Water that street

What a GORGEOUS day it was!!!! Today is the first day I'm wearing flip flops! WOOOOOT!!!!

Tonight we are going out downtown for Beaky's birthday! I haven't been on Water street in....well, I don't know. I'm not quite sure what bars are on Water St (I have a feeling the last time I was there was with Lori). I'm looking forward to it as I am rarely ever going out downtown. Well, rarely ever going out period.

Tonight at work was a dud. I wouldn't have made any money but one of the bartenders came in tonight with a bachelor party. They ended up tipping me really well and I walked out of there with some serious scrilla!

Anyhoo, I know its not much of a post .... but atleast its something. I will probably update with pictures and a blog tomorrow. Hope everyone enjoyed the BEA-UTIFUL weater!!!!

So there it is.My new place of employment. The Avenue bar at the DoubleTree hotel downtown Milwaukee. WOOT!

Andrea works there in the mornings on weekends for some extra cash and she heard about the need for bartenders ....and of course she thought of me so she told the manager that I am looking for a job! The manager, by the end of her shift this morning (this morning!), was chasing her down saying, " Don't forget to talk to your sister about the position! " So her and I went in this afternoon to talk to him and have lunch. I filled out an application and 1 hour later, I've already gotten a call back. So. nervous.

I've been a bartender before ....but nothing as classy as this. Well, how do you measure up to Bluebird Campground? Heck, most of the people there were running from the law. Bluebird Hideaway is what it should be called! But, I wouldn't have changed those people for anything. They were like a home away from home...and they treated everyone there like family. I worked with Beaky there (she actually got me the job) and I remember first starting thinking, " I don't know if I can do this...so much to do! " Of course I got over that fear after a couple days (read: weeks) After awhile..... man, you put Beaky and I on a Friday or Saturday night shift and we could rock the house. We worked so well together. I hope that when/if I work with someone we have each others backs like we did at Bluebird. I think a lot of it has to do with communication and listening. If I heard Beaky was taking an order from someone and she needed something that was by me.....I would grab it and throw/slide/hand it to her. I almost want Beaky to bartend with me! Hahaha.

So I guess I'm just nervous/excited to start. I can make a lot of money working there...and I just hope that I can let my inner bartender shine!
