Random Irritations

Bar staff in busy bars who just say "Who's next?" Come on, you're bar staff. It's part of your job to know who's next ...
Blimey, have you ever served behind a busy bar?
I have, and it's a bloody nightmare keeping track on who's next. With having to get drinks, keep track of prices and doing so as quickly as possible to the baying crowd who want their drinks now!
Worst job ever. ?

Yes I have.
The busiest place was the Miners Welfare Club, at half time in the bingo. Last number called then immediately about 100 people would descend on the bar at once. Not only were you expected to know the order in which they arrived, but what they wanted, and how much it cost without using the till. And if you didn't know, you damn well learned quick. And you had to have them all served before the bingo started again.

But as an irritation, it gets me most when there's only 2 or 3 people at the bar. That's not hard to know.
 
Had my latest Covid booster yesterday
The arm isn't hurting, as such, but every few minutes it aches like nothing on earth for 5 minutes and then settles..
To say it's keeping me awake is the understatement of the year and means Sunday is going to be a very, very long day:mad::sleep:

My wife and I have kind of been putting it off. My wife's daughter (nurse) got hers a couple of weeks ago and she had a pretty bad reaction to the Moderna shot. Missed a few days of work, high temp, joint pain, super tired etc. I haven't scheduled my flu shot either...... But, I did finally mail in my UK self assessment yesterday!....I've been putting that off as well.

I had my flu jab weeks ago and only had a sore arm for a few hours. HID had his on Friday and it was the same for him. Haven't had booster though.

Had my 4th Covid jab Thursday and flu jab at same time. Felt like shite all day Friday.
Woke up feeling fine on Saturday and played a decent enough 18 holes.
 
I'm hoping to be similar as reacted to all the others, so maybe this one will be fine! Either way it will be short lived discomfort for the benefit.

Absolutely, I made sure I had the day off afters rather than work cuz didn't want to let them down, so I just had golf pencilled in and told my playing partner I'd let him no at 6am on the day if Id make the 10am tee
 
George Ezra. He really is the new Coldplay. A couple of good songs when he started, now just formulaic drivel.
MrsA is choreographing a paso doble to his latest offering, so I'll be hearing it 10 times a day for the next 2 weeks.
For pity's sake, please make it stop.
I've managed to convince MrsA that "Dance All Over Me" blatantly rips off "Nothing Breaks Like A Heart", musically. They're so similar that the choreography is interchangeable between the two songs. I may be about to achieve a small victory.
