Ok, that's it. First thing Tuesday morning, I'm marching into personnel and telling them to send my paychecks directly to Bleu.

good morning.

I'm up earlier than usual... and I am more in need of coffee than ever. The Ingrate is gone, I'm working by myself again. Luckily, i have a part-timer, but she's not in until thursday.

Shit.

Nevermind the coffee... I'll take a Peppermint Annie.

Make that two.

It's extra coffee for all of us this morning. Had to take a long detour on the way into the office to see my friend Andres at his roastery. Tasty.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:17 am

You can bet that I'm stopping to get a good carafe for the coffee today... I'm tired of making it and having it burn in the pot, since i'm the only one drinking it...

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:24 am

GE... I'll be available to work after 1/31... fuck... at least they're working me now...

Just some coffee, please...

HOLY FUCK! Can you imagine Samtzu working for Guinivere???!!!! That would be about the craziest thing in the world. Kinda rough commute, though.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:30 am

Hmmm, thats funny. yeah, one helluva commute.

buckethead alien · Post by **buckethead alien** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:36 am

I can just imagine the interview:

Guinivere: Mr. Tzu, can I call you Sam?

Samtzu: Yeah, baby, you can all me whenever you like.

G: Uh..right. So do you have any customer service experience?

S: I got yer service right here!

... and so on.

samtzu · Post by **samtzu** » Mon Jan 03, 2005 6:42 am

Well, three hours each way isn't tooooo bad.... uh.... wait...

... and I can be just as ungrateful as the next employee...

More coffee? Where's my coffee? What do you mean I have to pay for it? Sheesh....

... and where are my peeled grapes?...

Hmmm, yeah. and then Woodrow would want to have a more 'in depth' interview, and...

Where is the real bartendress, anyway? Sheesh.

May I suggest adapting AntiM's name machine to bartending--coloum a--mixer, column b--liquor, column c garnish, column 4 serving method. Or make it all beer all the time until Tish is back.

Overrated. Gimme an ale or a porter, those Czechs can keep the Pilsner and use the glass beads for international currency.

I once saw that graphically depicted on sheets in a Love Hotel. Too bad I was too chicken to swipe them.

Although it may have been an octopus with the fisherman's wife. Hard to count so many tentacles when they're all twisty and um, probing.
