selfish

It had been quite some time. That seems to be how my life is going. I am having trouble keeping up. But I love it. I havent seen some of my best friends in months, and that is the big pitfall. I started barbacking, and I am working my ass off. I had a 20 hour day yesterday, and I am still recovering. But my foot is in the door. And next, should be my leg. I am touching into the industry I have wanted to be in since i was 14.

On that note, it has taken me learning to be selfish to get where i am. I went from always putting everyone else first to looking out for myself. It seems to be one of the factors i was missing. I sacrificed pretty much my social life to do it, but I still try to see everyone when i can. Thankfully i will be out of school soon, and i will be able to have a few extra nights a week to go out.

Not really sure that anyone reads this but hey, for what it is worth, i miss everyone.

Its been a month

Since I have been on there. That just goes to show how busy I have gotten with the 2 jobs. But it is paying off. Last night was my first night behind the bar actually barbacking. I worked harder then I have worked in many years, but it will pay off. I am working for the right people. I am making tips. I get to walk home with CASH at the end of the night.

The down fall to all this is that i never get to see my friends anymore. I never get to go out. The only people i see anymore are the ones i live with, and the ones that come out to the club. It really sucks. That is why this vacation this weekend is much needed. I took spring break off so that i could enjoy my time and see some people.

My day job is starting to get crazy busy too. The 12 hour days arent far away. We are short handed and trying to do it all with less people then ever before. It will be an interesting year...

Late Nights

Working at the club has already changed my schedule. Im usually pretty tired during the day, but then i start working and it wakes me up. By the time i get off work, Its hard to go to bed because i havent wound down. I need to find some people who stay up this late. Or maybe a gf to spend time with after i get off work? ;) haha.

I am loving the club. It is so much fun to work there. Occasionally, there are things i have to do that i dont want to, but whatever. Gotta start somewhere. I have some awesome coworkers, and some of the clientel are really nice.

Yep. Thats it.

Life.. or something like it

So I started my second job. I love it. I am absolutely beyond exhausted, but for some reason, i dont feel tired. its kind of weird. ive slept 4 of the last 48 hours, yet, i feel like i could stay up for hours more. I wish there was more to do at this time of night, but i guess i will just go to bed and sleep in.

Anywho, the new job requires me to clean, and walk around, and clean. I cleaned up puke tonight. That was gross. But it seems to be rare, so thats good. Most of what i do is pick up empty glasses and bottles. Pretty simple. I seem to be the one that keeps busy the most, so i hope the right people are noticing. Then ill be able to get behind the bar as a bar back, and so on.

Next week should be interesting.. I will put my self to the full test. I was exhausted today at my day job, but by the time night rolled around, i was ready to go again. The biggest downside to the job is that i dont get to go out on weekends anymore, which means i will see less of my friends. Which reaaaaaaaallllyyyy sucks. But I gotta get my foot in the door and work towards this.

Oh yea, and Macaroni and Cheese bites are delicious!

Make Money

So as most people know, I have always longed to get into the bar/nightclub industry. I would love to eventually open my own club and be a part of people having a good time. Well, tonight, I took my first step towards that industry. I got a 2nd job at Social Nightclub in downtown Sacramento. It is the lowest level position in the place, but it gets my foot in the door with the biggest nightclub owners in Sacramento, Randy Paragary and Bob Simpson. These guys have a full or partial ownership in just about every major nightclub in town, so for me to be working in one of their clubs is a huge chance to be noticed and work my way up in the industry. Special thanks to my cousin, Justin, for helping me get my foot in the door there

I am a little nervous about starting there. I haven't started a new job in 3 years, and it is going to be a little weird. I've been a manager for 3 years, and kind of made up the rules, so it is going to be quite the change adapting to having to report to people for everything again. But it should go well. I always tend to shine when I start somewhere new because I can be such a hard worker.

I won't really be able to go out on weekends anymore, and I am going to be busier then I have ever been before, but in the end it should pay off. Eventually, I may even be able to just have the night job and go to school during the day. But for now, the extra money is going to be great!

Insomnia

Well, I suck at sleeping as of late. I guess id rather enjoy more awake time. I don't dream much (that i know of), so i must make the most of my awake time. On the upside, I'm not the only one who is awake late, so there is always people to talk to.

Any who, I started school last night. I'm stoked. My teachers are cool, and the classes relatively easy. Except Math. I hate math. But I think i will handle it well this time around. My schedule is pretty light though because i couldn't get into a lot of the classes i wanted, so i figure i am going to look for a second job and try to pay down some debt. Not sure where though. Hopefully a restaurant, or a bar as a bar back or bartender. That would be ideal. And TONS of fun.

Officially, i need to go to bed. Or i will be worthless tomorrow.

New Begining

Well, here goes. My first blog. Given that I am trying to get out of the house and enjoy this beautiful 7o degree January day (wtf is up with that?!?), am going to make this a quick one. I am kind of over the Myspace version of blogging. There is just something about it I dont care for. So I decided to follow my good friend Josh and head over to this site.

I am starting school on Tuesday. I am pretty stoked to be going back because I have run out of things to do in my spare time. I guess I just lack the creativity that I used to have, and I need something to keep me busy. My poor cat seems lonely, even though I have been home more then I ever recently. He lets out these lonely groaning meows in the middle of the night. He needs a hobby too. Maybe Ill get him something to play on that is loaded with catnip.

Anyways, I am going to get out of the house. Tonight the roomate and I are going to the new casino with a few friends and his GF. Should be fun.
