What A Weekend
By: bigluke23
Jun 3, 2012 - 07:54 pm
Went in to work at 3 PM Friday and just left a few hours ago. Worked 3 PM until 5 AM Friday/Saturday. Slept in my office for a few hours, had a meeting with a beer distributor at 9 AM. ( I may never buy from them again for scheduling a meeting at 9 AM on a Saturday) Had a heavy metal band showcase at the bar Saturday afternoon, normal work Saturday night, got done at 5:30 AM. Started work today at 9:30 for a School of Rock showcase.

I'm exhausted, but the weekend was awesome, made a lot of contacts, and booked a few more special events. Hopefully nobody missed me too much around here

sounds like you're livin' the life, Luke! good for you!

My weekend was VERY laid back. My boys and I picked up some movies at the library on Friday. I got Run Silent, Run Deep... LOVE that movie... and no, I'm not that old, it's way before my time, but I love it anyway.

Hub was away for the weekend on some Scout climbing training event.

Been raining bats and dogs, but I still got in a run. I've just re-started a running program in hopes of maybe running a half marathon. It's still too early to tell if it's beyond my reach, but I'm thinking about it!

Glad you had an amazing weekend!

Crappy metal music, sleeping a few hours a night on a couch, and too much fried food...not exactly living the life!

I got an unplanned night off from the factory job so I got to spend some time with the wife and kids this weekend. I hope that doesn't screw up next weekends schedule because its my son's birthday.

After 5 weeks of almost non stop banquets, parties, catering, etc., longer than normal days and 6-7 day work weeks, I finally get a break. Two weeks of "back to normal".

Our banquet manager recently quit, so we're trying it out as me doing her job as well. Before, I was her boss. It's tiring, and a lot of times dealing with parents of girls having sweet 16's is NOT fun.

Although a few weeks ago, I did one for a family that owns a high end liquor store. They were so impressed, they gave me a bottle of Opus One 2005 Red Wine and Macallan 25.
