Sitting here in the office, needing to be doing some work but beat from the past week of prepping for and catering Oktoberfest (which was pretty much everything I hoped it wouldn't be, by the way) while still trying to stay on top of all the regular work.
Listening to the Ramones' Too Tough To Die, which, sadly, has to be the most ironic album title ever.
Wishing that Balloon Boy was real, and that he and the Beer Bear could go have adventures together and we could all watch and cheer and exclaim, "Oh, how clever the two BBs are, bringing peace to Dafur, and an equitable solution to the problems of Israel and Palestine!"
Also wishing that I was lying on a couch somewhere with my head resting in the warmth of someone's lap, just watching TV, or a movie, or just napping the day away as she reads.
Fuck it

I really, really want to hear about Oktoberfest. C'mon. It would be a great blog and you know it....
Working on Sunday sucks, but I suppose being in the restaurant business, you are kind of stuck with that. Have you read the book Waiter Rant? I listened to it on tape and only got about halfway through it before I got too bored to finish it. But, it had some interesting ideas. Like...he said that he never spit in someone's food, but when some guy was acting like an asshole to impress some woman, he did pretend that his credit card wouldn't go through and shrugged and said he would try one more time and then, of course, it went through....I thought that was pretty funny....
How about your restaurant patrons? Ever want to smack someone upside of the head?
All the time. I have Waiter Rant in my 'to read' pile, though I had started it when I bought it but had gotten bored (or just sidetracked, I don't remember), and tossed it to re-start later.
I still haven't read Waiter Rant...Em read it though and liked it.
