Scenes from an Italian Restaurant

Well, maybe not an Italian Restaurant exactly, but I love Billy Joel, and that's one of his best songs.  Really, these are scenes from my job working at a bar:

- I overheard two separate patrons make comments about me.  The first "that is the skinniest bouncer I've ever seen."  The second, "that is the best-dressed bouncer I've ever seen."  So apparently, the jury is still out on me.

- At one point, a woman with an eastern European accent literally tried to stare me down and intimidate me into letting her in, despite the fact that there was really nothing I could do.  It was kind of incredible. It was a straight up "Evil Eye", and comically so.  All I could do was be polite back.

- Some people were nice and respectful, some people not so much.  Who do you think I was more likely to go out of my way for?

- Having a job where 95% of it is interacting with customers is super refreshing after law school/the bar where 95% of it is spent alone in thought.

- There is a really cool camaraderie among the staff.  It reminds me how much I miss being part of a team.
