Full Moon

There's a full moon tonight. It was a very weird night, which I contribute to the moon. I worked today. It was supposed to be just a short patio shift. It's been so hot that people don't want to sit outside. What I wasn't counting on was that the plumber was going to show up to fix the drains behind the bar. He ended up snaking them out and the smell for most of the night can only be described as atrocious. So everyone wanted to sit on the patio. I was running all night. I dropped an entire tray of drinks (something I haven't done in a long time), I got stuck with "Boston Dave" who is an ass but tips well, and the guy I'm dating ended up sitting out there too. Having Sam on the patio wasn't bad but he and I have been going through a weird time and it continued to be awkward tonight. I'm going to wait for the moon to be waining before I talk to him about the awkwardness again.

Trivia was unusually busy tonight. We had a "meet up" group that my friend Holly is a part of come for trivia. She and I have know each other for a while and it was fun to see her. She always had a hug for me when I was feeling dumb or annoyed tonight. She brought her ex boyfriend and it was weird to see them together. I think they both still love each other, they are just in different places. He's a good guy so I want to give him the benefit of the doubt but part of me wants to be pissed at him because of my loyalty to her.

After what felt like the longest shift of my life, with the smell and the madness of a busy night, I was able to have a beer with Sam and some friends. It was the best Guinness I've had in a while. YUM!!! They took off and now I'm home trying to decide if tonight was worth all the effort expended.

I made good money (thanks, Kamil, JD and the boys...and Boston Dave, still a jackass though)!

I broke a bunch of glasses tonight and I did it in front of lots of people.

It STANK all night and not like regular stank like nasty sewer stank. The people who actually sat at the bar tonight, there were quite a few, are good people for putting up with it.

There was one crazy table who didn't seem to understand the rules of being in public. (it is not appropriate to put your bare foot up on the table even if you are outside)

I got to see Sam tonight. I haven't seen him in a while and I've been missing him.

One nearly perfect beer.

I guess I can live with the way the night went. Everyone seems to have made it out alive.
