OMG I'm going to be thrown into the street!

152. all the stuff falling apart here that I had to deal with

It started with the sewage pipe and from there it was one fiasco after another. The sewage pipe, the leak in the ceiling, the toilet fiasco, and the last straw with my old boss was the hot water heater that I couldn't make the beast fix for a year while it had a small leak and eventually blew up all together last year in March.

By the event of the water heater blowing up (last year in March) was when when my old boss got fed up with all the house falling down issues and sacked me. Though I surely miss the income I sure don't miss the job. I had to take it though since it was reasonably full time and I needed a job. This can be a really shitty business. Places close without telling anyone, or change ownership or management that sack everyone across the board and bring in their own hirelings you have no way of knowing anything about. I've not been one of the lucky few that get to work in a nice place that's fairly decent to its workers. My old boss was a coke-head who inherited the business and had not a clue how to run it. Basically, it was a really tiny dump that was pretty much a 7/11 for the buyers and sellers of illegal drugs. During the day it wasn't so bad (when I worked) since it was mostly blue collar workers. Very few people at all though during the day most of the time though.

I love the job in general - working as a bartender I mean. Even in this dump I met a number of very cool people and laughed a lot. I still miss some of those customers. I think the one I miss the most was the giant guy that was in construction that had worked as a bartender in his youth and taught me some great bar tricks. Most of them were pretty rude, but funny as hell. 101 gross tricks to do with a basic square paper bar napkin.

I have to try getting some sleep again. I can't seem to shut my brain off though it's probably turned to mush my now.
