Brag: Taking Tomorrow (Tuesday 5/20) Off Work
I work the door at a bar. Don’t want to deal with the cheap burgers & schooners crowd, never mind the open mic comedy. Will be off til Wednesday 6pm MST.
Variance: Got a tipout percentage cut at start of the month that equates to $500 monthly cash in hand loss. Good thing I’m saving $1200 a month since I quit drinking thirteen months ago. Obviously, no PTO either.
Beat: Zoo no longer has elephants and I really do have to vacuum and do laundry including bedding including comforters.
Also, this is unlikely to occur.

Forgot we have a meeting Wednesday at 3pm so it’s already going off the rails.
be thankful of work... when you no longer work, you'll miss it if you have a 'driven' personality.

I’m the furthest thing from a driven personality but I am good at reading the writing on the wall, which is why I quit drinking.
I am grateful every day to have a job, especially when a young mechanical engineering graduate dropped of his resume at the bar, but I’d retire in a second if I could and never miss it for a second.
I’ve obviously had some great times and learned valuable lessons working but the bad’s outweighed the good 10-1. I’ll stop there other than to say I still sing along to Takin’ Care Of Business just like I did fifty years ago.
I will add that in sports terms, I have two work related championship rings, and with a former boss set an unbreakable world record 31 years ago, but given a do over I’d pick the trust fund instantaneously as I could keep the same relatives.
Did get laundry done including comforters.
