i'm a peacetime mandalorian
My life has been going smoothly of late, I think.
Boy and I are doing well. A rough spot or two that needs work but other than that we get along great and have fun together. Sometimes I get the impression that we're not really quite sure what to do with each other, as we're quite different in a lot of ways. But we like each other and haven't run into any large walls yet.
Or maybe it's like that with everyone and once you become comfortable with them you forget all about it until the next time. But I don't think that's true if you have one person who's more likely to take the lead. When both of you are more content to sit back and watch the show, it can be kind of awkward when you both decide to reach for the reins, then stop because you don't want to step on the other person's toes. It's hard to explain, but I think you understand.
Work at Blackstone is enjoyable. We're slow on the days I work, so there's a lot of standing around, but I'm slowly learning about wines and beers and becoming more confident with my drink-making. I've only worked with Mike thus far, and he's really funny. I don't know if I'll ever work with Ryan because Mike works pretty much every night we're open. The food at Blackstone is amazing, by the way.
Started at Marriott on Friday. That was going well at first, working with my friend Brax. Will and Matt will appreciate this: my first function ever? A Navy holiday party, the USS Boone. I ate something funky, unfortunately, and went home very very sick and miserable after a few hours. Thankfully I was fine by the next day, as I had to do some serious pants shopping before work on Saturday. Wet Seal for the win, as I found a style and size I liked a lot, and they had THREE PAIRS in. THREE. This is unheard of! Naturally I ganked them all, along with a cute black vest with leopard-print lining, and a cute red tie (getting on a tie kick, I think, thanks to Blackstone).
Things went more smoothly on Saturday. Five different functions, all requiring bartenders, so we had something like fourteen bars open that night. I worked a pair of bars with a cute guy from Tifton (of all places) named Alan. They also stuck another guy from Champs (a downstairs bar) in with us because I was new, but he didn't do much except cause us to split the tips a third way and get my number. I suppose I should have said something about my currently un-single status, but since I doubt he'll call me, it shouldn't matter too much.
Feeling a lot better about my drinks, so the only part I'm still shaky on at Marriott is setting up the bar, mostly because I'm not entirely sure how to find out how much of whatever beers I need and all that. I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Going out to Eclipse tomorrow night. See you there? :D
Shae.
