      why do i get the feeling they are doing the phased rollout in case they have another bad system? ( it would probably be the intelligent thing to do, anyway)

        Latest rumor....the NEW new system will replace the old new system by Monday. Keeping my gigabytes crossed....

          Update....Swing and a Miss!

          Yesterday, as promised, the new system was finally up and running, using the same hardware as the old system (basically just switched from one software to another).

          And...there were problems. Oh, were there problems. Enough problems where the Boss Man pulled the plug a few hours in and had us finish yesterday, and today, with the old system, until he gets a chance to really troubleshoot the new system.

          Something our resident Dipshit Manager had, allegedly, already done. Something that Boss Man kind of vented about, since several of the problems we had had were not simply minor glitches, but major fuckups that a casual troubleshoot would have shown up.

          Yeah, Boss Man was clearly not happy with Dipshit Manager. Since I am one of the masses who would gladly ready torches and pitchforks for Dipshit Manager, I can't say I was completely displeased.

          Though I DO want the new system. Hell, I even volunteered to stay after closing one night, and spend several hours running things on the new system to troubleshoot it as only an experienced bartender and server COULD. Which was when Boss Man unleashed his diatribe about how that should have already been done by you-know-who.

          Should be interesting to see what unfolds. Wouldn't surprise me if Boss Man takes me up on my offer to troubleshoot over the guy that, in Boss Man's own words, was being paid to do just that. And maybe I'll get really lucky, and the two things I can't stand about my job, the Old New Computer System, and one idiot manager, will both soon be out of my hair.

          What? I can hope, can't I?

                Sounds like Dipshit Manager just dug his own grave...

                            Why yes...yes I can. And I may.

                            It may surprise you (or not) to know that I don't post every horrible story from my bar. For one thing, I love my bar, and (usually) the management that I work for there. So I don't post every little thing there that pisses me off. I often let things go that would be so fun to post. Not just because I love my job, but also because I have posted enough about my bar on this site for some people to have figured out just which bar it is....so I am NOT going to post stuff that could come back to smack me in the ass.

                            This is the very reason why I did not get into specifics or post links regarding the radio and tv show I and The Bar were featured on, among other things. I really just don't want things that I post to come back and leave egg on my face, or have the potential for causing my bar any public embarrassment.

                            If and when that happens, I will consider it. Until then, I am, for the most part, going to do my personal best at imitating a clam.
