| Fourth of July Jagermiester..and ..Kids? |
Okay so i just got home from work not even like 45 minutes ago. (Yes, my schedule is normally 5 till closing at midnight or one in the morning). Tonight... they thought I did really well the first time I was doing the kid bar. Selling toys and ice cream and such. They decided to just put me on tonight.. one of the BUSIEST nights, to do the kid bar again. Now people.. i know what you might think. "Oh god the annoying lil kids", "Ugh! Its right there on the beach and is freaking HOT!", oh and " Why the hell are they selling plyboy bunny necklaces here?".
Well my friends, I actually love lil kids. I can't wait to have my own so I love talkin to em and they love talkin too. I always friendly so people come up there pretty easily and make conversations with me. I sell stuff like crazy.Which is an absolute plus. And well, when it gets late enough, I get the drunks over playin with the light-up toys and buying like shitloads of stuff. =) haha
Well the first 3-5 hours were, in fact, quite busy. I was lucky that the store owner, his wife, and thier friend were kind enough to stop by every once in a while and help me sell stuff because I did get pretty slammed in the little area. I tried to do my best. I mean hell these guys hire over 200 employees and they're taking the time to help me out, talk to me, and trust meto run a gift shop by myself. I HAVE to do my best. The only issue I had was with the stupid bubble guns that produce shitloads of bubbles. We had many foaming up, some not working, and then kids throwing them in the damn sand and wanting another one. The latter one kinda pissed me off and it did the store owner's wife too, so we had to be a lil stingy with em. But I was sooo greatful when they practically forced me to go take bathroom breaks and drink breaks. The store owner knew I was tall the the bar is kinda small, so he let me walk around for a few minutes to stretch out and such.
But the fireworks were awesome to see coming out of the boats on the barge while we were on the beach. I clapped and cheered and danced with groups of people that came by.
Things kinda slowed after that and when only the adults were left and the two bars stayed open, I mostly got party-driven groups coming by and getting light up sunglasses and playboy bunny light-up necklaces..oh and the light-up bunny ears too.
Then one of the managers came up to me and told me I had to close down the bar pronto since there wasn't much business. Did totally what I was told. Cleaned up, locked the front of the bar upm, covered the ice creams, collected my tips and put a new trash bag and set the old one out. I'm guessing I did it fast because I stood out on the other side waiting for someone to come by and shut the main lock. The store owner's wife, Lily, came by with her friend and took out the money from the drawer, and talked with me for a minute. She told me about the schedule, mentioned she'd have to fire someone because they didn't show up today, and then casually asked me how much i enjoyed it and was even excited to say..and I quote,"You did an AWESOME job tonight, thankyou so much!". If my pride wasn't already swelled up, it could've burst.lol. You have no idea how happy I am to have heard that from her.I mean guys.. i've been working there ONE WEEK, and I already get along with my supervisors awesomely, my co workers want to hang out with me and talk with me.. i mean like i'm a totally different person at work and I love it. I love how I can open up and act silly.I mean heck I was dancing with a little light saber and this guy was actually dancin in front of me in front of the bar. lol And some other dude came up to the side and I acted like I was gona hit em with it and I let him try it out. He laughed and talked with me for a minute. Said he was Nelson and he and his friends were planning to get shit-faced that night. I'm like giving the thumbs up and saying,"Cool man! I really hope you enjoy yourself". We joked about my name. He totally didn't believe my name was ariel. Like.. most people. But hey, its catchy and memeorable. I'm really likin it.
I talked with Jess and Alex after I punched out. getting my shedule for next week. Got Jess's number because me and her wanted to hang out sometime.I was trying to hand off this stupid pretzel that fell apart on me at the kid bar but as still good. She had like two pieces and then we tried to give the rest to Alex. We gossiped just a tad. But...I tried to keep a low-profile and non-biased tone about some of it. She understood and I said my goodbyes for the night and hopped out of the parking lot pretty quick.
Got home and had a note set out for me from tio that said I had a sandwich sub in the fridge and some chips too.
I'm off tomorrow, thank God. Gotta find some way to get the info I need to be a part of the catholic church by Our Lady of the Gulf. I know my paperwork is still at the one I attended in FL, but I think i can switch it around.
I know Matt wants me to meet his gandparents. Apparently I'm popular with his family, everyone wants to know more about me and meet me its crazy.lol. He did take me out the other night though... we went to long-horn steakhouse and the steaks we got were like fucking HUGE. i loved it. lol. Then we went to the second beach that Matt's boss told him about and was like kicked off of it by the fish and wildlife service people. We were like WTF?. Cause the secret local beach... you know its like not really crowded at all and NO authorities come over there since we stayed out there till like 1 AM before. But this fucking beach kicked us of at 11 for friggen sakes!! lol whatever though.
Okay... I need a shower cause I totally sweating like a pig and I needto get up tomorrow to go to mass. See you people!!! ^_^
HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
