I am thinking of doing something really, really stupid.
As many of you know, the World Cup is here. And there really seems to be some interest in it down here. According to my coworker, yesterday's England-USA game drew some major business.
The next USA game, against Slovenia, is Friday at 10:00 AM Key West time. Normally, The Bar opens at 11:00 AM, at which point the USA-Slovenia match will be well under way. Some bars around here that normally don't do mornings are opening early for such World Cup matches. My managers have said nothing about us doing anything like that.
But as I said, I am thinking of doing something stupid. I am thinking of asking New Boss Man if I can come in early Friday morning, and actually open up early for the game. I am not going to ask anyone else to come in early, and I know full well that the kitchen still won't be open till 11. But I am thinking, hell, why not make some extra money from some morning soccer fans/drinkers? That is a possibility. It is also a possibility that no one shows up and I lose an hour or more of sleep for nothing at the time of the day I hate the most. It is also possible that I get slammed by obnoxious people who refuse to listen to the fact that, cooks in the kitchen or not, there will be no food until 11.
So, what do y'all think? How stupid an idea is this? Should I tape my mouth shut and not suggest this to New Boss Man? Would handing out vuvuzelas to every unruly child under the age of 9 be considered highly intelligent by comparison? Or might this shit actually work?
