The pub/club I used to work in has been short on staff lately. I initially quit on New Year's Eve because I was just too busy with my other job (military) to keep up the pace of 4 12-14 hour days for the navy, followed by three days of 8pm-4am at the pub.

But yeah, they've kinda wanted me to come back since then (I manage to attract more girls to our pub, since it was the only one in town with a decent looking bartender, who's also got an accent) but I've been putting it off..

Well, I went in there the other week, I think Wednesday night, and started fucking around with one of the other guys I used to work with. Then I noticed her. The new manager is HAWT!! I'd already downed a good percentage of my Black Label SoCo (killed the bottle by the end of the night, not alone though) so I was a bit... wavery... I told Ryan to beat feet and go clean up some glasses that were on the tables outside. He took the hint.

I started shooting the shit with her, can't really remember what I said, ended up agreeing to come in on Tuesday to speak to her about a job (did I mention she's hot, and I want to "Americanize" her 20 minutes at a time?).. I *think* she has a boyfriend, so it might not pan out.


What do you guys think though??? Give up my current schedule of 4 days off a week (still pulling a 50+ hour work week) to start bartending on the side again?

Pros : Extra cash, I'd get paid in pounds. I'd fall knee deep in willing british sluts who I never paid attention to before because I was too into the jewish girl in the states (has dreds, I know I've posted pics of her up here before) ~ she became a massive bitch/cunt after I left and I finally realized it. Man-whore mode has been engaged..

Cons : I'd be working on almost all my days off. Exhaustion. Inability to travel as often as I'd like (not really doing that anyway, aside from random road trips). Free time would be a thing of the past.

Gimme your opinions!

(heading over to the bar right now to return a sweater to the girl I hooked up with later in the night, or early the next morning, that I met the new manager.)

Exhaustion will pw3n you.

I'd probably do it for a month or two then quit.

Try it for a while and save up some of that money. Then you can take that trip to Munich for Octoberfest.

Yeah, the exhaustion bit is the most daunting of all the reasons NOT to work...

I should be able to regulate that, to an extent, though. The overall manager is former British Army, so he's cool with me working there basically just for fun, without putting on *too* hard of a work load.. it's the other bartenders seeing all my days off and asking me to cover shifts that's a bitch, lol.

FUCKING BRILLIANT!!!

I forgot all about Octoberfest (shame on me!)... I was just going to put the cash aside to help cover shop/dyno time in England, lol.

You're not just gonna go home a go to bed at 4am either as I'm sure you know.

You're gonna be getting drunk and fucking sluts well into the afternoon. quite the scheule push pull with the Navy.

Hanging out with bartenders has been alot of my problem lately.

With any luck I suppose this would be cool...


Or, fuck luck. Without any fear (of STDs) that would def be a game plan..

That only works when your bed is about a two minute walk from your workplace. Three months is just about the point where you give up and accept the fact that you're stuck with it.. 6-8 months is a deployment. Done it four times now ^_^

Tough decision... October is Re-Enlistment bonus installment month ($3.5k), so cash will be readily available. However I'm also eyeballing a pretty nice V-mount from Re:worx (http://www.reworx.com/products_induction_intercoolers.htm)which, start to finish, will cost me 1.5k pounds...

Currently I'm afraid I'm living dead even with my means =( The only way for me to really save money would be to become a complete recluse and never drive the 7 ($4.40 a gallon as of yesterday).

I am all for an intercooler, but the air in England most of the time is cold and dense. I bought some eco box Golf and it helped with gas budget. You buy it for 1000 Pounds and sell it 2 years later for 900 Pounds. Plus you can insure your 7 as a "Recreational Vehicle". Save your money and go!

And it is in September too.

Already done. I've got an '86 Nissan as a DD, lol.. that thing has a carb!! (never worked on one of them before).

The air is nice, but right now I'm running a SMIC at 16psi on the higher setting... It just can't handle the cooling. Water Injection is going in on the 3rd, but still not sure if that will compensate enough. Besides, I've got the setup to run BNR's to their max (might need to upgrade secondaries for too much over 20psi though) so I may as well upgrade the IC and rock it out! (plus this is my last summer in the UK, back to the states and, probably, Norfolk next year... I *will* need it then).


I really need to quit fucking with the 7 (and breaking shit) so I can not be broke, lol.
