Liveblogging Work
Posted on September 6, 2005Well, not truly liveblogging, but more of a summation of what I’ve done so far. The entire club is closed due to the aeration of the golf course, except for the area where I primarily work, the bar in the men’s locker room, a.k.a., the stag bar. Granted, no golf, no swimming, no tennis, and no food service would lead one to surmise that no one would want to come out here, and so far that’s proving to be the case. More after the jump.
- 11:30: I’m scheduled to work.
- 11:42: I arrive and clock in; notice that my trainee isn’t here yet.
- 12:25: Finish reading the paper, watch “Star Trek: Deep Space 9″.
- 12:43: Poop.
- 1:00: Another episode of “Star Trek” starts.
- 1:28: Successfully finish “Word Jumble”. The answers are “IDIOM”, “ELKEN”, “BLUISH”, “FIZZLE”, and “FILLED IN”.
- 1:44: Phone rings. I tell the caller that the club is closed today, instruct them to call back on Thursday when we reopen.
- 2:15: During a third episode of “Star Trek”, the phone rings again. Member on the phone is angry that he was not informed that the club is closed today, wants me to retrieve his clubs so he can golf elsewhere. Upon investigation, I find that the bag room is locked up, and inform member of this. He angrily hangs up.
- 2:27: Fold 30 towels, return to “Star Trek”.
- 2:45: Start to get hungry, contemplating making a hot dog. Ultimately decide that cleaning the hot dog machine later is more effort than it’s worth.
- 3:00: Finally, “King of the Hill” starts. No more “Star Trek”. I notice that the trainee still has not arrived.
- 3:10: Accidentally brush uncapped highlighter against my shirt. There is now a big yellow-green streak across my chest.
- 3:47: Decide that I can’t wait to be out of here.
- 4:00: Recieve a call from the manager. “How’s business?” “I haven’t seen anyone all day.” “Go ahead and close up then.” Immediately after I hang up and begin typing this. Someone walks. in.
- 4:20: Upon finding out that I was supposed to leave right when he walked on, guy decides to leave. I decide to leave.

For a minute there I thought you had a 17 minute dump but then I realised that you weren’t blogging *everything* that happened
