Day 88—Wednesday, April 7th
Mustang Harry’s
I had a horrible, horrible, horrible night at work. Did I mention it was horrible? I know better than to write about specifics regarding my job on a public website, but take my word for it, it was fucking horrible. I’ve had bad nights at work before, and I always manage to make it to the bar and be Mr. Friendly 365 Bars Guy. Well that shit isn’t happening tonight. I’m going to the bar, but I am not going to be the life of any party. I’m too tired to write much here as it’s just a little after three am. I have to go to a bar close by work to make my three beer limit and I’m too tired to even rant. So here goes (almost) nothing. I’ll try and do better tonight. Let’s go before they call last call.
Mustang Harry's. La de fucking da.
Here's the bar, let's get the three drink minimum and get the fuck out of Dodge.
One.
Two.
Three.

They got booze and food in here and it’s pretty big. It’s about a block away from Madison Square Garden, so if you’re going to some dumb fucking concert or some stupid-ass sporting deal, you could come here before or after. I really don’t give a flying fuck. Okay, I’m done, fuck it.

HA HA HA! I thought you were being a wise-ass with the name! That's great, if you're in the NYC area, let me know and you can join me on the crawl.
Jaws, dunno bout the yellow tape & all that commotion, we live with 'em & are use to the funnel web these days...they burrow into the ground & the entrance to their tunnel is where the funnel like web comes from...where i live, 2min walk from the beach, & right along the coast from sydney to nth Qld they are everywhere....i have heard of people gettin' pest controllers in when their backyards are infested, but its alot cheaper just to pour diesel down the holes, that fuks em up pretty good.....they are most active thru summer when it rains & their burrows flood...thats when ya really gotta watch out for the fukers
& Jaws, i've only ever seen one blue ring occy, they are tiny & hard to spot & yeah they are pretty bloody nasty....but if you want the king of the sting when it comes to water sports, check out our Box Jellyfish....cant see them in the water, they have tentacles like 20ft long & these tentacles break off when they come in contact with the human skin....dead in bout 5min....if you want to see one in action, Wil Smith has one in captivity in a movie called 7 Pound....you'll see what i mean...
Gidget, you're a naughty girl!...thanks mate for puttin' a smile on my dial :-)
Zioum Zioum, isnt this the job you bullshitted your way into??? sorry to hear ya not happy....maybe Quality Assurance Tester would be more up your alley? say $150k plus an expense account....to go around all the bars tasting the tap, bottle beer, basically everything & anything at random to make sure they are up to the high standard us patrons deserve & demand....think bout it there nothing worse than getting an off/rancid beer, really demoralising...
fitzy, you're like a barly in here! I love it!
My friend, I can truly appreciate your pain. In this business, I've had plenty of nights like that; to the point where I don't even want to post on my own blog. And you know what, you're allowed to blow off steam and vent and even take a night off from doing your thing. No one will get mad if you take the occasional night off. It's better having you on your "A" game than seeing you miserable after a bad day/night.
Keep up the good work and hope things get better!
Cheers!

Like we says in France "Bien vu l'aveugle!" (litterally, "Well saw the blind!") or I think we can traduce that with something like that: "Bingo" !!
Maybe all of this come from my frustration about (one of) my real Job... I've been Quality/Safety/Environement Technician in my last Job (concerning ISO 9001/ISO 14001 & OHSAS 18001 standard), and I love this Job but my ex-boss really pissed me off and I exploded the computer, insulted him and left... The company paid the engineer school I was in so I also had to leave the school and I didn't get my diploma !!
Well, I know I'm very good for this Job (& my ex-boss realized too late because he called me back several times to lick my ass asking to come back!) But that's the problem to be good ! Not easy because you have to test all process in the company & finnally tell your boss that he's wrong about the way he's making work the company...
Also, in France, I have what we call "the youngest syndrom" ... I'm young! so I can't do or think better & can't be right in front of the one older than me... Cultural french shit inside companies, that's the way it works! And worst, you can't be more intelligent than the old too !
In fact, to work in France : You must be stupid and aged between 30 and 50 years old!
So, If a foreign company want to test his bar : The french Zioum Zioum is here! ;)
$150k !!!! LOL ;)
For this restaurant Job, they pay me 8,50€/hour (11,30$) ... I'm far of the $150k !!
What happened yesterday is, the place where we put the dirty plates/glasses/forks etc for the guy who make the washdishes is too small, and when it's rush hour, we pile plates up, and yes indeed we still didn't defy the gravity law !! so the pile of plates fell and almost 40 plates i've been broken... The boss got mad and asked what happens. I told her "The place is too small, it's why" she answered "You're not here to tell us how to work"
Ok, she's right ! If they pay me a misery, I don't know why I would tell them what is not working well in their process!!!
And if something get wrong again and she asks what happens, I should answer : "I don't know, I think Jesus is unhappy and broke all the plates !!" LOL !! ;) haha
hey Zioumy, have ya got big tits? ya can break as many plates as you want if ya got big tits!!! not a problem....
no matter, ya a female french frog with attitude...thats so cool mate!!! you have my vote of approval...& when i buy (if) a pub i'm bringing you out to run the restaurant & SECURITY....you are good value darlin'!!!
Hey, is that a giant stripper pole?
2 words... GIGA CATALOGS
@Happy Cappy: Oh shit! I just threw up a little!
@Fitzy : I think my tits are too small to break plates !! But Jason thinks they are big enough to break his balls!! HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHHOHOHOHHOHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!
Yep! with my 1,55m (5,09 ft) tall, I'm sure I can be great for the security! By the way, some friends call me "the Pitbull" because one day I threw out of a bar a guy 2 times bigger than me!! ;)
