Dropped into a Mexican restaurant/take out about 12N and had two beef steak tacos with a choice of 2 different sauces. I took both. The tacos rocked because the meat was edible and not like shoe leather. The tacos were very juicy an that is a major criterion for taco cobblers. I'll be gong back for more!
That sounds amazing. Carne asada is one of my favorite things in life. I hope one sauce was salsa verde. Enjoy it for me as all the beef here is shoe leather quality, it is extraordinarily depressing.

That is highly accurate however we don't have the luxury of someone spraying us back to life. We just lay there.

Quit my new job yesterday. It eventually made me want to kill myself, so I had to get out.

Got an offer at the liquor store I frequent to work there. I'll take it, and start this weekend. Being among the alcohols sounds so cozy.

Now? Day drinking. Sweetness.

Working for your own candy store. Awesome. We all can imagine what your pay "checks" will look like. Also you can tell customers you`re out of KD and just hide it

That's how you do it. Walk off one job and right into the next. Are they paying you in Kentucky Deluxe?

Work was only mildly boring instead of the soul crushing time dragging hell that it usually is. Did well with the scratch offs and found a new beer at the store. Shaping up to be a fine three day weekend.

Somewhat so, in that I'll be getting a discount on the KD.=)

We'll see, though. The job isn't a lock, yet.

Worked my first shift today. Easy money.

However, it does break my heart that I have to card anyone who looks under 50. If I could have it my way, I'd let them all slide. But I risk losing my job and also incurring a $1,000 fine, which is enough to scare me out of not carding.

I'm also supposed to kick drunks out. Now that I don't think I will do, unless they're causing damage by knocking shit over or whatever.

What a fun experience this will be.

There used to be a really good blog by a guy who worked at a gas station/convenience store. All kinds of shit happened. Everything from the mundane interactions with the regular customers who came in to buy porn, to a pregnant woman who's water broke in the store.

I hope you'll consider posting the tremendously funny/absurd/sad/bizarre experiences you will no doubt encounter during your daily shifts at the liquor store.

Oh, rest assured that I'll definitely post about the more interesting items.

This town has some committed drunks. I've already begun recognizing the regulars. Some people stop in 3 times a day to buy little shooters, keeping the drunkenness alive one purchase at a time. As for me, I prefer to stock up and get locked into my couch -- always buying the right amount to last me the session.

I made a risky decision with one of the customers. A drifter-type looking dude, reeking of body odor, with copious facial tattoos. I asked for his ID, and he said he left it "in his truck." An obvious lie. I gave him a pass and let him buy the booze -- kind of risky, especially with the police presence just outside our door. However, I just didn't have it in me to deny him his cheap drunkenness. After all, what if that was me?

I've never handed out money or food to a bum. Simply hand him one of my cheap brewskies from my back pack and cut out the middle man. Let other folks buy food for them. That's not my own mission.

I'm in a the midst of a conundrum. I tend to be a pig-dog-sleazebag. So I end up in trouble with unsavory women attempting to piss in my whiskey coke. At this point, I am clear of issues that would leave a sloppy trail of woe. C is leery, but otherwise tolerant of my stupidity.
I have an uncanny ability to walk away clean.

One is not a problem. Just a barfly from 2 cities over. I'm guessing she does not have an Obama-phone, cuz she has been blowing me up with texts and voicemails.

The other, not so easy. Volatile is the word that describes this one best. Tattooed with a shaved head and a fervent cyclist and yoga practitioner. She actually thinks she could damage me. Like she really thinks she could take me. I know women can get awful and clawful, but I'm good. Simple escape and avoid would be the plan.

In accordance to a gentlemen's rules of engagement, I will be drunkeningly prepared for any issues that shall arise.
I'm also known as ssapals.

An utter shit show bringing the plant back up after a planned power outage to get some PM's done. 12 hours. On Labor Day. I knew going in maintenance works a lot of holidays because that's the only downtime we can manage. So that's no big deal. They used to give us an extra personal day or sick day for working them. I haven't heard if we are getting one for this one. Gonna be a bit pissed if they stop that. Any how 3 AC drives went out on one of the lines and none of the old firmware would download into the newer firmware. What a pain in the fucking balls. @ short hours and I will put the fear of Bacchus into my liquor cabinet. This I swear.

It's supposed to take four hours from deep in the heart of the woods of Maine to Mohegan Sun. It didn't.

Bartender told me that once, he saw traffic pile up in front of him for three miles at a salted snail's pace until he finally drove past three cop cars flashing for a dude on an arm, changing a light under a bridge.

Rubber neckers and lookie-Lou's causing more slow-downs and rubbing bumpers. Get the frig outta the way! You're cutting into my drinking time.

Se7en hours later, all pissed off, hanging out with a $16 pour of Blanton's with one cube at one of the casino's bars. I have to wait fifteen minutes before my Trappist Ale appears in front of me. Connecticut is like Britland. Barkeep has to keep you from getting into your cups at all. Nanny Laws?! All drinking is illegal in fifteen minutes.

I think that the police do home-searches to make sure that no one drinks at home between the hours of 10:00pm and noon on Friday because the blue laws are supposed to make everyone feel blue.

Now that I know, I'm stocking up for the week tomorrow. I'll make that little room-fridge my over-worked whore.
Fuck the mini-bar.

Wtf you basically burn down the place for a few messages? Grab some drink now!


Here some fun joke for you:

It`s civil war, protesters blocked the streets. They captured the government and threaten to bath them in gasoline and burn them.
The only way to free them is by collecting 1 billion in cash by midnight.

Like many others you are stopped by police on a blocked road. The officer desrcibes the emergency issue to you.

You ask, what are people donating?

Roughly five gallons per person the officer says
Drink!
