Top 5 Concerns about being a “cocktail waitress”

Filed under: ackahol, beer, chillin today, fashion, scotch

1) I will run into one of my students.  Fuck that.

2) Having to carry a heavy tray of drinks while wearing heels.

3) Consequently spilling beer on a ‘patron’ or whatever.

4) What if I get grossed?

5) Well, they’re not allowed to hug me unless they tip me $300.  I wish that I were kidding.  The interviewing manager instructed me on this.

I have to wear BLACK SLACKS, I don’t get it, but whatever.  Why can’t I this?:

Okay, the one on the right is too extreme, but the one on the left is better than black fucking slacks.  I stuffed the fuck out of my bra for the interview, and I haven’t put up recent pics lately, but I lost about 10 elbows since then and I’m just going to stuff my fucking bra.



On Other People and How to Handle Them

Fuck most of them.  Fuck them right in the face.  Don’t even worry about it.

JK’s!  What a shit day I’ve had, and now I’m just full of BEANS.  For starters, I almost leapt across a desk today to non-lovingly smack someone in the face.  Then I actually said this:

“If I am made to do that, I will end up walking out.  Again.”

Great job, Self-from-Earlier-Today!  “How to Win Friends and Influence People”, yeah, I wrote that book.

Oh well.  At least I didn’t fart.

Dudes.  You know how I like to drop out of the PhD program every year?  WELL, I QUIT AGAIN TODAY (via an epic-ass email sent at 3pm.)

My boss’s response:  ”I understand your frustration and anxiety.  I used to feel that way, too.  Let’s meet tomorrow and I’ll give you some tips/lessons I’ve learned on how to deal with stress.”

Jigga WHAAAAt??  

dammit-to-hell

 

He clearly is in denial or only read 1/8th of my email.  I picture him looking at it with one eye closed, pointer fingers in his ears, and screaming “LA LA LA LA LA!  I CAN’T HEEEAR YOOOOU!!!” Did I mention that the email was epic, and listed all of the reasons why I want to quit, as in QUIT, the program?  

 

dammit

@L$H%@$#gw^.  So now I get to have “Awkward Conversation of the Year” at 4:30pm tomorrow.  At least my Friday presentation for work is now canceled (high-five, guys!)

Wish me luck.  I have no idea if I’ll get snake-charmed into staying in the program that makes me hate my life and all living things.  LE FUCKING SIGH.



GET ME OUT OF THIS GODFORSAKEN SHITHOLE

OK guys:  FLIGHT CANCELED.  If I could bitch-slap the weather, I would.

I was so looking forward to NOT THIS.  Since I am an emotional handicap, I’m pretty sure the entire airport knows I how I feel about my extended stay in Iowa.  

Please, someone talk to me.  I’ve already tried screaming SERENITY NOW!!!! but that pissed everyone off.  

I’ve started drinking.

That smile was captured en route to the Airport of Sadness.  It has been turned upside down.  A couple-few more heinekens and we’ll right-side-it-up again.



On Staying at an extended relative’s house
December 25, 2008, 12:21 pm
Filed under: Iowa, bored, chillin today, eating food, farts, gross, mental, oh fuck, old people, scotch, trips, you

Relatively Constant Circumstances:

  1. Softwater
  2. Going ANTIQUING against one’s will. Oh yeah I am being super-cereal about this
  3. Where is the tobasco? Do I have to eat the fish eggs :(
  4. Can I put this down your garbage disposal / do you like your dishes in the dishwasher facing North? [AGAIN, super-cereal] / where do I put my empty glass bottle?  
  5. Had to leave all my recreational “God made dirt => dir’t don’t hurt” plant life at home
  6. B&W movies, of which I don’t have an across-the-board prob with, but who watches “The Day the Earth Stood Still” in its original version when you have 20-something guests in your home?  
  7. Sneaking alochol.  Hoping no one planned to put scotch in their eggnog, as I have stolen and hidden it in the basement guestroom. 

2) piggie 3) iowa-gross 7)iowa-spiked-coffee-11am1

Consequences of the Above C ircumstances

  1. I cannot get clean, no matter if I rinse long enough to freeze myself out when 6 other people are taking/have already taken showers. Filmy soap scum is an evil, slippery force.
  2. I’ll show you the rest of my “finds” shortly.
  3. I am not satiated.  Not hardly.  The W.T. in me doesn’t like fish eggs.
  4. I don’t want to be a pretentious dick about your refusal to recycle so let’s all get uncomfs when I ask where to put the empty glass :(
  5. I could handle this whole thing in a more civil manner if I had some herbal assistance and had decided to bring my Wii.  My lungs are sort of thanking me, though.
  6. Actually, who wants to see either version?  OK, if you’re a guy with the guy retard gene, may-hap you wanna see the remake with KEANU.  Full disclosure, I have the retarded chick gene that has caused me to watch Kate Hudson’s “How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days” 130492x.
  7. When there isn’t 50 people up in the kitchen, must spike whatever is on hand, and with a quickness.  

Bonus glass of FAKE WINE of TRICKERY:

iowa-gel-wine1 iowa-gel-wine

P.S. I hope you guys hearted your ecards if you requested one.  If you still want one, send me an email at halfassitude at gmail.  Wuv you guys, would rather hang out with you via interton any day.

OMG T-Givingz 2oo8:

1) Uncle Robert* regaled us with tales of Istanbul in the 60’s, where you may:

   a) wipe your butt with your finger, then have that fingernail cleaned and spritzed with perfume by a presumably very sad lady attendant, OR

   b) participate in the “Wall of Spoons” method, where there’s this wall, and everyone has their own spoon.

   Nice, right.

2) I started World War III, natch (see Fig. 4c).  Not kidding, either.  Sry.  Can’t help it.

3) I decided to get a new T-Givz dress overnighted because I am a bratty little shithead (it’s below).  My NEW FAVORITE CUST SRVC REP waived the overnight fee.  I almost proposed.  I’m standing on my ancient piano there. Know any elves?  That shit needs tuned.

4) I had to watch the football >:O.  Not cool, guys. Did not want.

How was your T-Givingz?  I’ve been drinking way too much scotch lately/again.  Hope I don’t grow a beard.  Did you know you can put scotch in egg nog instead of whiskey?  You totes can.  Maybe that’s duh but I was pleasantly surprised.
