PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Today's good news" |
LAST EDITED ON 02-24-05 AT 09:12 AM (EST)Yes, I know that *I* am usually not the one for starting these kinds of threads unless it involves good things for the GOP, but this is actually good news for me. I've got a new job (I know, you weren't even aware I was looking).  Back in December, Christmas Eve as a matter of fact, my former employer had a top down change starting with the Board of Directors and rolling all the way down directly to my direct boss. My new boss, without even having a conversation with me, decides that he needs to make room for his own cronies and promptly converts me from an employee to an unpaid consultant - meaning that any of the sales I was working on would get paid on a commission basis only. So, I have been essentially out of work for two months. Earlier this week, after hours and hours and hours of interviews I received an offer from a company that sells technology solutions for bars. It's actually a nice little bump in pay, a GREAT bunch of people in a small family-like environment AND my very first day on the job I'll be spending at the Nightclub and Bar Convention in Las Vegas. Life can be pretty good. To top it all off, the 'project' that I was working on with my old company is going to sign a contract that, under my revised consultant agreement, will pay me twice in commission what I would have recieved as an employee - which is a very nice FU to the guy who is now scrambling to try to hire me back. It is a HUGE $6M deal that I am going to get paid on AND have a wonderful new job to boot. God does have a plan after all! So, how about everyone else out there in OT-land? What is YOUR good news of the day?

Congratulations! Does this mean you'll stop whining about how much taxes you have to pay to support jobless lowlifes and questionable artistic endeavours?

This company has invented a device that through wireless technology, can provide real time inventory of your entire bar, track every pour, and cut about 140 hours a year out of the average bars need for manpower. Eventually, it will also automatically be able to bill it to the customer at the time of pouring, trigger re-ordering and provide an entire Enterprise Resource Planning function.I will be working directly with the distributors, so it's also a little bit higher level of sale - which I really like as well.
If you are home, you should definitely still be sleeping. Feel better soon!

AND my very first day on the job I'll be spending at the Nightclub and Bar Convention in Las Vegas.Now that sounds like a good time! Congrats PRE! Me? I close on my very first home in 3 hours and 38 minutes. Our closing costs ended up being a grand lower than we thought. My PITA MIL actually did something nice for us and sent us $500 to hlep refinish our hardwoods. We found out that our hardwoods AREN'T going to need to be refinished so that is now going towards buying a rug for the dining room. Weeeeeeeeee!!!

Actually the cool thing about it is that it measures actual volume and still allows the bartender to free-pour. There are other products that simply will just allow the bartender to pour a single shot, this lets them pour whatever and actually measures the volume that flows through the spout. It is actually sophisticated enough that it can compensate for differing flow rates, speed of pour, bottle sizes, etc.It still allows the bartender to pour as little or as much as they want - since sometimes you overpour to make a customer happy and that is just part of being in hospitality. But bartenders who abuse that, or take cash for drinks, won't like the device very much at all.

Congrats on the new job!My choice: A) Watch cute barbabes count bottles on upper and lower shelves, or B) Crunch inventory data passed in through a transmitter.

"You don't usually get to SEE the bar-babes counting since it usually happens after or before hours though. Less time in front of the POS terminal means more time chatting."That would be the editorial 'you', correct? I don't see how an electronic inventory system is going to allow the barbabes more face time with the customers.

The inventoring part wont, but once it has a billing function built in, it will. Just doing my part to improve the lives of average Americans.

A guy I work with today asked me if I am loosing weight.
Which you might think could potentially be dicey but I am trying... so it turned out to be a good thing.
