me!!!!

day 1 of the 30 day music challenge

marc cohn , walking in memphis
 day 1 your favorite song


ok this was super hard for me... but this is at least in the top ten of my fav....


lets hope i can keep it up!!!

they get it from their momma!

most kids learn a lot from their parents. such as driving, political views, mannerism and tipping.... so as long as i have worked at a college bar, just assuming these kids are on a budget or they have never worked in the industry before they really do not tip well... at all!! and when i mean not well i mean they are reaching for their .25 cents from a $4.75 drink..(thanks)  but after this last week and it being graduation weekend, i have now found out they learn it from their parents. so after serving many parents not only food, but drinks as well and them racking up $60 and $75 dollars on a tab, they decide to tip me $5 bucks... that is not even close to 20 %....

i feel like i can no longer be mad at these college kids for not tipping me, i now need to gear  my anger towards their freaking parents... why do people even go out if they cant afford to tip.. really...sometimes i really wish gratuity was added when you order 5 drinks or more....and every time i run a credit card i really need to get payed for that as well.. it is such a pain, especially at the end of the night when you have to add them all and decipher every drunks horrible handwriting,
lesson of the day! tip well. your servers and bartenders will love you way more! and if its me i will treat you way better!

This is one of the greatest things ever... I think tis guy is my new hero for sure...and HD us right if you don't have enough money to tip stay in.......

its my birthday , do i get a free drink?

it never fails, at least once a weekend someone comes up to me and says something along the lines like its my birthday, can i get a free drink...always.... so my response as always is: what did you get me on my birthday? did you get me anything.. i dont think you did, so why would i buy you a drink?.  of course they get all huffy puffy and pissed off. but i mean hell i am responsible for paying for  any free drinks that go across the bar.. and if i dont know you really why would i even remotely get you a drink especially when i am 99%  sure you wont even tip me. 

on a brighter note.. if i do know you, and i like you of course ill get you a birthday shot..   or even a beer or whatever.. especially if you tip me...

why i brought this subject up is because some dbag 21 year old boy came in.. his friend bought him a shot of patron.. and of course the tool spilt a $7 shot. and immediately asked for another free one.. hell no i am not giving you a $7 shot. i dont even buy $7 shots for myself... let alone some dumb kid..so after i told him no... he got a jack and coke.. ok thats $5.25. what i cant even get a discount.. ill show you my id.. no you cant now your bill just went up to $5.75 .. 

oh birthdays!!!!

this is why i do not drink

so once i started bar tending i pretty much stopped drinking. mainly because i work so i do not get a chance to drink.. well there are times when i do get a chance to go out and have a cocktail or 20....and those next morning are the mornings why i do no drink very often. in my old age i have gotten fragile ...and of course i want to buy people all kinds of shots because they have tipped me while i was working before. besides the fact that i do not remember how i got home, and i do not remember puking in bed.... and when my my boyfriend tells the story i am pretty sure he is exaggerating, he thinks it is so funny....needless to say i felt real good when i woke up this afternoon.. and still hours later i still feel real awesome... not to mention i heard all kinds of stories about what i did and what i said last night.... man.. i am that girl i usually make fun of...it will be a long long time before a cocktail sounds remotely good to me.
