Pressure... bum bum bum da da dumm dumm

Sheeps is healing nicely, ahead of schedule, actually. This is all good. She is still in the back brace, but only for a couple more weeks. She'll still have to take it easy, but it is one more step in the healing process, and she won't have to wear the hot, sweaty, uncomfortable "turtle-shell" any more... I'm still waiting on her birthday present. It isn't ready yet. The factory is custom making it, so it is taking a while. Meanwhile, she keeps prodding me for hints. What it is.... HAH! I'm not telling! Just have to wait, dear!

People. I look at some people out there, and have to shake my head. I pity them. Honestly; pity. Sad, sad, sad... I truly hope they find the help that they truly need. I know that's all a bit obscure, but that's all you get.

I found a truly hilarious site: http://www.bullyonline.org/workbully/attent.htm You really need to check this out. It is supposedly a "serious" psychological website dedicated to helping others... What it is is a joke. It gives analysis, diagnostics, and advice for mental disorders. Theoretically. Is the author a Psychiatrist? Nooooooo. Psychologist? Noooooo. Sociologist? Nooooo. Trained therapist? Noooooo. Some type, any type of clinician whatsoever?? Nooooooo! He's a computer programmer! Yes! He has a degree in computer programming! WTF?? What makes this guy an expert? He was bullied at work. Yes, that's his qualification. The sad part is that some people actually read this drivel and take it seriously, and actually take advice from this goob. How sad is that? You really, really need to give it a quick perusal, though, strictly to get a good laugh. You'll find all of your friends in the descriptions, not to mention yourself. Pretty much every aspect of human character is covered, so we're all psychopathic attention-seeking bullies. Well, according to a computer programmer, anyway..... LOL!

The bar has kind of sucked, lately. It is summer, so business is down a bit. That means less tips, which is less incentive to be there in the first place... ATF has been after us, as well. They've been sending in underage kids to see if we'd serve them. We really do need to watch whom we serve, but occassionally one slips past. We've had a couple of bartenders get arrested over this. They send the kid in, and then a troop of ATF officers come in and arrest the "offending" bartener. I was lucky. I caught the one they sent in after me. It was before the doormen came on duty, and I was setting up my bar for the night's business. This kid looked too young, but then again, they all are starting to look that way. Sucks to be getting old... But I digress. He asked for a drink, I asked for an ID. Wasn't old enough, so I sent him packing. The officers came in shortly after, and congratulated the manager. Oh, well.... Now we have a meeting with them tomorrow. No one knows what it is all about. They'll probably just chew us out for a while, and "teach us how to spot fake IDs. I'm going to have to miss the SCA meeting, but that's okay. Maybe I can make it in time for dinner with the gang...

Time to call it a night. C'ya!
