P. just advertised a barback position at the Pub. Don't think you need bartending experience, just be good at carrying kegs and washing glasses, I think? Let me know if you're interested and I can see if I can help at all.
Saw that on fb, thanks Nora. I am not sure I can carry a full keg, actually!
There's techniques and tools that allow me to move full kegs, smonster. I'd be happy to talk to you about them - barback work is hard, but it can be super-profitable. Biggest thing is being able to anticipate what the bartender needs and then get it done fast.
Wow, it is getting slower in here.
One of my co-workers started singing bits of this the other day at lunch. Who knew it was from the 50's! Still works today!

He also introduced me to "The Little Drummer Boy Challenge". By which, as soon as you hear that song, you are out of contention. If you manage to go the whole holiday season not hearing it, you win. (not because it's a bad song, the Bing/Bowie version is one of my fav xmas songs!... just... the song gets played a LOT).
(yes, we are both a bit of Scrooges at the holidays. Him, because he's kinda like that all the time. Me, I just hate how Christmas is now THE consumer holiday, and seems to have very little to do with the reason the church started the holiday)
I posted this in Natter. But the kickstarter link smonster posted - the cutie in the yellow cape walking along is my nephew and Roxanne is his other aunt (his mom's sister).
edited to say I had no idea she was doing that

juliana, I'd love to have more info. Maybe we can find a time to talk on the phone or chat? Would love to also just catch up!
To further complicate matters, my friend M called today about some sidework that would likely start in the middle of December. But she's got to get some stuff together before we can start, and it's weather-dependent, and and and... That would be done by, like, 4 in the afternoon on Saturday, so I could still maybe work a night shift. But that might be getting in over my head.

Oh, I think it's a terrible song. I heard about the "game" on fb, and had already lost a few days later - we chose to listen to an all Xmas station at work and I heard it twice in one day.
askye, that is so crazy! It's a friend of a fb friend of mine, that's where I got the post from. And I was wondering because E has such an unusual name, but I thought it couldn't possible be the same one. He is a total cutie. I love the capes, wish I had the dosh to chip in and get a cape for myself.

I hate that song. I'd rather hear Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer.

Because I don't like Little Drummer Boy? Or because I'd rather hear Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer?
To be clear, I *don't* like Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer. It's just that in the DINAO version of Little Drummer Boy vs. Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer, I would choose the latter.

Because nothing says "Season's Greetings" like DINAO.
I am jealous because his other aunt gets to see him more often but Mom swears when he does pretend play he includes me in it and he talks about me more.

Sums up my holiday feels quite well.
