ahhhh, a bar…
sometimes i just love working with a place where there is a bar… tonight after work, we had our annual bar championships for our location… i did not realize that i was going to be a judge for this until i was about to head home for the night and my manager asked me to stick around to help be a judge for this… i abliged since it was an early night (we close at midnight on sunday rather than the normal 2am)… i was not going to at first but he needed one more person that had the knowledge and i just happened to be there at the time…
so, there i am sitting at our bar at work and watching as our bartenders are having to flip bottles around and make drinks to entertain the 5 of us that were there… (hey i am not going to complain, after a long night a drink or two is sometimes nice, and these are free)…
so, it lasted about an hour and a couple of drinks later i am home, nice and warm and feeling kinda nice… it was alot of fun and was not my first time doing this… i had been a judge for this once before and it was fun then as well…
as an aside, we had a nice bar when we lived in vegas and learned that we did not like most liquors and fell in love with scotch whisky (no e) and irish… it was tons of fun and we even had a nice margarita party once (great fun and thanks to a friend, fully funded)… it was a blast… but, now we are trying to keep our head about things and not going all out and have a small irish bar… we try to keep a couple of bottles around the house of irish spirits of various sorts… we have your stouts, whiskies, creams and even a bottle of irish mist… we have yet to get a bottle of celtic crossing but as soon as we come across one we are getting it… it is something that we enjoy and have learned that we like it in our espresso (non-irish but tastes yummy anyway)… so, now here i am at home looking over at our bar and thinking that i really need to put some more love into it… i think tomorrow is a day that i go out and get another addition to add… i think that tonight made me realize that it is as much fun to have as it is to enjoy…
(or maybe i am just babbling because i have had a few drinks) 🙂
