WE's Happy Hour Thread, including my unhappy house of cards

[Wretched Excess]

".

Happy hour was truly GREAT tonight!  with a number of other bar patrons helping, we
built the "WE house of cards.

this is what we came up with.

[Miss Mia]

Quite amazing handiwork for a couple of drunks.


LOL

 

[DixieBelle]

it was at least a half a dozen drunks, thank you very much.  we drew in people from around the bar.  the one that dropped the house paid for the round.

So the hardcore drunks were all congregated in one area.  What a happy bartender. 

[Splashdown]

I for one think that's cool as hell.

I didn't take it.  they just knew that I had a camera in my blackberry.  I seem to have a few rather unusual pics on my blackberry.  I swear, I walked out to smoke, and everyone was laughing for no reason when I got back.  now I know why.

it's a good thing that i have known them all for a long time, and consider the to be friends.

Re-sizing is your friend!

[Wretched Excess]

Re-sizing is your friend!

you tell me that all the time.

[Schadenfreude]

Re-sizing is your friend!

you tell me that all the time.

Everyone is trying to impress me tonight. 

[Miss Mia]

Well, for my good news of the day....

I talked with the admissions for Northwood and without saying it straight out, he said I wouldn't have trouble getting admitted into the program I want in.  Plus, I did let it slip that my mom is an alumni as well as the GM where I work. 

*phew*  I was sooooo worried that those classes I bombed when I went to UNT many moons ago were going to keep me out.

meh.  the impulse to impress someone is the basis upon which one wishes to create an impression.

if I haven't created an impression in you know, Schad, I never will.

I think I'm going to go with the Automotive Marketing/Management.  The guy that called me today said that once he gets my transcript in, they'll go over what's going to be transferred, etc.

how long until you  finish the program, and what sort of degree will you achieve?

[Schadenfreude]

Sounds awesome Mia! Good luck to you.

You get a BBA.  I'm excited about it.  The owner of where I work really likes the idea of me taking over for my boss in a few years.

I'm not sure how long it's going to take.  I don't know how much is going to transfer from UNT.  I'm thinking somewhere in the span of 2 to 3 years to finish up.  They do 10 week semesters:  fall, winter & spring, plus there's 3 summer semesters available. 

[Miss Mia]

Sounds awesome Mia! Good luck to you.

The GM & Owner have said they'll help pay for it, and I didn't ask them my boss told them they were going to help pay for it.  LOL




On another note, I'm currently watching the movie "Spanglish" and I'm surprisingly liking it quite a bit.

nose to the grindstone, baby.  it's hard to hold down a full time job AND go to school.

I think I'll be able to make it doing 3 classes at a time.  Once this current mess gets cleaned up at work, I should be riding well and might possibly have some study time at work.  *keeping fingers crossed*

hmmm.  where did that idea come from?

My boss knows how much money I make.  She went into the GM's office and told him my idea about going back to school to learn the controllers position and followed it up with "and I want to help pay for it" meaning Metro pay for it. 

She said while it's not a known thing, the owner has helped pay for many people to go through college if they were good employees.  Loyalty means a lot at Metro.

9 hours a week in class?  that isn't too terribly bad.

I didn't say anything about paying for school.  After she told me, I told her that I was gonna take out loans and I should qualify for some grants or something. 

My boss likes me
