Good help is hard to find.....*grrr*
I've been a bit cranky of late (actually the last couple of days, but who's counting?); My porter (the guy who does my stock work/cleaning, etc.)has been MIA. So when I am sitting around waiting for someone to show up for work and they don't, it rubs me the wrong way, ya know? He must be living a secret life of a rockstar or something b/c it's keeping him from waking up for the day job. I ripped into him today after having to sit around waiting for him again (and missing my cleaning lady in the process). After ripping him a new one, he simply stares at me blankly and goes about his business...Made me feel like I was in "Bartleby" or something.
Moving on. I am excited about the Oscars telecast this weekend; There are a lot of good flicks up for awards this year and I've actually gotten some calls from people asking if we are showing the telecast. So, I think I may put together a viewing party. Print out some Oscar prediction sheets, serve some snacks....have some fun with it, y'know? So look out for more details.
This is the last Tuesday for $1 Domestic Drafts as "Roll Back the Clock" month is winding down. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by for a couple o'mugs! And if live music is more your thing, we have a live band playing tomorrow night (Donovan & Carrion) as well as a Pabst Blue Ribbon promo (for all you wannabe hipsters). It's an acoustic set and they cover tunes ranging from Dave Matthews to Simon & Garfunkel and everything in between. Good stuff.
I need to go out and handle some business. See you soon!
NUFF SAID

I like the new look here...kinda sassy. Did the secret rock star/porter hire hs secret publicicst to jazz it up for you?
Maybe he merely stared blankly because he's gone deaf from the roar of the fans. That must be it.
I do have to say that merely ripping someone a new one (i guess the "one" is implied huh?) doesn't make them accountable for their actions. Clearly this SRS (secret rock star) wasn't all that phased by a torn "one", so his behavior probably won't change. You might want to think about consequences that will propel him to change his actions, rather than just his underwear.
As much as I want to cut him loose, I can't really do that just yet until I can find someone to replace him. I hope the "ripping of a new asshole" approach scared him enough to let him know that I'm serious. In the meantime, I am searching for a replacement behind the scenes.
And thanks for the compliment!
Amy needs a job. what does a porter get paid? -Angel
