The full time bouncing thing has been treating me alright so far.

[casavant]

Hidee ho neighbors. I haven't been on much for a little while. Been bouncing and stuff and my nights and days are totally turned around. Like, I got up at 7:30pm yesterday evening, went to the bar at 9:30pm and worked until about 3am. It was a busy day, with the Razorbacks playing Tulsa and all. But anyway, I haven't been to sleep yet, and really don't plan on it. Gonna make the most out of this beautiful day.

But yeah, the bouncing thing has been going just fine. Saving the cash money for bills that I have to pay at the end of the month is kind of hard when everyone wants to grub at Denny's after work and I'm taking home a sixer of Red Stripe most nights as well. I'm having fun though. I'm appreciated at my job and I haven't had much trouble getting extra shifts at the owner's different bars. It's a good feeling.

Don't know how long I'm going to be doing this, but it feels really damn good for the moment.

Just though I'd let y'all know.

[strangebrew]

got any good bouncer stories?

 

[casavant]

Thanks guys.

I have today and tomorrow off. Fortunately, I've been doing this for almost four years, so I know what some of the pitfalls are. Not that I always make a big effort to avoid them, but at least I know if I'm starting to slip and can keep it in check.

I've been getting in some good workouts during the early evening with a couple of guys who are really, really dedicated. I've actually recommended to them that the tone it down a little bit because if anything, they're overtraining. I also recommended a basic periodization program for them that I think is going to take their three basic lifts (squat, dead, and bench) to new levels. They're going to freak when they start making strength gains on a program that seems to pale in comparison to some of their previous high volume, always-to-failure routines.

But yeah, things are going pretty well. The places I work at don't cater to a rough crowd, and I've been working at them part time for the past year and a half, so it's not like it's a totally new environment.

Life is good right now. Things can change. Things can go to shit. You can die any moment. But if by and large you're enjoying your day-to-day existence, you can't ask for much more.

LOL. Nothing to juicy, but I'm sure I could wring out a couple genuine articles.

Gotta run for now. A buddy just called and I'm going to go hang out with him at his log cabin house on the lake and shoot my .30-06.

Y'all have a good one. I'll catch ya on the flip side.

[Testosterone boy]

Glad to hear that things are going well.

Must not have too many female bosses and female co-workers with seniority.

 

[MFMan]

Good luck with the whole bouncing thing. I like to frequent bars often and don't know how those people work in that enviorment day in and day out. But more power to you if its what you like to do.
