I forget how much I like working in a bar until I'm working in a bar. I started my first day in a bar in my neighborhood. I like it so far. The employees are pretty chill and seem to enjoy each others' company, the managers are cool with my schedule and the patrons are pretty relaxed as well. The food is really, really good, too. I was expecting regular bar fare but this stuff is top notch. I would actually order steamed veggies and salad there--they are fresh and good. The vibe is definitely beach house hang out. The only thing I am concerned with is that you can smoke in bars in Virginia. I have a headache today and I'm not sure if I will get used to a smoky environment.So, the decor got me thinking about the beach. Apparently, I can go to the beach in Delaware and some other places that are closer than Virginia Beach which is 3-4 hours away. No surf anywhere though. I am wondering if I should just sell my surfboard? I mean, I could see if Yikes will keep it for me in Mexico. Currently, it's just gathering dust (dirt since it's still waxed). Shipping it here is pointless since there isn't any surf. Aside from that, being productive lately. Writing a lot lately. Reading a lot too. I'm really liking Chuck Palahniuck. I've read "Lullaby" and am reading "Fight CLub." I like Fight Club better as a short story but the book is good.So the plan for the week is to work in el bar all weekend, hop on a plane to LA on Tuesday or late Monday night, see parentals then come back Thursday or Friday in time for Friday night date. Work like hell rest of month, rinse, repeat. Within that time, I want to get all my tax stuff together for the accountant, write a short story, revamp written short story and make a target list and finish query. Hurrah! I like it when I'm productive!
