Just got home from shift number two at my new waitressing gig. I waited my own tables with my own number and these little waitress chicks took more than half of my tips, cause you know it's only fair. Fair my ass.

I put a bug in the owner's ear that I wanted to start on the bar asap. Eff this waiting tables crap. The real money is one beer, one dollar. 10 seconds for a dollar is a good return on my time.

I auditioned for the choir the other night. There were six of us. At the end the dude says "Okay thank you all we have your numbers, we will call you." My cousins said that when they auditioned the guy said "Okay see you all Monday." So you would think....hmmmm...obviously somebody didn't make it and he didn't want to make them feel bad in front of everybody else. So of course I think it's me. And I tell my parents I don't think I made it. They are like, oh well that's okay. Then I get the call that I DID make it in. So I tell my mom and she says I am too negative for thinking I didn't make it. GAH.

Now I just have to come up with $3000.00 by Halloween so I can go to Ireland with the choir.

That's 3000 beers by Halloween. Not gonna happen. Oh wait is that negative?

Sign your receipts with a name and smiley face. Apparently it's a proven 5% extra in tips.
I want to say wear low-cut shirts, but you'll never get the buggers to leave, and those of us who know our way around waiting tables, know it's all about turnaround. ;)

3000 beers by Halloween? Shouldn't be too hard. Post ads in the halls of the local colleges / frat houses:

"I need to sell 3000 beers by Halloween! Won't you help me?"

Include a nice picture with the "cute puppy-dog eyes" look, and you should hit your goal in about a week and a half...

bar is where it's at, sister. you're right about that.

also, yes training sucks, but one day you'll keep someone else's money and it will all be okay.

A good bartender can make $300 a night, depending on how busy it is and how adorable the bartender is (no difficulties there).

So $300 x 5 = $1500 per five-day week, before taxes.

6 weeks till Halloween.

$1500 x 6 = $6000

And you only need half that.

Okay, so math isn't my strong suit, but if you worked wicked hard, I think you could do it.

Best of luck!

You know what you can do? Get yourself a PayPal account and a Donate button. Then place it on your blog and beg people to donate to your cause so you can go to Ireland.

With your popularity, I'll bet that you'll raise that money in no time. You know why? 'Cuz basically people just like you and we want to see you happy.

How could you NOT make the choir? I have heard you sing. In fact, I have SEEN you sing, complete with a bright orange wig and everything. You rock.

I'll buy your beers and help you get to Ireland. I'm thirsty and bored anyway. But be warned, I'll talk your head off and bore you to death. Yeah, I'm one of THOSE customers. Luckily though, the more I drink the less I talk. And the less I'll hit on you, too. I just go silent and deep when I'm toasted.
